NEW DELHI: Former Liverpool and Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge has revealed the inspiration behind his iconic arm-waving goal celebration dance.
The former England forward's celebration was a regular sight at Anfield as he scored 50 Premier League goals for the Reds, helping them go close to the title in 2013-14.
"It's 'The Sturridge dance'. It's not 'The Wave' which FIFA called it, it's not the name. It's 'The Sturridge dance' so let's get that straight and fine and dandy," he said on his YouTube channel.
The 30-year-old explained the story behind the origin of his on-field celebration which started at his apartment.
"Hanging out with my cousins and my friends in my apartment. There was some house music playing, filming us, a couple of drinks flowing, you know," Sturridge said.
"I literally just started doing that move. It wasn't as smooth, it wasn't as clean but I was a little bit tipsy and just decided to start moving that way," he added.
Sturridge said that at first it looked 'hilarious' and later on he decided to do it whenever he scored a goal.
"I think the very first time I did the dance, we played Man United in the Carling Cup at Stamford Bridge when I was playing for Chelsea. That was the first time I brought the dance out.
Mind you, it's evolved a lot since then. It wasn't as smooth or as clean as it is now," he said.
Sturridge is currently without a club after seeing his contract at Turkish side Trabzonspor cancelled.

How to Perform Every New Celebration in FIFA 23
By Thomas Bowen
As well as five signature moves, FIFA 23 introduces six brand-new goal celebrations, including the ever-popular Griddy. Here's how to do them all.
As well as new signature celebrations for Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Roberto Firminho, Christian Pulisic, and Sam Kerr, FIFA 23 introduces six brand-new goal celebrations. The most popular of these is undoubtedly the Griddy, which actually originates from American Football, though that's not to say that some of the other new additions in FIFA 23 aren't also worth checking out.

90,000 Sturridge came up with his signature celebration while drinking with friends. Here is his instruction on how to repeat - Red in the margin - BlogsRed in the margin

“Hey buddy, look at me. Do like me!"
The whole world is sitting at home without football because of the coronavirus. And only Daniel Sturridge sits at home due to the fact that he was suspended from football for six months for betting - in 2018, the striker advised his family to bet on his transfer to Sevilla or Milan. As it turned out, this was bad advice, but Sturridge was punished anyway.
Dan, after being banned, terminated his contract with Trabzonspor of his own free will - he says that he did not want to receive a salary and not play.
But now Sturridge has plenty of time to entertain himself and entertain others.
He launched a YouTube channel, masters tiktok, just posts on instagram. It came to the main creation in the life of Sturridge - his famous dance after the goals. The channel released a video in which the former Liverpool striker told how he came up with these movements.
The final Sturridge dance.

This is Daniel Sturridge, Dee Stugee Dee, Dee Studge - call it what you will. Everyone asked me to talk about the "Sturridge dance" - it is called that even in FIFA.
Now there will be a story of appearance. I hung out at my cousin's house, music was playing, we had a couple of drinks, you know. And I don't know what happened - I just started doing this movement. It was not so pretty, not so neat. But like I said, I was a little tipsy.
When I finished moving, we all thought it was wildly funny. And then I said that I would repeat it when I scored. The first time I danced was when I played for Chelsea against Man United in the League Cup. But since then, the movements have evolved - now they are smooth and clean.
By the way, that match between Chelsea and Manchester United happened in October 2012. The Londoners (led by Roberto Di Matteo) won 5-4 in extra time with Dan scoring the fourth in the 97th minute. A couple of months later he left for Liverpool.
We checked and Dan is a bit wrong. For the first time, the celebration was lit up a few days before the match with Manchester United. Chelsea bombed Tottenham 4-2 away, and Dan himself scored in the 91st minute. And he danced next to a smiling Lampard.
Since then, many have tried to repeat the dance, but few have succeeded:
Alberto Moreno - 👎
On this day 4 years ago, Moreno joined the reds! 🔴
Here he is trying to learn the Sturridge dance 😂 #LFC pic.

Kylian Mbappé did an authentic job – by the way, this is 2016 and the Frenchman's first goal in his adult career.

Especially for colleagues and fans, Sturridge made detailed instructions on how to do the "Sturridge dance" correctly. Remember:
1. Feet shoulder width apart.
2. We make a movement with our hands - almost like a wave. One hand up, the other down;
3. Move your body slightly following your hands;
4. The most important thing is the legs. Dan says that without legs is generally wrong. Move your feet and knees towards your raised arm.
And further variations are possible - Sturridge himself will show.
Now you know how to do the Sturridge celebration when you play football. Of course, after the quarantine is over.
