After returning from injury, the Liverpool skipper has helped his side to fifth place in the Premiership and maintained their Champions League run.

"December has been a phenomenal month for Steven Gerrard, particularly when you bear in mind the severity of the injury he has recovered from," said a spokesman for Barclays. "His inspirational presence on the pitch has been sorely missed by Liverpool.

"Having him back on top form can only be a good thing for the Reds and England, as on his day he is one of the best midfielders in the world."
