Don’t miss these Steven Gerrard birthday jokes as the Liverpool captain’s hopes of a dream FA final on his 35th birthday in his last season at the club were dashed by defeat to Aston Villa in the semi-final.
The stage was set for the Liverpudlian legend’s final game for the club to be the FA Cup final itself, but he was powerless to prevent his side’s exit from the competition as Tim Sherwood’s newly rejuvenated troops recorded an unlikely 2-1 win at Wembley on Sunday.
As his perfect send-off is ruined, check out the best Steven Gerrard birthday jokes after Aston Villa beat Liverpool 2-1 in the FA Cup semi-final:
Ah well. Maybe the FA should let Gerrard present the trophy?
That would still be a good send off.

Did anyone ask Gerrard if he wants to play at Wembley on his birthday? Maybe he already has plans?

Steven Gerrard's birthday falls on the same day as the FA Cup final. What a fitting send off it would be if someone can get him a ticket.

So Gerrard doesn't get "the sendoff he deserves".
And that ironically sums up his career in the best possible way.

Shame really, cause I was looking forward to seeing Gerrard lose a cup final on his birthday.

0 – Number of trophies Steven Gerrard will win on his birthday this year. Bumps.

Apparently Gerrard is now going bowling then to TGI Fridays for his birthday.
