A player from our history
Philipp Degen
Very few had heard of Phillipp Degen before he signed for Liverpool and even fewer after he had left. The right-back won the league title two years in succession in his homeland with Basel before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2005.

Kop Quote
Ian Callaghan hails Jamie Carragher's achievement of 500 games for Liverpool"I don't know if he'll ever beat my record. He's got 357 games to go, so it would take some doing. We'll have to wait and see but if anyone is going to do it, I'd love it to be him.

He's been the backbone of the team for countless years now and will be remembered in the future as a great player for Liverpool."
