I've been lurking in these forums for a long time and probably only posted once my entire time here since registering but i have to say something this time around bout our carra
In an era where people are being a bit touchy about `homegrown` players and lack of loyalty, honesty, class or even someone the fans can relate to and all that we should be lucky to have one of our own in Jamie Carragher. We're talking about a someone here who would run through brick walls and bleed RED for the cause of Liverpool FC!
Our Jamie's come through leaps and bounds since the Spiceboys era and no matter what's been thrown at him he'll always come back better than ever. People tend to take him for granted and i'd bet the same Reds will be praying for his return should he be unavailable for the team for a lengthy period of time. Did i mention he's also a decent player? World class even? At least to me anyway.
These comparisons of him with Maldini might be slightly off in terms of ability but i'd like to think that to LiverpoolFC, Carragher is a legend in his own right. So what if he's not rampaging up the field on a mazy dribble or surging down the wing a la Daniel Alves. As long as Carra goes on a bout his own business doing what he does best for us every week like he's done all his career we should all be supporting and giving him our very best in return. Maldini he may not be but for all those performances these last few years culminating in our recent successes like winning the treble and Istanbul, i think he's deserved it.
We all sing that we dream for a team of Carraghers! I'd like to think the football world would benefit more from having characters like our Jamie playing the game.
Jamie Carragher is a worldclass player who plays for the Mighty Reds. And as MLB pointed out correctly, he's also a Leg! Here's to Carra.
