Former England football captain Steven Gerrard has made a startling revelation in his autobiography, My Story. The 35-year-old midfielder, whose impressive career spanned across almost two decades, has spoken about a rather gruesome incident that nearly threatened his manhood, reported closeronline.co.uk.

The former Liverpool midfielder writes in the book: "The magic of the FA Cup was bloodied on the day my being was cut and then stitched shut on an unromantic afternoon in Bournemouth last year. It was eye-watering. I tried to close down a winger to block his cross but felt a stinging in my privates. I thought, 's*** - that doesn't feel right!' It was stinging like f***."
