Gerrard, 45, was filmed on the stage with a father and son during the event.
The clip showed the dad rubbing the retired midfielder's legs and trying to pass the DNA on to his son in the hope of him inheriting his talents.
The two Liverpool fans were then ushered off the stage by a security guard.
But Gerrard appeared baffled at what had just happened as he could be seen laughing in the background.
The clip has gone viral on social media, but fans think the act could have had an opposite effect.
Many believe that if the son does inherit anything from Gerrard, it would be his unreliable footing that cost him the Premier League title.
The 114-capped England midfielder infamously slipped against Chelsea during the 2013/14 title race.
His fall allowed Demba Ba to race through and score the Blues' go-ahead goal in the 2-0 win at Anfield.
As a result, Liverpool lost the game and ultimately conceded the Premier League to Manchester City.
And fans made their feelings clear on social media.
Steven Gerrard spotted at major sporting event as he gives personal update after Al-Ettifaq exit
One posted: "Guys gonna have slippy jelly legs now, nice one dad."
A second wrote: "Just for him to let it slip."
A third commented: "Depriving the kid of winning a league title."
A fourth said: "Can't wait for the slip."
Another added: "This bloke is trying to take the DNA from Gerrard's legs to put them into his own son's is too funny."
Gerrard retired from football in 2016 after a one-year spell with LA Galaxy.
He has since gone into management with a mixed bag of success.
He did well at Rangers as he won the Scottish Premiership in 2021 but then failed at Aston Villa.
Gerrard was most recently in charge of Saudi outfit Al-Ettifaq but was sacked back in January.
