The white is clean, the navy and gold sash is vivid, and the Herbalife Nutrition sponsor and crest are intact. Only one thing to point out: a few faint micro marks on the white back, below the name (photo 6), visible only up close.

Not sure about the size? This S measures 49 x 71 cm: compare with the flat measurements below, or check my size guide.

Steven Gerrard, the final chapter in Los Angeles

After more than fifteen seasons in Liverpool's first team, Steven Gerrard joined LA Galaxy in July 2015. He kept the number 8 he had worn throughout his career at Anfield.

A dressing room of big names: Robbie Keane, Ashley Cole and Giovani dos Santos wore this same shirt in 2016.

November 2016: Gerrard announced the end of his playing career, a few days after the Galaxy went out of the play-offs.

The navy and gold diagonal sash is the Galaxy's signature, and Herbalife has been with the club since the Beckham era. This shirt tells the very last page of a legend's story.
