“If Jamie Carragher were Italian, we’d build entire dynasties around him.”

Well, the fact is, he was ours, and we did build entire dynasties around him, and they have been fucking beautiful and exciting and brilliant.

I feel like a mate is retiring today, one I could always depend upon when the going got tough, someone who would do whatever it took to win. Whilst people have been continually wetting themselves over how the next ball playing Level 3 defender is going to deal with transition, you have been getting the job done in the here and now, blocking, tackling, leading and showing something our defence is going to lack next season: passion.

They said Tommy Smith wasn't born but made, well Carra made himself. And not just good- he took his raw materials and made himself a total legend.

Good luck, Carra - you made the people happy.

Thanks for the memories.

I wish I could win the lottery, Jamie.

Can you sort it being a God, a legend and all round good egg?

For every tackle you made,
For every header you won,
For every block you stretched for,
For every goal you scored,
For every clearance you hoofed,
For every drop of sweat you shed,
For every injury you played through,
For educated Jerzy,
For THAT tackle on Nani,

Jamie Carragher - "Who's bigger than Liverpool?"

THANKYOU Jamie Carragher.

It's funny how he's actually played a pretty direct role in two of our most important goals. Crossing the ball in to Mellor for the Gerrard Olympiakos strike, and playing a ball into Baros? before Gerrard won the pen for the 3rd goal in Istanbul

I know it ultimately ended with nothing, but the goal v Middlesbrough in 2008. First game of the season. 5 minutes to go Carra pops up with that. The first moment in a truly memorable season.

A sad day today. The end of this season feels rather odd for many reasons

Club legend.

Well in Carra and thanks for the memories lad

One hell of a bloke and a cracking player for us for years. Best of luck in your new SkySports career, you can give Gary a slap from us every now and again if you feel like it. Thanks for the memories, all the best!! YNWA.

Are Jamie
who art in heaven
Defending be thy name
thy hoofed clearance be done
as it is in shooting
give us you daily scream
a defenders scream
And forgive us for playing a man on
as we forgive you for moving like a tortoise
But deliver us from losing
for thine is the number 23
the scowl and fury
for ever and ever
Are man.

;D;D that's brilliant

Hard to describe feelings, since I started to follow Liverpool in 02/03 Carra was a constant part of LFC.
Great character, things like "friendly games" does not seem to exist fo him, always 120%, uncompromising, humble, legend.
And his voice...will miss that! ;-)

Tough to see him go.

Thank you, Jamie

Thanks Jamie, you've been a tremendous service to our illustrous club. My memories of your finest moments will live on forever.
I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Enjoy retirement, you deserve it.

rob1408 · « **Reply #218 on:** May 19, 2013, 01:41:24 pm »

Its going to be tough to replace the heart, passion and fight that this giant of man brought to the club. He had virtues you can't coach, you're born with them.

Thanks for everything Carra, you'll be missed.

CorKopite · « **Reply #219 on:** May 19, 2013, 01:44:23 pm »

Absoloute legend. Been at the club longer than I've been alive. Going to be weird with him not in the squad next season as I can't remember it any other way.

Has showed in his recent run in the side that hes still more than capable but probably the right time to call it a day and go out on a high.

Pity he won't get a league medal but still an impressive trophy haul and to bow out 2nd on the list of all time LFC appearances is a fantastic achievement. Looking forward to seeing him get a great reception today now.

All the best Carra, enjoy the retirement.

Absolute legend and a proper class act for going out the way he has. Thanks for everything Carra! YNWA

Everything's been said about him and what's most annoying is that he won't want the fuss, he'll want us to get behind the next man in the shirt, he'll want us to kiss and say goodbye.

Thank you for everything Jamie Carragher YNWA

gav91v · « **Reply #222 on:** May 19, 2013, 01:48:34 pm »

Thanks for the great memories Carra. Hope you have a great last game today, and you will receive the send off you deserve. Didn't hit me how big a miss Carra is going to be until he has got back into the team since January. A truly great player and servant for this club. Hope you still stick around the club for a long time to come.

Crimson_Tank · « **Reply #223 on:** May 19, 2013, 01:50:36 pm »

Jamie,

Thank you for your commitment, support and leadership on and off the pitch. I will be sad to see you go but I will always remember the European nights, you shouting instructions at the rear, the fantastic tackles (cheers for the studs up one on Nani), and the hilarity of watching interviews with you and the new/foreign players as they nod their heads but can not understand but one out of every four words you say.

You gave us so much to hope and dream for both as adults and young lads and lasses.

Cheers for everything and enjoy the retirement you deserve it.

Just wanted to say thanks to Jamie Carragher.

A true professional, gentleman, and and an inspiration for generations to come.

On Sunday he will play his 737th and final game for Liverpool Football Club.

Thank you Jamie for everything. Legend.

Ta, for that pics.

To a genuine legend and working class hero. You'll be sadly missed on the pitch.

To a legend and one of the greatest defenders I've ever seen at Liverpool, thank you. Have an incredible last game, score a goal, and bask in the glory of the Kop after the game.

Red_Isle_Chap · « **Reply #227 on:** May 19, 2013, 02:35:06 pm »

Cheers Jamie, for all the trophies, the joyous times, the great memories that you helped to create.

We'll miss you, don't become a stranger to the club while you're in the pundits chair.

Put the whoppers from Sky in their place as often as you can.

We'll miss you lad. YNWA

Thanks for everything, we're around the same age so watching you play since the 90's has been a long journey, i'll never forget the 2001 triple season, the never say die attitude, sitting in my front room watching the FA cup final and the Uefa final in the same week, jumping around the living room when we scored two late goals, then the crazy Alaves game, just know we'd win it eventually, what a week that was, then 2005, never cried as much than at the end, it'll never be repeated, i'm just so glad i didnt switch it off at half time, when Smicer banged in the second i've never shouted and screamed so much in my life, you've been part of the best moments i've ever had watching my beloved team, so thank you and please return in some capacity, defence coach with Sami would be perfect i think... all the best and enjoy your retirement... You'll Never Walk Alone. Peace.

You've been there in the side during so many of the biggest things in my life it will be strange knowing you won't be there in the future.

You've shown passion, pride, commitment and loyalty for our club in a manner we desire every player to show in every match. Not everyone can be like you, not everyone will ever be able to reach the same level as you

I sincerely hope you won't be gone too long. That Sky mob are a bunch of idiots

I grew up worshipping the great Tommy Smith. Brave, loyal, terrifying. When you put on the red, I knew someone had opened up the quarry once more, to craft one last giant for our defence.

Thank you for your heart, your courage, your steadfastness. Thank you for all the memories.

You will be missed.
