Steven Gerrard landed in Los Angeles with his wife Alex this weekend as he begins his adventure playing for the LA Galaxy in the MLS. Unlike the other favourite sons of Liverpool touching down in America, however, this was far from Beatlemania.
Only a handful of fans turned out to greet the 34-year-old stateside, where he signed a couple of shirts.
Gerrard recently returned from holiday in Ibiza, after ending 17 glorious years with his boyhood club.
The midfielder is expected to make his debut for the MLS club on 11 July against Club America.

His former club Liverpool, meanwhile, are expected to complete the signing of Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton this week. Clyne is undergoing a medical on Merseyside this week.
The Reds struck a fee with Southampton last week but have needed to remain patient to complete the switch due to the the England international having been away on holiday.
The 24-year-old right-back has since returned and is expected on Merseyside today.
Should everything go smoothly Clyne is expected to sign a five-year contract at Anfield and become the long-term successor to Glen Johnson whose contract ran out this summer.
