If Jamie Carragher makes four more appearances for Liverpool,He will be 2nd in the overall appearance record.He is currently on 662 appearances,behind Emlyn Hughes and Ray Clemence on 665 appearances.He will then only be behind Ian Callaghan who made 857 appearances.
Yeah but look at the team that Carragher for years played in.Okay Carragher didn't play with more alcoholics that can be found down a back alley.However Robson himself had a drink problem.He was the only alcoholic that Ferguson didn't chuck out.
Damn right. People talk about Giggs and how well he's done to play 860 games, but he has the benefit of modern nutrition and hydrotherapy and fitness training and so on. Players like Callaghan and Charlton who played over 800 games back before anyone knew what a complex carbohydrate was are true heroes
Swarbs excellent comment. Ian Callaghan was the only player to emerge from Liverpools 2nd division title winning team in 1962 to the one that won the European Cup in 1977.He actually succeeded his hero Billy Liddell in the Liverpool team in 1961.He was booked once.Shanks gave his dad ã10 so he wouldn't join Everton,there was little chance of the boyhood red however joining Everton.
