Steven Gerrard hired by Gary Neville

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has joined one of his former rivals, Manchester United star Gary Neville, by becoming part of his new football programme, Overlap Daily.

Gerrard has followed former Liverpool team-mate Jamie Carragher in partnering with Neville on the new show, which will broadcast every weekday at 4pm on YouTube. The inaugural episode on Friday, October 9, will feature Carragher, Neville and YouTube personality Mark Goldbridge.

The programme will also feature Joe Hart, Jamie Redknapp, Ashley Young, Tim Sherwood, Kelly Cates, Duncan Ferguson, Mark Crossley, Becky Ives and Peter Schmeichel.

Gerrard, who has resumed his punditry duties with TNT Sports this season, will make his regular presenting debut alongside Ives on Monday.

Overlap Daily will provide fans with a daily round-up of the latest football news and debate, featuring regular guests, fan questions and a phone-in segment.

Tuesday’s show will feature Cates, Young and Hart, while Redknapp and Sherwood will host Wednesday’s edition. Ferguson and Crossley will take charge on Thursday, with Goldbridge hosting Friday’s show alongside Carragher, Hart and Schmeichel.

Overlap Daily follows the success of Neville’s other podcast, The Overlap, which has reportedly generated more than 38 million monthly views since launching in 2021.

The podcast has welcomed high-profile guests including David Beckham, Tyson Fury and Rory McIlroy, establishing itself as one of the UK’s most popular football shows.

Neville, founder of the Overlap, said: “We have wanted to create a daily show for some time now. There was a moment in the last year where a manager was sacked and we didn’t have a programme for seven days – at that point we recognised that we needed to go for it.

“The quality and profile of our incredible host line-up speaks to our commitment to deliver the best insights and debate on the biggest football stories, and we’ll now be doing this daily.”

Simon Pitts, Group CEO of Global and Co-Chair of The Overlap, added: “The Overlap has created one of the most powerful football brands in the game by putting brilliant talent and genuine fan conversation at the heart of everything it does.

“Overlap Daily takes that ambition to the next level, creating a place for the stories and debates that matter, every day, with an incredible line-up of the best football voices in the business.”

Gerrard posted: “Buzzing to be joining The Overlap Daily team. Plenty of football to get stuck into and plenty of opinions to go with it. See you there! @overlapdaily.”
