Liverpool icon John Aldridge has backed Jamie Carragher's opinion that skipper Steven Gerrard is the club's greatest.
The former Reds striker feels the skipper's ability to turn high profile games on a regular basis stands him out above anybody - even the great Kenny Dalglish.
"It's been a typical kind of week for Steven Gerrard," Aldridge told liverpoolfc.tv.
"He led his side to a hugely influential victory at Bolton, came off the bench and scored a hat-trick against the fourth best team in Serie A, then produced another outstanding display against the league leaders.
"But then I wouldn't expect anything less from Stevie, because like Jamie Carragher I believe Steven Gerrard is the greatest player to have ever pulled on the red shirt.
"Now you'd expect Jamie to say that. He's Stevie's team-mate and pal after all.
"But I had the good fortune to play alongside the phenomenal Kenny Dalglish, and I believe Stevie has probably surpassed even King Kenny.
"People say that Stevie can't be considered the best of all time until he's won a league title.
"But he's inspired Liverpool to almost every other trophy - I'm thinking of his Istanbul heroics, his incredible FA Cup final display and his goals in League and UEFA Cup finals."
