Players like Jamie Carragher don't come along very often, nor do people, human beings like Jamie Carragher come along all that often either! For me as a football fan an a Liverpool fan Jamie's last game tomorrow is not only a sad event but a great loss to football and to Liverpool football club. This is my little tribute to one of our greatest ever players:
JAMIE
If you're wondering why I'm grieving so, Jamie,
It's because my heart is full of woe,
Since all too soon you're bound to go,
and reap your fame!
And many's the tear will freely fall, Jamie,
For your last game!
But there naught that you need now atone, Jamie,
For you've made the defensive game your own,
To play with courage, heart, brain and bone,
And became our warrior!
For which deed you'll never walk alone, Jamie,
Because you are Jamie Carragher!
And your fame will linger, and linger long, Jamie,
With all of our Liverpool lore and song,
Because you stood stout and you stood strong,
at the heart of our defense;
Such a giant among the playing throng, Jamie,
And you have been immense!
