Steven Gerrard Stars in ADIDAS Advert

Steven Gerrard Stars in ADIDAS Advert at Haig Avenue

EXCLUSIVE: Southport.gb.com first for the news!

He has played at some of the world’s best stadiums and graced some of football’s greatest occasions, but Steven Gerrard's star status yesterday encountered the more modest side of the beautiful game at Haig Avenue.

Despite the unfamiliar venue, the England international was still under the full glare of the spotlight as the centre of attention in the filming of an Adidas commerical, for which Southport Football Club provided the backdrop.


Security around the ground- Pic by Roving Eye


Twenty foot screens were erected to keep out unwanted photographers

Gerrard took part in several hours’ recording, along with his Liverpool colleagues Dirk Kuyt and Daniel Agger, for a photo shoot that will form part of a forthcoming advertising campaign for the sportswear manufacturing giant. It is suggested that the shoot was to promote a new design of boots and footballs.


Steven Gerrard

Amid stringent security, the players were ushered into Haig Avenue in unmarked cars with blacked-out windows at lunchtime following training.


Liverpool's Kuyt arrives at Haig Avenue

Having arrived on Tuesday morning, staff from Manchester-based Chief Productions worked into the evening unpacking several van-loads of equipment and finalising preparations.


Daniel Agger asks where is OTS?


There he is!

With nine days to go before the Premier League kick-off, Gerrard, Kuyt and Agger today jetted off to Holland ahead of Liverpool’s first match in the pre-season Rotterdam Tournament against Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.

Oh, almost forgot....we need the money more than Liverpool.

Idiotic says: Thu 2nd Aug 2007, 08:50 PM
Don't see the point of all that security,Stevie G was in Crystals in Birkdale on Monday with a few mates and no security to be seen,surely it would have been a good PR venture to let a few kids in to watch the filming

WOW!!! Who the hell cares!

Love the pic of the security guys - look tough - look like they are really expecting trouble

 
 
mr granada says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 12:53 AM
Silly haircuts ,folded arms & dark sunglasses never made anyone that tough in my day.

 
 
roving-eye says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 07:22 AM
The guy in the middle with the dark glasses(top picture) told me to go away in some of the worst language I have ever heard!

No photographs allowed and he did everything he could to block my view. Took these thru his legs.

Fun packed half an hour with the Men In Black running round Haig Ave like headless chickens!





 
 
the_sphinx says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 08:09 AM
Did he tell you to 'go away' before or after you started taking photos through his legs? I think we should be told! ;-)

 
 
roving-eye says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 08:20 AM
Before during and after!!

Was not impressed when I told him Eddie Murphy did it better.

 
 
fluffy rabbit says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 09:23 AM
Eddie Murphy ? you have lost me !

 
 
pedoja says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 09:32 AM
I wonder whether that HUGE watch is a real one or a 'wrist duster' (as opposed to a knuckle duster) in disguise!

When I first saw the pics it reminded me of the film 'Men in Black'.

 
 
pedoja says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 09:32 AM
Was 'rodders' mending the roof of the house in Haig Ave... to get such good pics ;)

 
 
mentalmickey says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 10:00 AM
Fluffy Rabbit I think he is referring to his famous quote in Beverly Hills Cop "Get the ...... out of here" when talking to the sausage jockey in the boutique

LOL Roving!

The photo of the three blokes made me laugh... the clothes, the stance - and him with the sunglasses looks like a younger version of Paul Shane who used to play Ted in Hi-de-Hi! Sorry fellas, you're just not scary enough!

 
 
ytrewq says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 10:46 AM
mr granada

i know what you mean, i'd love to be more aggresive towards you - please give me a reason.

 
 
fluffy rabbit says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 10:59 AM

Skichic says: Fri 3rd Aug 2007, 11:00 AM

The first bodyguard, is he off the real hustle?

 
 
portfan says: Sun 5th Aug 2007, 12:25 AM
How can you be first when the visiter knew about it two weeks ago?

 
 
pedoja says: Sun 5th Aug 2007, 09:27 AM
Was there anything in any of the Visiters about this event?

If so I didn't see it... but I saw this.

SGB News is certainly more 'instant'.
