Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has scored a psychological victory over Chelsea captain John Terry ahead of their eagerly awaited FA Cup Semi-Final after winning The FA Cup Player of the Round award.

Gerrard and Terry were among four Premiership players nominated for the award, run in partnership with UMBRO, after their outstanding Sixth Round performances. West Ham United’s Dean Ashton and Middlesbrough’s Ugo Ehiogu were also in the running for the award.

The Liverpool skipper has also made FA Cup history with team-mate Jamie Carragher. It is the first time that two players from the same club have won the Player of the Round award in successive rounds.

The Liverpool skipper was an outright winner, polling over 65 per cent of the 34,918 votes cast on TheFA.com. Ashton attracted 20 per cent of the vote, with Terry trailing on ten per cent and Ugo Ehiogu on three per cent.

He will be presented with an engraved silver salver and also wins £1000 worth of UMBRO football kit for a local school, club or organisation of his choice. VIP attendance at The 125th FA Cup final is also guaranteed.

Gerrard is the ninth player and the third from the Premiership to join The FA’s Team of The FA Cup this season.

Well they attracted little over 250,000 fans for their Premiership Parade last season where as we attracted over a million supporters on our Champions League parade; that itself speaks volumes between the two clubs.
