London: Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has said that the main reason for him to choose to quit his boyhood club at the end of the current season was the fear of becoming a bit-part player.

In a conversation with manager Brendan Rodgers, the Liverpool midfielder was informed that he would not start every game. After 17 years of playing for the senior team, Gerrard announced on Friday that he will join a Major League Soccer (MLS) club at the end of the season.
