I played for Liverpool, known for my versatility, featuring in multiple positions, including defense, midfield, and even as a makeshift striker during injury crises. I was appreciated for my work rate and commitment but never quite cemented a regular starting place despite being at the club for a considerable amount of time. I was also known to be a leader in the dressing room, a true professional, and played a role in a League Cup win. I was a crowd favourite because of my hard work, but I never scored as many goals as expected. Who am I?

1. I was signed from a Premier League club.
2. My time at Liverpool overlapped with Steven Gerrard.
3. I am not a foreign player
4. I had a spell at West Ham United after leaving Liverpool.
