Gerrard aiming to emulate Hunt

Last updated : 15 May 2009 By Al Campbell
Gerrard hopes to emulate Sir Roger by winning the league with Liverpool and the World Cup with England in the same season in 2010 as Hunt did in 1966.

"Roger Hunt was a fantastic player," said the skipper.

"It's a bit before my time but my dad has certainly made me aware of how good Roger was.

"If I can go on and emulate what he achieved in 1966 next year, you will certainly see a happy Steven Gerrard come the end of the World Cup!

"It would be the best year of my career without a doubt.

"To win the league and then go on and win the World Cup, that's what dreams are made of.

"There's a lot of hard work and a lot of hurdles to get over before I can achieve that.

"But it is certainly the ambition and the dream. And I think it's possible."
