Gerrard happy to lead from back
Anthony Gerrard insists he doesn't see himself as a role model for the Walsall youngsters but is happy to lead from the back.
The Saddlers defender is one of the longest serving players at the Banks's Stadium and, despite only being 22, is set to complete his fifth season.
Gerrard has captained the side this season despite being on the transfer list and wants to emulate his own role models, former Everton defenders David Weir and Alan Stubbs.
The former Toffees trainee said: "I had role models when I first started out. I'm not saying I'm a role model to the players here, but if they look up to me and ask me for advice then I'd be more than happy to give it.
"Weir and Stubbs were my role models you can't get better players than that, they've played at international level and that's the highest level you get.
"We've got a few young lads in now and hopefully everyone can develop together and push on.
"I'm 22 now and I am more senior, but hopefully I can keep progressing myself."
