Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard’s little known interest in DJing might become his livelihood after he calls curtains on his illustrious football career.

The 33-year old, according to his pal, has been taking lessons on the decks, and is seriously considering a career in mixing and composing tunes post retirement.

His friend revealed, “Stevie has been into DJing and dance music since he first started going to nightclubs in Liverpool when he was younger.

“He’s got a friend who DJs in most of the big clubs in Liverpool, and he’s been giving him lessons for years.”

He also revealed that the midfielder has already tried his hand at a Liverpool night club, where he was an absolute hit.

“He doesn’t get to go to clubs much these days because of his football, but he has had a go on the decks at Garlands nightclub in the city centre.

“There were 2,000 clubbers dancing along to Stevie’s mixing skills. He loved it and he’s really good too.”

His friend also thinks that the Stevie has an organic talent as a DJ, just as he does for football. He tips the internationally acclaimed footballer to be a famous DJ in the coming years.

“Stevie thinks that playing in front of big crowds at nightclubs can replace the buzz of playing football in front of big crowds.

“He’s going to carry on getting some DJ lessons and he plans to have another go on the decks at a different club called Passion, when he gets some time off at the end of the season.

“With his international profile as a football player and natural talent on the decks, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him being a big draw in Ibiza clubs in a couple of years.”
