Official Liverpool FC thread Vol 5 - "Next Year Is Our Year"
Discussion
Although the Liverpool statement announcing Carragher's retirement said he will leave the club at the end of the season, Reds managing director Ian Ayre hinted the player may still be given a future role with the club.
"Everyone within the game knows that Jamie has been a colossal figure for Liverpool," said Ayre. "You don't have a career spanning three decades at the very top of this game unless you are an exceptional player and he epitomises the values this club was built on and continues to stand for.
"In line with Jamie's wishes we will wait until the season concludes before giving him the true recognition he deserves. We will also wait until that time to comment further regarding what involvement he may have with the club going forward."

One club players will soon be a thing of the past.
Never the most gifted of players but you'd bet your life he would give you 100% everytime he pulled on the shirt.
Thank you #23.
Great player. Heart and soul as already said every time he pulled the shirt on. He was a great defender and even now isn't as bad as some make out. Never the most gifted of players but you'd bet your life he would give you 100% everytime he pulled on the shirt.
Thank you #23.
Why has he announced it now?
I have no respect for the man. Anyone who would rather play , and win, for their club than their country isn't worth bothering with in my book. From a club point of view I have to admit he was a consummate professional, like Scholes he has managed to keep himself to himself.
He'll only ever be remembered by the Liverpool fans.

So much fail.
So, you haven't read his autobiography then ?Haven't I already stated it ? He has been quite open ( ie it's in print ) that he never really cared as much for his country than he did for his club. How much clearer would you like me to be ?

And I'm sure he was the first and last footballer to miss an international friendly through "injury" because his club had an important match coming up!
