Gerrard Claps For Protesting Fans

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard
appeared to back protesting fans
against the club's American
owners.
The News of the World says
Gerrard stood shoulder-to-
shoulder with Liverpool fans
protesting against the regime of
their hated American owners.
More than 2,000 fans staged a
sit-in on the Kop after the 2-2
draw with Sunderland.
And skipper Gerrard, who scored
to rescue a point, clapped them
as he came back out to warm
down on the pitch.
Furious fans hung banners and
flags on the Kop and chanted
against Tom Hicks and George
Gillett.
And Gerrard's move brought
applause from those who had
backed calls by the Spirit of
Shankly and Kop Faithful for a
visible protest at the club's
financial plight.
