Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard was always one of the sweetest strikers of the ball in the game.

He scored countless long-range stunners to rescue the Reds – most notably in the Champions League against Olympiacos in 2004 and in the 2006 FA Cup final versus West Ham United.

And the 35-year-old, now at Los Angeles Galaxy, showed during a shooting session with F2Freestylers that he had not lost a step. Do these absolute pingers bring back fonder memories, Liverpool fans?

The Liverpool Echo reports that Gerrard has been training with Liverpool ahead of his return to the MLS next year. Jurgen Klopp will hope that he can pass on some tips to his under-performing attackers.
