Never a man to shy away from a tackle, Steven Gerrard has reminisced in eye wateringly vivid detail of a time it was in fact not best to lay his balls on the line in honour of Liverpool FC.
Taken from an extract from the man’s new autobiography, Stevie G walks us through the moment he cut his penis open during an FA Cup tie at Bournemouth last season.
He goes on:
The magic of the FA Cup was bloodied on the day my penis was cut and then stitched shut on an unromantic afternoon in Bournemouth last year. It was eye-watering. I tried to close down a winger to block his cross but felt a stinging in my privates. I thought, ‘S**t — that doesn’t feel right!’ It was stinging like f***.
The gash looked pretty bad, right across the middle. There was plenty of blood. I needed four stitches and the lads were absolutely p*ssing themselves.
Ah the magic of the FA Cup…
The poor man nearly sacrificed his own chap for the Liverpool cause and hey didn’t even offer him so much as an assistant management role.
The swine’s….
