Stevie's Brazil-liant

The mighty Stevie G - hands off, Brazil boys, he's ours!

Especially you, Pele old son. Anyone would think you were a leading light in the football world or something, a shining, legendary beacon of brilliance in the annals of the beautiful game.

The thing is, Pele thinks Steven Gerrard's style is Brazilian.

Wonder if the same goes for his foxy other half, Alex Curran? But we digress...

Of mild-mannered Merseyside genius Stevie, Pele gushes to the Sun: “He would play in my team, no doubt. Gerrard is an excellent player, absolutely world-class.

"If I was a manager, everywhere I went I would buy Steven Gerrard.” High praise indeed, from world soccer's all-time greatest.
