Frank Lampard and Steven
Gerrard are both heading
for the MLS
Former England midfielders Steven Gerrard, 34,
and Frank Lampard, 36, shared the PFA Merit
award.
The veteran pair will leave the Premier League
for Major League Soccer in the United States in
the summer, having collected 220 England caps
between them.
"I'm a young boy from a council estate who has
worked ever so hard to get to where I am
today," said Gerrard, who will bring his 17-year
career at Anfield to an end this summer when
he joins Los Angeles Galaxy.
"I have been lucky, I have had a fantastic career,
it has been full of highs and lows but some of
the highs I have achieved have blown me away
and I achieved a lot of my dreams playing for
Liverpool and England.
"Frank is an unbelievable player, a world-class
player and I couldn't ask for anyone better to
share it with."
Lampard, on-loan at Manchester City from New
York City FC, added: "I have been fortunate
enough to have had a long time playing in the
Premier League along with Steven.
"It is a great honour to be alongside a player
who himself has done so much for the game.
For the two of us to get it, it is a nice send-off
and a nice ending for me."
