Never one to shy away from a challenge. Legend till the end. Shame that you'll never grab your PL winner's medal but there is only you and Gerrard out of them all that deserve it the most.
Hope to see you on the coaching staff.
"Literally I think the best article I have ever read on this website! What a hero Carra is and i hope he continues to stay part of the club and can push us up towards fourth, who knows maybe we can win the Europa League and Carra can leave his legacy with just one more winners medal! YNWA."
"Join the coaching staff Carra, and help the Rodgers Revolution lead us back to the top; you'll get your Premier League medal and there isn't a fan in the country that would question the validity of you having it."
"I often worry to myself about Liverpool without Stevie and Jamie. Its hard to comprehend that one of them is retiring from playing. He must stay at the club in some capacity its LFC red blood coursing through his veins and he is an inspiration to all"
"Carra our legend, warrior, lfc defence stronghold! You have done your part to make lfc one of the best club in the world. I will always remember your fearless interceptions at Istanbul 2005. You are that reflection of the promising future, created for a special mission. A paragon of excellence without regression. Keep moving"
"True legend. I couldn't help but shed a tear for such loss. As I grew up watching him, he is all that I truly know about Liverpool, the rest are folklores. The spirit to battle on, the believe to move on, and that I will never walk alone. YNWA Jamie, forever Legend!"
"Extraordinary Carra! I will never be capable to forget the Istanbul night and the way Carra performed in that heroic stage! What a incredible memory! Of the 10 anectodes suggested this is that which I like to remember most! Again YNWA Carra"
"That night in Istanbul (let's not mention the first half!) Carra was Shankly-Paisley-Yeats-Smith all rolled into one. In 50 years I'll be talking about Carra's performance. And I was at Anfield for the Villa goal too. Carra, we may never see anyone in red quite like you again. A true legend, a colossal. YNWA - and I do dream of a team of Carraghers! "
"I knew it would have to happen one day, but this news has made me feel physically sick.... Liverpool without Carra is unthinkable !!! You have been massive for our club & I hope that you will still be part of it for years to come. Atur Liverpool legend & always will be YNWA xxx"
"created this account just to say this JAMIE U ARE A LEGEND LFC FOR LIFE!!! THANKS FOR ALL OF HE YEARS, BLOOD, SWEAT AND COMMITMENT!!! U ARE LIVERPOOL!"
"I am not ashamed to say that I just shed few tears, will really really miss him. Legend is a word people just through around to every one now days. But he is one who deserves it more thn anyone who played in last 15 years. Another message I want to give to Carragher, the wait on my part started to see next generation of Carragher to come and serve Liverpool. By this I mean your SON"
"Excellent article about an excellent player. Remember the stretches in Istanbul and can only imagine what it was like-I still can't believe he managed to walk about afterwards! Gave 100.00% and won us the cup as much as the goals and Dudek saves.
1 CL, 2 FA cups, 3 League cups and 1(to be 2)Euro cups and millions of memories and cheers! "
"If it were medals alone that made Carra the Collosuss he became then he would be as shallow a player and a man as that shower at the other end of the East Lancs Road.
Carra rides off into the sunset like the living Legend he is to all of us!!
YNWA Great One!!! "
"Our Academy produced Carra, Stevie G, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Michael Owen, more will arise to carry the Flag. Andre Wisdom, Martin Kelly, Raheem 'The Dream' Sterling, Connor Coady, Adam Morgan, Jack Robinson, Flanno, Suso, Ryan McLaughlin, list goes on etc etc Not to mention Carra MKII Jnr!!!! "
"Carra epitomized what LFC is all about, greatness and legendary qualities that inspire and enthral people, that Instanbul 'Never say die' courage and commitment, that refusal to lie down or surrender, the determination to refuse to be beaten, even when the odds are overwhelming.....That's Carra!!!"
"I hope you the best, you really really will never walk alone because you're a legend not only as a player as a person.
We all dream of the Jamie Carragher
A twentythree Carragher, Carragher
thanks Garra"
"There IS'NT a better defender out there who can replace the vacant 23 worn by Carragher when he retires? Coz nobody out there now can fill the boots left by Carragher!!! SUCH A SHAME HE'S RETIRING.. A true Liverpool legend just like his Scouse counterpart STEVIE G.. You'll Never Walk Alone"
