http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/drilldown/N158403080114-1242.htm


Rafael Benitez today confirmed Jamie Carragher will captain Liverpool on his 500th appearance for the club against Luton Town tomorrow night.
Carragher, who will see his landmark achievement recognised by the club before the game, will wear the skipper's armband following a special request from regular captain Steven Gerrard.
 
"Jamie will play tomorrow night," said Benitez. "I was talking with Steven Gerrard and he said to me that whether he is in the team or not, Jamie should be the captain. So Carra will captain the side."


wow, 500th game, does anyone reckon he could beat the clubs record appearance

Great news. Happy to see Stevie and Rafa combine to make such a decision, great respect to the great man that is carra.

Good decision, would like to see our strongest team, but could this not be in the match thread seeing as it is related?

This is about Carra, not the team. So i suppose it can be left alone. He has been a great servent to the club and deserves this. Well done Jamie, keep goin son.

if anyone could beat it Carra would be the one but realistially Ian Callaghans record will never be broke

Im 50/50 on if maybe Carra could match or even break his record, would be a great achievement tho. Aslong as he looks after himself fitness wise, he will get close to the record.

just what Jamie deserves. has been outstanding for a long time. Steve mclaren was a right plonker leaving him out of the england central defense. By far the best English defender.

Yeah, you had to be blind, or listening on the radio to actually believe that Britney Spears look-a-like scored (no offense Britney)

I think stevie may well be able to beat it actually.

I deffo think he will get to Carra"s landmark of 500 games.

Good decision! Carragher's a true Red and a cracking example of a footy player!

Hope he can go on to break the record. He's a legend and has done so much for this club. He deserves to be up there at the top!

Indubidoubly.

Nice gesture from Gerrard. Hopefully Carragher might get a goal for us tomorrow to mark a special occasion for himself.

Anyone reckon he'll b****ck Gerrard at some point?  

Stick Carra upfront with Torres, Carra will prob score a hatrick, considering Luton has lost some of there players aswell he would have a great chance of scoring. maybe show Riise on how to hit the target aswell.

That's a great decision. Happy 500th almost Carra!

Yeah stick him up front, that'd be great craic to watch maybe!

Well we may just find that missing link up front im thinking.
