Well he is going at the end of the season. Regardless of your footy team you can all appreciate what a player he was...and is.

Loyal to one club. Never a bad story in the news about him. A top top role model for all youngsters.

We salute you Jamie Carragher!

Future Liverpool manager without a doubt.

LEGEND.
 
Future manager? Bit strong don't you think?
I hope that he stays on at the club, he has served Liverpool well while standing in the shadow of Gerrard.

Should have had more England caps though imo.
 
Not at all, he is naturally one of thee most intelligent footy thinking people in the game now. I'd say he will be offered a coaching role in the reserves before being taken into the first team coaching staff in a couple of years down the line.
 
I didn't mind him too much until he tried to break Nani's leg.

I'm sure Liverpool fans will miss him anyway.
 
Legend.

Hope we succeeds in whatever he decides to do after, would be nice if he had success at the club.

Nice time to announce it after his past few games he has been pretty good.
 
Didn't he do the same to Rigobert Song, and essentially put a target on Lucas Neill too?

Awesome footballer, seems like a complete tool. Not good for Liverpool though, and he'll definitely be missed on the pitch by them.
 
Song thing seems a whole lot of nothing, leaving a mark in the 50/50.

Revenge on Neill was incredibly sad and dumb, if you're going to do it, do it on the pitch, mind you it wasn't actually him.

He went to apologise to Nani, made a bad tackle, not like he ever did many.
 
I guess it would be easy to call Carragher a **** like all the children are doing in the Gary Neville thread but fact of the matter is like Neville Carragher to my knowledge has never actually done anything to deserve that kind of abuse from the other side (not like his mate Captain Starfish)

Great servant for Liverpool FC, very good defender for a couple of years back around the time of Mourinho's Chelsea and from what I've seen could well be a very good pundit hopefully removing Jamie Redknapp as Liverpool's representative on a Sunday afternoon
 
Great servant of the club, and for a few seasons one of the best CB's in the league.

Hope he makes it onto/into full time punditry. Manager? no thanks far too xenophobic.
 
He's been a fantastic servant for Liverpool, I recall him being just brilliant at times in Europe for them.
 
I think Houllier once said something along the lines of Carra would never make someone's all time Liverpool 11 but he would find (and has found) himself somewhere in every mangers side.

There's been plenty of players with more ability than him but very few have made as much of their ability as he has. When he got his first run in the side he was a CM, he wasn't the most exciting CM around (far from it) but he played to his limitations and done the job asked of him. It was the same when he played RB or LB, he wasn't a great fullback because of his limited ability going forward but you'd have been hard pushed to find another fullback as good as him defensively.

Until 2004 he was only ever a decent squad player but when Benitez came and moved him to CB he went up a level and for the next 4 years or so he was consistently one of the best centre backs around. He wasn't physically the biggest, strongest or quickest but he knows the game as well as anybody and isn't afraid of putting his body on the line. I couldn't count the amount of times he's read a pass and/or made a last ditch interception and I'll never tire of him pushing & pulling teammates into position at set-plays.

Gerrard always gets a lot of praise for our CL win but in both the final and the run-up to the final, Carra was key. His performances home & away to Juve and Chelsea and in the 2nd half & ET of the final were incredible.

I'm not too sure about him going on to be a manager for us - he'll have to go away and prove himself before that can be talked about - but I hope (and expect) he stays at the club in some sort of capacity because a lot of players (young and old) could learn a lot from him.

:D

Neville's just annoying, even just to look at.
 
Fans from clubs like Arsenal andd the like always moan about players like The Nevilles and Carragher because they can easy point to their deficiencies. Yet you can guarantee them kind of players are your 7/10 week in week out and are needed at any club.

A good servant for Liverpool.

I think he will going on to be a very accomplished coach. He is very knowledgeable in a lot of aspects of the game. Whether he has the capacity to be management material remains to be seen

It's not just their ability or their own performance in isolation, it's their mentality and everything else they offer to the team. Carragher wouldn't just know his job, he knew every other players job and would make sure they were told if they weren't doing it.

There's a great picture of Alonso having to stop Carra from killing Pennant in a game against Villa; Pennant had just been booked and then got involved in some handbags and Carra came sprinting over and was about to kill Pennant before Alonso intervened.

Wasn't that Arbeloa? Or did I miss this one lol
 
There was an incident with Arbeloa where they both gave each other a bit of **** after WBA(?) had a chance to score and iinm Arbeloa pushed him away and then Alonso intervened but this was a separate incident.
