[Tweets] Arsenal & Chelsea Icons Join Suarez In Paying Tribute To Steven Gerrard

It was an emotional day for Steven Gerrard as he bid farewell to the Anfield faithful after playing his final home game for Liverpool on Saturday evening.

The game didn’t go according to plan as after Adam Lallana had put the Reds in front, Crystal Palace came storming back to secure an impressive 3-1 victory.

However, the loss didn’t dampen the occasion as Gerrard bid an emotional farewell to the Liverpool fans as he prepares to bring down the curtain on a glittering career on Merseyside.

Players and former players from all over the globe have taken to social media this evening to pay tribute to Gerrard with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, Chelsea ace Cesc Fabregas and former Liverpool striker Luis Suarez among those to have their say on the midfielder.

Several of the current Liverpool squad have also been on Twitter and Instagram with Daniel Sturridge, Mario Balotelli, Jose Enrique, Lucas Leiva and Alberto Moreno all saying kind words about their skipper.

Check out what the players have been saying:

The greatest player to ever wear a Liverpool shirt. Wish I was there to share his last moments and season with the club. He's taught me a lot about football on and off the field and made me feel welcome at the club on my first day when I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. As the saying goes you don't know what you've got till its gone but for me we already know what we'll miss. As I said before the greatest to wear the the Liverpool shirt and one of the greats of world football leaves our club today and I just want to say thanks for everything bro. All the best on the next chapter of your life and career. Studge @stevengerrard
