It’s not quite the Anfield dugout, but Steven Gerrard’s latest appearance in Liverpool attire is sure to catch the eye of fans everywhere.
The former captain stars in the club’s official Christmas campaign, marking a well-timed return to the spotlight after declining a managerial offer from Rangers last month. In the clip shared by @LFCRetail on X, Gerrard strolls down a corridor toward a Christmas tree, carrying a child dressed in a Liverpool kit, complete with the iconic No.8 on the back.
Though brief and understated, the sight of him in a Liverpool campaign is enough to stir memories of his glory days for supporters.
The video accompanies the launch of Liverpool FC’s official Christmas Shop, announced on Liverpoolfc.com, featuring current stars such as Virgil van Dijk, Fuka Nagano, and Florian Wirtz.
Yet Gerrard’s appearance steals the spotlight—especially given his long-standing ties with Adidas and his current free-agent status. His recent decision to turn down a managerial return to Rangers, described by many as an “emotional offer,” hasn’t gone unnoticed. Instead, Gerrard opted to wait for the “right project,” a move many see as proof of his long-term vision.
This refusal, combined with his reemergence in official Liverpool media, will inevitably fuel speculation that our former No.8 could one day return to Anfield in some capacity.
After all, Gerrard has spoken of his enduring respect for Liverpool, telling Rio Ferdinand that it has “only grown stronger and thicker” since retiring. He’s been amazed by the club’s continued support, citing phone calls and invitations from senior figures as a highlight of his post-playing days.
Moments like this reaffirm that connection. Whether it’s just a festive cameo or the start of something bigger, Gerrard’s role in the Christmas campaign is a reminder that Liverpool and its legends are never truly apart. After a tough few weeks, perhaps this nostalgic glimpse was exactly the lif
What fans needed.
