A waxwork of Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard was officially unveiled today - much to the delight of the man himself.
The model - which has been worked on since last October after Gerrard met a team of sculptors at Melwood - will now feature in the Sports Zone of the Madame Tussauds Museum in London.
Liz Edwards, PR manager for Madame Tussauds, said: "We very rarely 'unveil' our figures outside of the attraction in London so being in Liverpool at Anfield makes this a very special occasion.
"It is particularly appropriate that Steven joins the Madame Tussauds line-up in World Cup year.
"His inclusion is in response to huge demand from the public and we know fans are going to enjoy getting up close to him in the run-up to the competition in June."
Gerrard met up with his completed waxwork earlier today at Anfield - and our photographer was there to take some snaps.
