This Anfield great deserves a lasting legacy

Jamie Carragher has been a fixture in the Liverpool first team ever since making his debut almost 15 years ago. In that time he has made 676 appearances (the second most in the history of the club), and has won ten trophies working under five different managers. As the longest-serving player currently at the club, there is no doubt that he is very much part of the furniture at Anfield. But at 33-years-old, his long playing career with the Reds may soon be drawing to a close.

With the likes of Martin Kelly and Sebastian Coates being touted as Liverpool’s future first choice centre-backs, as well as pressure from established regulars Daniel Agger and Martin Skrtel, Carra has spoken recently about his possible retirement:

“Ask Kenny. He picks the team. It will be up to the coaching staff I suppose. You want to try to get as much out of your career as play as long as possible. The time will come in the next 12, 18 months, maybe two years. That won’t be down to myself. It will be down to the people around me, the staff, the manager. They will decide.”

Carragher’s passionate playing style and animated personality have become almost symbolic at Liverpool, and his eventual departure will leave a huge hole at Anfield. He loves the club and knows it inside-out, and as a local lad has a great rapport and understanding with the fans. It is plain to see that every defeat hurts him more as a supporter than as a player, and that he also celebrates every victory as if he had been watching from the stands.
