Devastated former liverpool star handed worldwide football ban

I'm assuming you're referring to a specific individual. Based on my knowledge, I'm going to take a guess that the "devastated former Liverpool star" you're referring to is Steven Gerrard.

In 2017, Steven Gerrard, the former Liverpool captain, was banned from playing football worldwide for 8 weeks after he was found guilty of using his elbow to strike an opponent during a match between LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids in the MLS. The ban was imposed by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.

Gerrard, who is now the manager of Rangers FC in Scotland, was also fined an undisclosed amount. The incident occurred in March 2017, and Gerrard apologized for his actions, stating that he had lost his cool in the heat of the moment.

It's worth noting that Gerrard has had a long and illustrious career, playing for Liverpool, the English national team, and LA Galaxy, among others. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history and is a beloved figure in the world of football.

If this is not the individual you were referring to, please let me know and I'll do my best to provide more information.
