Steven Gerrard

Even if you’re an Everton supporter, you have to admit he’s iconic. The last bastion of loyalty in football, Gerrard made the painful wait for another league title more bearable with once in a lifetime moments in Istanbul and Cardiff.

He didn’t do it for England, but he did it for Liverpool and became legendary for the city’s biggest club. He continues to give back to the community that made him who he is through training the Liverpool FC youth teams, and is as passionate about where he comes from as the city is proud of him.

Cilla Black

A national treasure. Cilla first found success as a singer in the 1960s alongside The Beatles and Jerry and the Pacemakers, but she is remembered for much, much more. Her broadcasting career saw her rise to become one of the nation’s favourite personalities, with shows like Blind Date and Surprise, Surprise becoming seminal weekend classics that families enjoyed all over the country. The outpouring of pure love when she passed away showed how much she was adored by Liverpool and the British public.
