            Teammates and opponents of Steven Gerrard took time to honour the Liverpool legend as he made his final appearance at Anfield in a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.

            Here, a selection of the social media tributes that have been paid to one of the club's greatest players:

            The greatest player to ever wear a Liverpool shirt. Wish I was there to share his last moments and season with the club. He's taught me a lot about football on and off the field and made me feel welcome at the club on my first day when I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. As the saying goes you don't know what you've got till its gone but for me we already know what we'll miss. As I said before the greatest to wear the the Liverpool shirt and one of the greats of world football leaves our club today and I just want to say thanks for everything bro. All the best on the next chapter of your life and career. Studge @stevengerrard ❤️
