Gerrard refuses to sign LA Galaxy shirt

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard refused to sign a Los Angeles Galaxy shirt for a fan during his Anfield farewell on Saturday.

The 34-year-old midfielder will join the MLS side in July on an 18-month deal after calling an end to his 17-year Liverpool career next weekend.

On Saturday, after Gerrard's final game at Anfield, which ended in a 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace, the midfielder walked around the pitch to bid farewell to the supporters.

While approaching a section of fans to sign memorabilia, one supporter asked Gerrard to put his autograph on an LA Galaxy shirt, but the ex-England captain replied: "I'm not signing LA Galaxy tops until I'm there."

Twitter user @WadeMuscart posted a video of the exchange on social media.
