Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed he is considering retiring at the end of his current contract.
The 29-year-old England midfielder has a deal until 2013 with the Reds, but admits it could be his last in football.
"I'll be 33 at the end of my contract, and it's doubtful whether I'll carry on," he said in an interview with France Football. "If I decide to stop, I'll be proud of the fact I've spent my entire career with the same club."
Gerrard also revealed he gave serious thought to leaving Anfield for Chelsea four years ago, but changed his mind late in the day.
"I've thought about leaving Liverpool twice during my career, especially in 2005 when Chelsea was a temptation," he added.
"But I'm glad I never turned those thoughts into reality."

I rue the day he will retire, he is a class act, a joy to watch and plays the game in the right spirit for his beloved Liverpool.
I am an MU fanatic, but each of us are fully aware that Gerrard is class and in my opinion, the best in the world in his position.
good ridance i say

u better retire earlier than that because it's wasting ur time....
because u'll never get any of prem medal..hahahahahahahahhahaa
I'm a Liverpool supporter, tho I do idmire some player who pay against us but in reallity Stev G is unique in overall, he doen't get exhausted. His quality of mid fielding, defending and scoring is un beleavable.The nxt ones are Ronaldo and lampard in English league.
RETIRED WITH WITH NO PREMIER LEAGUE MEDAL.GUARANTEED.
I have, as a Chelsea supporter, nothing but admiration for Gerrard. People in general are not reminded often enough that the man is World Class, and a decent, 'straight up and down' chap to boot (if you will pardon the pun). I believe he would have loved the England captaincy, but was gracious, professional, and loyal in losing out to John Terry. The only thing that stops me wishing him well in lifting The Premiership before hanging up his boots is that he plays for the wrong team! On a serious note, I don't think he would have been happy with a move to London, so with his heart on his sleeve, I always respected his decision. Future Anfield manager, down The Road ...?
From a United fan:
Stevie G is a credit to his team, and his country's squad, as well. He is a class player, and a real winner. About the only negative thing I can think to say is that he occasionally goes down a little too easily. That being said, my team had the biggest diver in the Premier League, so who can really complain? At any rate, well done, Steven, you are absolute class.
Peace,
A committed, though diplomatic United fan
Don't read too much into what some sports man say, four years later he might be saying: 'I'm not retiring until i lift the premiership trophy', oops!
Guys...we're football fans. Club supporters. We should be friends, we are only virtually enemy on the fields. YNWA
