Fabio Cannavaro's tribute to Steven Gerrard goes very, very wrong

Fabio Cannavaro's tribute to Steven Gerrard goes very, very wrong

Italian World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro paid tribute to departing Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard on Facebook... by posting a picture of rival Frank Lampard.

Gerrard made his final appearance at Anfield in the 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday and Cannavaro added his own statement to the masses of others with a post on Facebook.

The former Parma, Inter, Juventus and Real Madrid defender, who captained Italy to the World Cup in 2006, posted a picture and a variety of hashtags on his Facebook page as a gesture of respect to the former England captain.

Unfortunately, the picture was not of Gerrard, as intended, but of his long-time Chelsea and Manchester City rival Frank Lampard.

Oh dear. It's not even that nice a picture.
