Two threads on here about that fucking prick Beckham retiring, not one on here for one of our greatest ever servants retiring. Tragic.
Anyway.
Thanks for everything you great big legend you.
26 years with one club. Over 700 games. A huge part of Istanbul (the images of you picking yourself up with cramp to clear another dangerous cross, your bollocking of Dudek for spiling a simple cross, your revving up of Dudek before the pens. For your awesome left back seasons, your imperious centre back seasons, your fight, your bottle, your belief, your total love of the club. For not spitting the dummy when you got dropped then coming back as good as ever. For always putting the club and the fans first. For the Highbury coin, and putting Shreeves in his fucking place.
You're a credit to your family, your self and to the club.
We'll not see the likes again and I'll be proud to be there to see you for your last game.
Thank you Carra and good luck la.
 
Yep, not one of the most skillful, but without the likes of Carra, you don't have a heartbeat in the team. Someone who's shrill, Bootle accent can always be heard above the noise of the crowd as he marshalls the defence.

Good luck Carra, I saw your first game in 1997 and I'll see your last in 2013. I will feel privileged to have watched you and tell my grandchildren about the legend that is - 23 Carragher.
 
Carra rightly takes his place among the other club legends.
A great and model professional.
What I liked about Carra in his earlier incarnation as a full back was his ability to learn.
There were a couple of matches where he got turned over by the opposing winger in the first half.
But pretty much every time the second half came around Carra would have learned how to deal with him and have him in his pocket.
Being Carras's last game was the main motivator in going to it in the first place.
 
It's Carra's Maltese blood that made him what he is. 😉 Seriously, the man has been a superb club servant in so many ways and I hope there'll be more in the future.

Jamie Carragher YNWA.
 
So should this thread be deleted then? I can add my post to the Carra's last game thread. I just quite can't get the forum etiquette!
 
All of this, and without the benefit of a bellybutton. Well done Carra. A great defender, a fantastic competitor and the epitome of Scouse spirit.

and all with a pitching wedge for a right foot too. A remarkable man, player, and Scouser.
 
He'll be remebered as one of this club's all time greats. A local lad who's made it big time at LFC.
YNWA Carra!
 
I honestly think i'll blub on Sunday.
More heart than every other player weve had in the past decade combined.
Mr LFC.
 
My favourite player of our generation, everything you'd want in a captain - heart, determination and a completely professional attitude towards his career and his club.

The picture of him jumping and leaping with cramp ridden limbs after Shevchenko's missed pen in Istanbul with that mental smile is my favorite Liverpool moment of all time.
As honest as the day is long and always up for the fight.
I will always love the man.
 
This sums up the great legend that Carra is, fantastic player and person.
More heart and passion than anyone else.

Carra: "I’d just like to be remembered as someone who was always there, as someone who gave his all."
 
My favorite Carra memory is from the famous interview post a champions league defensive master class, when the reporter asked Jamie if he would consider moving to a bigger club.
I paraphrase.........
"A bigger club?
Who is bigger than Liverpool?"
 
It's sad that Callaghan, as far as I recall, slipped away with no real fuss, and what a record that gentleman and wonderful player he was, to amount to so many games even when an injury would get a bit of cold water and a sponge. Loads of those who'll cheer Carra on Sunday were on his back for ten years before. In ten years time he'll have millions of fans who cheered him for season after season. No wonder he won't be too emotional on Sunday. He's a realist
 
Wasn't Callaghan booked for the one and only time in his last game for Liverpool?
For a pretty innocuous challenge by those days standards too if I recall correctly.
 
Not his last time, but, yes, for a nothing challenge that a ref saw a bit of a name for himself so he booked him.

I'd like to think most of "us" were in complete support of him throughout, I know I was and I know you were. I think Carra is slipping away with similarly minimal fuss as Callaghan did, exactly the way they'd both want it, I imagine. We all know the score.
 
Legend.
I hope he is involved with the club in future, football needs people like him.
Was at the game against Villa where he scored the header from the corner. Thought he was a bit rubbish to be honest.
Ecstatic to be wrong.
Good luck Carra!
 
Local lad made good. Always an interesting story.

Very professional, looked after himself; understood his job and did it well.

Deserved the bag load of trophies and money. He more than earned both.

It's said he's an encyclopedia of football knowledge so I'm looking forward to seeing him on the telly for a long time to come.
