His status as a Liverpool legend has long been assured, but Steven Gerrard is now further burnishing that reputation with his feats as the club's under-18 coach.
The 37-year-old former captain has made an oustanding start to his role nurturing the next generation of Anfield talent and will certainly reflect with satisfaction on his first few months in charge.
Liverpool currently top the Northern Division of the Under-18 Premier League, remaining unbeaten after 11 games, and they also topped their group in the continental UEFA Youth League competition.
All told, and including the FA Youth Cup and the Under-18 Premier League Cup, Gerrard's side have lost just one of 21 competitive matches so far this season.
