Easily my favourite legend in terms of passion, personality and how humble he has been to the club. I think its well deserved. Now all he needs to do is pass the torch on so to speak and guide young defenders like Wisdom and Coates on the right path and help them become better players. The trouble is, Carragher was never a good player in the first place so he has nothing to pass on. His entire game was based on heart & commitment.....2 things which cannot be coached.

ah carheex you must be joking. what about his timing with tackles? his reading of the game?
Luis Garcia, He drinks sangria
He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.

His entire game was based on heart & commitment.....2 things which cannot be coached. yep have to agree with that, he was a stopper nothing more nothing less bit like Henchoz, none were blessed with natural footballing ability in the way Agger and Big Sami were. I would just like to add a bit on that if I may, you mention Heart and Commitment, well for me I have never seen them as qualities for any Liverpool Player I expect them to already possess them before they even set foot on a pitch, the players I grew up watching like Cally, Jimmy Case and even Joey Jones who was never the greatest all had that in abundance...

carraghers an interesting one i think he started as a pure stopper but learned / improved as time went on and was still improving at 28, excellent timing of tackles and therefore reading of game (as he got older and slower); only weakness, distribution
