‘I know that it does sound weird to say, yeah? But I proper envy Steven Gerrard. You know, the football player?’ It’s Liverpool. The Champion’s League Final in Istanbul was 13 years ago. The buzz is still rife. The obsession is still real. Steven Gerrard has left Liverpool Football Club, but his legacy keeps on growing; a legacy that Shane wants to embody and emulate.
Though Shane shares an ambition no different to many of those around him, it soon transpires that he yearns for something far beyond football. And in a city where ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ is the mantra, why does Shane constantly feel like he’s the only one on the sideline?
Shane is back home to see his dad for the first time in three years. To heal old wounds. To attempt to find his place in a world that he has never felt a part of. To get Answers. What secrets will come to light? And who will they come from? Could these revelations have saved everyone from heartache?
I Am Steven Gerrard is a story of football, aspiration, music, Steven Gerrard, loneliness, reality television, love, religion, friends, loss, passion, enemies, Davina McCall, politics, ambition, family, virginity, past generations – and the impact they leave behind. ‘A deeply moving performance’ (The Reviews Hub) that explores the complexities of masculinity, and what it means to be a real man in society today. It has nothing to do with football. It has everything to do with football.
