I think his point is that these player haven't finished their career yet and they will surely learn new things (about the game) before they retire, so they better wait untill they know "everything" and then write books...
no matter how much gerrard achieved, every match can bring a new experience.

I finished reading franck mcCourt's biography -actually written like a story - 2 months ago and I liked it a lot.
autobiographies are very nice, especially when they are biographies of special people with special jobs... (maradona, armstrong, presidents/leaders, billionaires, ...)
