Liverpool FC's former captain and current U18s manager has joined a host of elite athletes who are backing Liverpool’s bid, including Jamie Carragher, Robbie Fowler, Katarina Johnson-Thompson, Tony Bellew, Steve Parry and Beth Tweddle.
The city of Liverpool was this week named the 'UK's Greatest Sporting City for 2017' in a new study and is up against the city of Birmingham to become England’s official bid for the games.
Gerrard said: "I am delighted to be able to back the city’s bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
"Liverpool is a city with a rich sporting heritage with its two football teams, boxing stars and global sporting events such as the Grand National and the Open being hosted on Merseyside.
