Steven Gerrard's waxwork does farewell tour around Liverpool

The waxwork of Steven Gerrard that is usually located at Madame Tussauds in Blackpool has been doing a farewell tour ahead of the real player's summer departure.

The midfielder will close the curtain on a 17-year senior Liverpool career on May 24, but he will play in his final game at Anfield this Saturday when the Reds face Crystal Palace.

Ahead of that game, pictures have been published by the Liverpool Echo showing the figure, which is clothed in a Liverpool kit, being placed in numerous locations, including Anfield.

The waxwork was also taken to the airport and those at Madame Tussauds opted to strip him of his red shirt and give him a Los Angeles Galaxy kit in preparation for the footballer's summer move to the United States.
