Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has revealed he was embarrassed for Rafa Benitez after his old boss' infamous "facts" rant.
Liverpool were sitting top of the table in January 2009 when Benitez used his weekly press conference to direct an incredible tirade at then-Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson and the apparent misdeeds he was supposedly getting away with.
“Rafa sat down with his usual half-smile. It looked likely to be a normal press conference, but then he reached into his pocket for a piece of paper," Gerrard recalls in his new autobiography, My Story, which is being serialised in the Daily Mail.
