Liverpool star's decision that terrified his boss before he made dramatic U-turn

In the summer of 2005, Steven Gerrard handed in a transfer request at Liverpool amid strong interest from Chelsea, leaving then Reds boss Rafael Benitez fearing the worst Rafael Benitez once feared he'd be remembered as the Liverpool boss who let Steven Gerrard slip through the club's fingers. In the summer of 2005, mere weeks after guiding the Reds to a miraculous Champions League victory in Istanbul, the unthinkable happened: Gerrard submitted a transfer request amidst strong interest from Chelsea. Benitez, who had succeeded Gerard Houllier a year earlier, had swiftly endeared himself to the Anfield crowd through that unforgettable European campaign. But as the euphoria of their triumph faded, turmoil and tension took its place. ‌ Tempted by Chelsea's financial muscle and growing dominance under Jose Mourinho, Gerrard turned down several contract extensions from Liverpool, and a switch to Stamford Bridge looked all but certain. Then, in a stunning reversal, Gerrard changed his mind, bringing widespread relief across Merseyside - and, no doubt, in the Benitez household too. ‌ "There was a point where Rafa Benitez thought he was [going to be known as] the manager who had sold Steven to Chelsea," former Liverpool striker Emile Heskey told Prime Casino. "But it didn't go through in the end." Just as fans had mixed reactions to reports linking Trent Alexander-Arnold with Real Madrid earlier this year, Gerrard became something of a pariah in certain Anfield circles. Chelsea's interest was widely known, and with Liverpool struggling to challenge for top domestic honours, Gerrard, understandably, began weighing his options. In the end, Chelsea's efforts came to nothing. Gerrard reversed his transfer request and penned a new, high-value deal, pledging the peak of his playing years to the Reds. At the time, he famously declared: "If I win a couple of trophies at Liverpool, it would mean an awful lot more to me than to win 10 at Chelsea." In the end, Gerrard got his wish - at least in part. He added two more pieces of silverware to his cabinet with Liverpool: the 2006 FA Cup and the 2012 League Cup. However, the Premier League title - the one honour he craved most - remained agonisingly elusive. Meanwhile, Chelsea continued reaping the rewards Gerrard knowingly sacrificed. Over the next several years, the London outfit accumulated an impressive haul - multiple league titles, domestic honours, and the coveted Champions League trophy in 2012. ‌ Though Gerrard ultimately followed his heart, the price he paid was steep. Heskey, however, firmly believes his former team-mate made the correct call in staying. "He's a local lad, and he's become a legend. It's difficult when you're leaving your local team, especially when it's Liverpool or you're leaving a Manchester club, and you're such a big legend within the city," said Heskey, who spent four-and-a-half seasons at Anfield. ‌ "Going to, say, Chelsea or Arsenal or someone like that is going to be tough when you come back with a London team. If you're going abroad, it's not as bad, even if Trent was getting grief recently. "But as we saw with Michael [Owen], as we saw with [Steve] McManaman, and players like that, it's not as bad. But when you go to Chelsea, like Steven almost did, that's tough. I believe it was right for him to stay even though he probably would have won league titles if he left." Despite his dedication, the Premier League crown continued to evade Gerrard's grasp, though not without a couple of agonising near-misses. Under Benitez in 2008/09, they pushed Manchester United all the way, ultimately finishing just four points adrift. ‌ Then came the 2013/14 season - perhaps the most gut-wrenching of all. With Brendan Rodgers at the helm, Liverpool mounted a thrilling and unexpected title charge, powered by Gerrard's veteran leadership and the attacking brilliance of Luis Suarez, Raheem Sterling, and Philippe Coutinho. But with only three fixtures remaining, a fateful slip against Chelsea of all teams - an infamous moment now etched into football folklore - allowed Manchester City to leapfrog Liverpool and pip them to the post. As such, Gerrard's dream of capturing the Premier League with his boyhood club, thus justifying his Chelsea rejection years before, slipped away again, for what would be the final time.

Why is Eastenders not on BBC iPlayer? Reason Monday's episode is ‘missing'

A new era dawns on Walford as Ben Wadey takes over as EastEnders boss from this week, and in order to mark the occasion, a mysterious and intriguing offering of the BBC One soap lined up. 'Next week marks the start of something big in Walford that we hope will get everyone talking, and it's only just the beginning,' said Executive Producer Ben on Friday, teasing what's to come. 'We've got twists, shocks, and plenty of drama lined up for a summer you don't want to miss.' The excitement is real… but if you've tried to tune in already, you'll have noticed that it's nowhere to be seen. With 'something big' on the horizon to kick things off the new chapter, Monday's (June 16) edition of the long-running serial will be withheld from BBC iPlayer until after it's broadcast on BBC One at 7:30pm. EastEnders, as audiences know, traditionally drops daily episodes on BBC iPlayer from 6am, over 12 hours before they transmit on telly. But this service will not be available to fans on Monday, who will instead have to wait until the evening to get their daily Walford fix. Do you normally watch EastEnders early on iPlayer? Yes - I like my early morning visits to Walford No - my daily Albert Square fix is better suited to evenings Monday's episode will pick up following Kat (Jessie Wallace) and Alfie's (Shane Richie) special wedding day and Jean (Gillian Wright) is yet again on the warpath, making it her mission to sabotage Harvey (Ross Boatman) and Kathy's (Gillian Taylforth) new business venture. Alfie does his best to stop her interference but he's soon distracted by a phone call from Stacey (Lacey Turner). Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

Joel Marshall (Max Murray), meanwhile, is arrested after he assaults a Tube passenger, much to the horror of Tommy (Sonny Kendall). Over the weekend, the BBC soap has posted a number of cryptic clues, seeming to suggest that a return could be on the cards. The first of these videos showed a door opening onto Albert Square, captioned: 'Knock knock, who's there?' Further videos followed the apparent point of view of the returnee, with the camera briefly flickering to black at occasions to indicate blinking. But who could it be? More Trending The offering in question will be the first tribute to Ben Wadey, who takes over from Chris Clenshaw. Under Chris' reign, EastEnders won a string of awards – including a whopping eight at the Soap Awards last month – and received acclaim on a regular basis. EastEnders continues Monday June 16 at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. View More » This article was originally published on 13 June 2025.
