Video: Liverpool fans really need to help this American journalist identify Steven Gerrard

Robbie Keane can relate to this

Robbie Keane can relate to this.

I’ll admit that not every football journalist knows every little detail about new arrivals into the respective league that they cover but that’s no excuse for a lack of research, especially when it comes to one of the most famous faces in club football.

Steven Gerrard may be a new arrival in the MLS but the former Liverpool captain isn’t exactly what you would call an ‘unknown quantity’.

Gerrard’s face has been plastered on billboards throughout L.A and I’m fairly certain that his arrival was discussed at length in the American media also which makes this glaring admission by a local journalist all the more damning.

Take a look at the video below, you can clearly hear a journalist ask his colleague if he has ‘any idea what Steve Gerrard looks like?’.

Thank god that Robbie Keane was on hand for Stevie G during this awkward moment, Keano knows a thing or two about not being recognised in the US.
