some other important statistics

Scholes makes the table with four red cards. Gerrard doesn't even get in the list.

Where yellow cards are concerned, he is fourth in the league with an outrageous tally of 89. Again Stevie doesn't even make the top 45.

Face it, he was an above average footballer protected by premier league refs, he was a thug most of the time.

He had a powerful shot and scored some good goals.

Gerrard is in another class entirely.
