Gerrard in Road Accident

Just heard on radio Merseyside so looked up the article...

Even though all is well it can shake you up when kid's run out on you...

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was involved in a traffic collision which left a 10-year-old boy with a suspected broken leg on Monday.

The car was travelling along Grantham Road in Birkdale, Merseyside when the incident happened at 3.15pm.

The spokesman for the midfielder said: "Steven was driving very slowly through an area of Birkdale when a young boy ran out and hit the side of his car. Steven comforted the boy until the paramedics arrived.

"There were apparently several eye-witnesses who saw the accident.

"Steven later attended a police station where he produced his driving documents as a matter of routine and made a statement about the accident.

"The Liverpool captain was distressed over the accident and has been in contact with the boy's family to check his progress and plans to visit him in the next couple of days."

just read about it as well....hope the little fella is ok and gets well soon...Stevie must be pretty upset and distraught at the moment.

Now I'm going to have to change my Fantasyrafa team as I think Rafa will use Stevie coming off the bench... i can just see it Mascherano and Sissoko to start

Shame for the little boy but this is outside of football not inside so Rafa WILL pick Gerrard to start against L'OM

Hope Stevie gives that boy more than a tenner!

Just half heard this news on Channel 5 but thought it said "Gerrard in road accident with broken leg!"
Instead, after checking it out here it was confirmed otherwise...
It's fortunate that the boy involved didn't run out in front of the car, the story could have been much worse. Fortunately broken bones can get fixed and I hope the little lad is on the mend ASAP. Stevie must be upset by this incident but I'm sure he'll do what he can to comfort the family.
The boy involved will certainly have a story to tell everyone for the rest of his life... 

If it's any consolation to the kid - if he gets his plaster signed by Stevie then it could be worth quite a bit in the future!

OMG. Blydi sh!t myself then!! I was thinking Gerrard was seriously hurt!!!

I like Stevie G, he is a nice person out of football aswell. I know a couple of people who have seen him out of football and they said he is a diamond, they've also seen John Terry before and said he's very arrogant and rude.

Oh my god! I thought It's Gerrard the one who was hurt! Your title sure gave me a huge shock, Bootle Buck, man! my heart was challenged too much in these 3 days, first in the match against Wigan, now when I begin to read your title!

Glad that's just a broken leg, It won't have any second effect in the future (if It hit his head, It will be much different!). I hope the little boy will be okay soon! He sure is really proud now!

Beside, I always wonder why Mr McLaren chose John Terry to be captain of England team? Is that because there're always more Chelsea's players in England squad than LiverpoolFC's?

Let's face it, if your going to get run over by anyone, who better than Steven Gerrard, at least he could kiss you better Well me anyway

No, seriously I hope the lads going to be alright, he certainly won't forget that in a hurry, will he

It easily happens i saw a little boy run out in front of a car only a few week back the driver slamed his brakes on and just missed him.but if he had killed him he woul;d have to live with that for the rest of his life,the boy in question with stevie is ok though so i dont think it should be such a big deal no dout the sun will have headlines like "SPEEDING GERRARD NEARLY KILLS BOY"

Hope the lad recovers asap.

If it's any consolation to the kid - if he gets his plaster signed by Stevie then it could be worth quite a bit in the future!

Agreed and a few tickets to anfield and he'll be right as rain

Rafa says the accident won't affect his game

no dout the sun will have headlines like "SPEEDING GERRARD NEARLY KILLS BOY"

Nice headline! It make Gerrard sound like Micheal Schumacher, kill all boys's heart with his art of racing! Just kidding!

Whatever, everyone know what happen, and I think if the Sun dare to write like that, even that boy's family will oppose It!

our boy stevie will be right and more than ready for this weeks game against the spurs....

The kids a Manc! Stevie G should have given him a signed liverpool shirt and his boots, not Rooneys! Convert him while he's young and save him from the scum....

just about to post that the kids a man united supporter (how can he support man united living in birkdale?) glad the kids ok like but still he should give him a Liverpool shirt and not a manc 1

That's sweet Stevie gave him that, I heard on 1Xtra today he was gonna visit him 'in the next few days' so he must've gone today Stevie prob would've felt bad, giving a Manc who's leg he'd broken some LFC gear he wouldn't really want.. hehe

I read that Gerrard was gutted about the incident, and looked shaken by it, the fact he stayed with him while waiting for ambulance and not playing the big time charlie gotta go, i'm too busy being a footballer, shows what type of character he is.

I think when combined with his mare of a season to date and Pako exit, this may have put Gerrard head in crisis mode... looked out of it last night!

Stevie G is one of them players who seems to really struggle in being able to switch off the personal stuff when he crosses the line on to the pitch.

I don't know what the problem is with him.

How's the kid? Put a claim in yet?
