Steven Gerrard is the player most Premiership fans want in their team, according to a survey unveiled today.
Sky Bet polled British supporters and discovered that over a third were desperate to see Stevie G don their club's colours for the New Year.
The Reds skipper, awarded an MBE in the New Year, beat Arsenal's Thierry Henry into second place.
The top five most wanted were: Steven Gerrard (35 per cent); Thierry Henry (30); Ronaldinho (24); Wayne Rooney (23); Frank Lampard (21).
The research also revealed that the most highly-prized manager was Martin O'Neill of Aston Villa (18 per cent), with the Ulsterman beating his more illustrious rivals Sir Alex Ferguson (16), Jose Mourinho (11) and Arsene Wenger (10).
