Carragher to Retire
- Thread starter McGrathsipan
- Start date
A rare Liverpool player, who isn't in fact an absolute cnut.
Respect to the man.

Unfortunately, my last memory of him will be of a man, who injured Nani. Nani hasn't been the same since.
He looked out of his depth in the last few times I saw him. Respect to anyone who realizes it's time and calls it quits. If he wanted he could have milked another contract or two out of 'Pool.

the lad with speech disorder 
yeah, respect. Liverpool legend.

He actually never has a bad word to say about United in his interviews. Always respect our club, history and recognises the healthy rivalry between the 2 clubs. Abit of a cnut though when he man-handled Nani with that tackle
Cue the Scousers asking for EVERY club in England to retire his number in honor of him.
Interesting. Sounds like a right twat.
Met him one night outside Manhattan's in Southport with Dominic Matteo. They were both hammered and Carragher was in the reserves/youth team at the time. He was absolutely full of himself and Matteo was an absolute gent, even though he could barely stand. Imagine the scene: my mates (all Liverpool fans) firing questions at Matteo (a first team player), him smiling and answering cordially, Carragher acting like he was Kenny Dalglish (he sort of was, being pissed out of his head), even though nobody knew who he was, and me accosting Matteo, telling him my wee brother (playing for United's youth team in N. Ireland at the time) would "fecking skin you alive, even with a 10 yard head start". We all parted company, with even my scouse mates asking "Who the feck was that cnut with Matteo?"
That being said, several other people I know have met Carragher and said he was a great guy, very humble and down to earth.
First impressions last, though, eh?

I'd forgotten David Thompson even existed.
I once threw a tin of Big Soup at him in Southport when I lived there. Also kicked Gerrard up the arse outside a nightclub (can't remember the name of the club now) It was a long time ago
You blame the cut leg for this?
No, I don't. It's a mere coincidence.
Good riddance Carragher you cnut
Did he trap it? Or did he just let it bounce off his chest?
I believe this was how Shankly rated potential signings.
is that official?
couldnt be, thats worse than Keane admitting he went out to Do Alf Haaland and he got into trouble!
I opened the tin and threw it in his car as he was driving around Southport, acting the billy big bollocks in his convertable.
How did you like the tin of beef broth or whatever it was all over your dashboard, you whiny cnut? That fecking told him.

Cost me 78p I think.
Fair play to em great servant to liverpool over the years, probably should have hung up the boots around the same time as Nev.
Hopefully he becomes a pundit, he knows a hell of alot more than Redknapp.
Will also be hilarious seeing him sitting beside Gaz when we play the pool

Console yourself with the fact that it was probably worth every penny.Cost me 78p I think.
Say what you want about him but he will have a long legacy as the purplest man to ever play the game.
Tbf, I think it would have been very hard to trap it in that situation.
And, er, were you just randomly walking around Southport with a tin of soup and a tin opener?
Jibes aside, a top top professional who punched above his weight by sheer force of personality.
Deeply admire his passion and commitment for his boyhood team and a credit to Liverpool FC.
Can retire a satisfied man, albeit without a League medal to show for all is blood, sweat and hard work.
Liverpool were lucky to have him and will miss him.

It was from his autobiography, it was published in 1 of the papers years ago when it came out. It's a right scumbag thing to admit if it's true, especially as he's put on a pedestal as being this "honest" footballer, comes across as a cnut, the tackle was horrible but them quotes really don't put him in a good light, no doubt they will now be brushed under the carpet though.
He was a good player, never outstanding but good all the same and like people have said fair play to him for being a 1 man club (but realistically he'd never get a better club than Liverpool anyway so there was no incentive to leave.)
If he does go in to punditary I always thought he was ok at ITV, bit hard to understand but once you got used to it he was better than most the other shite you get on TV at the moment.
Badunk - I had just done a bit of shopping and was walking to the car when he drove past. The tin was a ring pull
Hate the bloke, hope he gets bored, takes up gambling and ends up in debt and depression. Hated him back in the day, hate him now. At least i'm consistent.
Football will be a better sport without his kind.

You are right though. One late tackle and Nani is a wreck. A shell of his former self. Says it all for me.
Btw, the Liverpool Facebook page is full of hilarity right now.
Let me guess Beckenbauer had nothing on Carra?
cnut and a massively overrated player 'cos he made brilliant last ditch tackles'
I forgot he even existed.
To be fair, keano's autobiography didn't paint him as an angel either.
But hmm...the fact that carra even contemplated going ahead to thump neill, and the fact that he has such thug friends in the first place, i don't know.
But then, hard to judge, must have been angry to have your leg broken by a bad tackle. Not that he didn't do nani in his time, either.
All in all, had a good career, a good pro, but that extract from his bio makes him look a bit thuggish and really, he shouldn't have made that tackle on nani - i'd like to say it was mistimed because, benefit of the doubt, i haven't seen much evidence of him being 'that type of player' much throughout his career.
Good luck carra.
After reading that segment from his biography and the tackle he did on Nani, not to mention he's a scouse cnut who probably hates us with a passion I have nothing positive to say about him.
Great servant for Liverpool, a little sad to see him go
They could probably get another 2-3 years out of him if they changed around i the formations a bit. Perhaps a 6-3-1 with two defensive minded midfielders.
He's a shithouse scouse little prick. feck off.
