Steven Gerrard didn't stutter when naming four-man England dream team including Liverpool teammate

Steven Gerrard was in no doubt when he named his four-man England dream team based on players he shared a dressing room with.

Gerrard, 44, made 114 appearances for England during his playing career and played alongside the likes of Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes.

And the Gerrard, Scholes, Lampard debate is one that will be discussed for years to come with there seemingly being no correct answer.

However, when discussing his four-man dream midfield he had played alongside for the national team, Gerrard picked a former Liverpool teammate ahead of Lampard.

Speaking during a Twitter question and answer session back in 2012, Gerrard was asked: "If you could pick a four-man dream England midfield, who would you put in there alongside yourself?"

First, he explained how Manchester United legends David Beckham and Scholes would both be included.

But his third pick may come as a surprise.

He snubbed the likes of Michael Carrick and Owen Hargreaves, who were both talented midfielders during the 2000s and instead opted for his former Liverpool teammate Steve McManaman instead.

Of course, Gerrard played alongside his fellow Liverpudlian when he broke into the Liverpool senior side during the 1998/99 campaign as well as for the Three Lions.

McManaman left his hometown club in 1999 when he joined Real Madrid, where he went on to win two Champions League crowns, two La Liga titles, among an array of accolades.

Steven Gerrard on his England career

Despite breaking the 100-cap barrier and captaining the Three Lions, Gerrard's international career ultimately ended in disappointment as the 'Golden Generation' failed to win a major tournament and never went beyond the quarter-finals of a competition.

Speaking in 2014, following his retirement from international football, Gerrard told England.com: "I've enjoyed playing with everyone because to run out with England is a special feeling and that's what I'll miss.

"I won't miss the hotels and being away from my family.

"I will miss running out putting the shirt on a representing my country, that feeling of euphoria that you get is a difficult feeling to explain to people who have never done it."

He added: "It's good memories and to share a pitch with some of the names I've just named is phenomenal for me, you know, a young kid from a council estate who only ever dreamed of playing for England once.

To play the amount of times I have and to name the players I have played with and against is great."
