Steven Gerrard becomes instant LA Galaxy hero before he even kicks a ball

Gerrard and his representatives left a care package of large quantities of beer for the top three supporters groups after the game. Each one came attached with a note from the man himself.

The accompanying note said:

LA Riot Squad,

Even though I’ve yet to wear an LA Galaxy jersey, I am excited for the opportunity to play in front of LARS and earn your respect.

Supporters are the lifeblood of any club and I know that with your support we’ll challenge for MLS Cup again.

As a token of my appreciation for what you do for the club, I wanted to provide you with the refreshments for the 4th of July.

I look forward to meeting you at tonight’s match.

Respectfully,

Steven Gerrard
