Andrew Massey was new to the role of the Reds’ team doctor – and the experience left him traumatised as Gerrard’s was the first penis he sewed back together.
Massey, who was promoted to the post of FIFA’s head doc in March, said: “Gerrard came over to me at the end of the match and said, ‘Doc, you are going to have to have a look at this’.
“I looked down and saw blood everywhere and thought, ‘Wow, that must be really sore’.
“I was trying to think back to my medical training and nowhere in my training does it teach you how to stitch a penis.
“I thought, ‘I don’t want the first penis I’ve stitched to be Steven Gerrard’s’ but it was.”
Massey joined Liverpool FC in 2013 as the academy doctor and match-day medical co-ordinator, before acting as first-team doctor on an interim basis a year later – a position made permanent after successfully sewing Gerrard’s tackle.
The medic spoke of his delicate job on Gerrard for the first time on a podcast.
Ex-Reds captain Gerrard’s shorts ended up a bloodied mess during a January 2014 FA Cup tie against Bournemouth.
Former Northern Ireland team doctor Massey cleared a room at Dean Court – Bournemouth’s home ground – and set about stitching the midfielder’s crown jewels back together.

“Doc Massey must have wished that he could have stayed at home treating the Academy kids’ cuts and bruises. I didn’t talk much, though. I wanted him fully concentrated.
“He did a good job. I felt no pain as he put in the stitches – four as he had predicted – and I walked back into the dressing room.”
He previously told the story of the injury in his memoir.
“The magic of the FA Cup was bloodied on the day my penis was cut and then stitched shut,” it read.
“The only surprise that Saturday, was an eye-watering laceration to my private parts.
“I pulled my shorts a couple of inches away from my waist and managed a sneaky check.
“My underpants were bloodied.
“My mind was racing, I was concerned that something serious had happened.
“I discreetly pulled back my underpants as well as my shorts for a longer look.
“I ran over to the touchline, straight to Brendan
