'Captains' with Gerrard, Souness and Van Dijk – A new LFC Original film
A brand new LFC Original film released on Tuesday 18 August celebrating three Liverpool FC captains.
'Captains' is a new LFC Original film capturing a fascinating conversation with Steven Gerrard, Graeme Souness and Virgil van Dijk, which will be released exclusively on All Red Video.
The trio of Reds icons gathered at Anfield for an in-depth discussion about the privilege of representing and skippering the club.
Souness, a natural leader from the minute he arrived from Middlesbrough in 1978, wore the armband from early 1982 until his departure in 1984, with his last act leading Joe Fagan's side to a famous win in a European Cup final in Rome.
Gerrard, in 2005, became the fourth of five Liverpool captains to get his hands on club football's biggest prize, as part of a legendary 12-year stint in the position.
The current skipper Van Dijk, succeeded Jordan Henderson in the role in 2023 and has lifted two major honours as captain to date, the most recent being the Premier League title in 2024-25.
"How many people can say they've captained Liverpool Football Club?"
Souness asks in the film. "The three of us can count ourselves very lucky."
Van Dijk adds: "It all starts, I think, with, 'Do you understand the club in terms of what is required to be a Liverpool player?'"
Addressing the current captain, Gerrard says: "The best days ever. I'd swap with you right now!"
