When probed further by presenter Gary Lineker, Gerrard said: "Obviously theChelsea game. That's one that'll haunt me for a long time. [It was] the complete opposite to the feelings of the Champions League [win in Istanbul 2005]where you're on this incredible high and then when you go back to the Chelsea game, that being a pivotal moment.
"It felt like a disaster had happened in my life - that's how bad it was."
The iconic moment came just a weekafterthe skipper was caught on camera firing up his teammates after victory over Norwich, telling them'this does not f****** slip now'.The mishap set Chelsea on their way to a 2-0 victory that day, leaving the Reds' fate in the title race out of their hands.
