Huge admiration for Agger

Shame about how many injuries he suffered, great player

Fantastic centre back on his day, could have been so much mor if not for injuries. It's a shame.

Good luck to him.

Redcap · « **Reply #3202 on:** June 9, 2016, 11:36:23 am »

I hope he'll be involved with Liverpool again someday. A true red who loves the club.

Thanks for the '07 Semi final goal against Chelsea.

Shame injuries never allowed him to reach his full potential.

Stands up there with Hyypia and Carragher as the top three LFC defenders in my lifetime. World class when fit.

Will be sorely missed. He already is in Liverpool, I suppose, but now we won't get to see him on the national team or in Brøndby either. Such a shame that his body couldn't cope anymore. I hope he goes into punditry or coaching now, but from what he's said earlier that doesn't seem very likely.

Would imagine him opening his own tattoo parlor

Probably my favorite player for the club in my lifetime. All the best, Danny!

All the best Dagger.

Gnurglan · « **Reply #3207 on:** June 9, 2016, 11:58:16 am »

Just saw this. The first thing I thought of was his goal vs Chelsea.
Unfortunate to have carried so many injuries.

iirc he has owns a sewage draining company called Kloagger (loosely translated SewAgger

)

My absolute favourite Liverpool player of the last decade. Unlike all the others - Suarez, Torres, Masch, Xabi, etc., he never wanted to leave. Liverpool wasn't a stepping stone for him. I'll never forget when he was linked with Barca and City, and went out and got YNWA tattooed on his fingers. Such a shame the injuries prevented him from being more important than he was.

redan · « **Reply #3212 on:** June 9, 2016, 12:21:12 pm »

Real shame, had the ability to be one of the best defenders in world football but injuries let him down,

A true red

Asam · « **Reply #3213 on:** June 9, 2016, 12:21:47 pm »

One of my favourite ever LFC players, hugely talented, physically and mentally tough and superb on the ball- a great pro, I wish him all the best

But unlikely:

"I'm the same quiet, private person as when I lived in Denmark and I can't imagine ever changing," Agger told the Daily Mail.

"I love playing, and I am enjoying being at Liverpool, but I don't like what goes with it.

"I know it probably sounds strange, but I have no real interest in football, aside from playing.

Should have been in his peak for a centre back at 31. Shame that, had the potential to be among the best centre backs in the world, and for a while at least, could count himself near that bracket. Never had the body / genetics?, luck for contact sport though, so many injuries...

Absolute pleasure watching him play for us, here's to a healthy life away from the game at least Danny.

Chig · « **Reply #3217 on:** June 9, 2016, 12:33:38 pm »

Injuriesssss rob him his career. Most elegant CB I have ever seen and an absolute legend for Liverpool. YNWA Daniel Agger

Fantastic player who was totally committed to the club. Enjoy the retirement!

sms1986 · « **Reply #3219 on:** June 9, 2016, 12:37:48 pm »

It's a shame that he's had to retire at only 31, but he was a great player and is a great person. Good luck to him!

clinical · « **Reply #3220 on:** June 9, 2016, 12:52:49 pm »

Why is he retiring so early? injuries?

Great player, and probably could have been even greater if not for his injuries.

Superb player. One of Liverpool's best-ever defenders. A joy to watch.

Little else need be said. He was Club Captain when we had a club full of Captains. Top Red.

A shame about Dagger. Had a lot of quality but injuries held him back - he should have won more with us

Shame to hear @DanielAgger has retired. One of the toughest defenders I have played against.Congratulations on a great career!

Ultimate Bromance · « **Reply #3226 on:** June 9, 2016, 01:13:41 pm »

Shame his body let him down at times, a man who truly understood what it meant to represent LFC. Class on and off the field.

jackh · « **Reply #3227 on:** June 9, 2016, 01:19:46 pm »

Real shame that injuries curtailed Daniel's career so much - a real high-quality member of the team whenever he had a run for us.

Both his quality and commitment will be long-remembered...encouragingly, we saw Lovren, Sakho, and Toure all demonstrate that standard during 2015/16, and here's hoping that Gomez and Matip can follow suit in the coming years too.

Can't help but think that, had things coincided a little differently, Agger and Klopp would have worked well together.

Here's hoping we see Agger supporting the Reds at Anfield once again in the coming season.

El Lobo · « **Reply #3228 on:** June 9, 2016, 01:21:37 pm »

Fucking awesome player.

Just ebayed one of my old shirts with his name on, sold yesterday. Kinda wish I'd waited a couple of days $:-\$

Happy retirement Dagger. Another player I'd bring back as an ambassador in an instant, see how he gets in with his coaching. He gets it.

It's a play on words, as 'sewers' in Danish is 'kloakker' which is pronounced the same was as Kloagger

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #3232 on:** June 9, 2016, 01:36:38 pm »

Feels rare in the modern age that someone can come in ar a young age and from an unheralded League yet just look like he belongs from the off.

The Chelsea goal, the Torres forearm, the strolling out from the back, telling a United player (Nani?) to "play fucking football" instead of diving around the place. A refreshing throwback and a thoroughly modern player at the same time.

I was fortunate to be at the Blackburn game on the 20th anniversary whether lashed in a screamer.

Have a long and happy well earned retirement Daniel!

Great player. Great guy. Said no to barca to stay with us didn't he.

Butcher Knife Roberto · « **Reply #3235 on:** June 9, 2016, 01:51:41 pm »

In a world of 18 year-old's wanting £100k a week, players diving around like fannies and ego's the size of a small planet, Dagger's humble nature stood him in good stead. It will continue to do so. A baby-faced assassin, looks like a hipster but is hard as fucking nails on the pitch. The Torres swipe alone was worth the admission fee.

Agger will sadly be filed under the 'what if...?' category, and 31 ain't an age for a footballer to be retiring, but he knows his body better than anyone else. A crying shame, but most kids aspiring to be pro's would kill for the career he's had. Amazing memories of that left peg, proper decent fella, hope he goes on to do other great things in his life.

A proper red, cheers Dan!

MazzaRed · « **Reply #3236 on:** June 9, 2016, 01:56:36 pm »

Loved him, very loyal. Gutted when he left.....thought Rafa was after him? Must have called time with all his injuries!
Good Luck lad....and come back & teach the kids how to defend!

thisyearisouryear · « **Reply #3237 on:** June 9, 2016, 02:02:31 pm »

One of my absolute favorite LFC players in recent times. Wish he could have been played more for us. Legend!

oojason · « **Reply #3238 on:** June 9, 2016, 02:25:02 pm »

Proper footballer who gave us some great memories, seemed a humble guy and with genuine affection for the club.

A shame he's had to retire at only 31 - but hope he enjoys his retirement.
