Liverpool boss Dalglish: Carragher fantastic servant for club

Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is delighted seeing Jamie Carragher about to knock off another record.

The 33-year-old will play his 665th game in Liverpool colours against Newcastle on Sunday - putting him level second with Emlyn Hughes and Ray Clemence in the club's all-time appearance table.

He will then set about catching Ian Callaghan on 857.

And Dalglish told Liverpoolfc.tv: "Carra has been a fantastic servant to this football club. I don't know how far short he is from Cally's record - I think he's got a wee while to go before he reaches that, but he's been great.

"He's filled in loyally and comfortably in many positions for the football club and he's someone who has been very pleased to be associated with Liverpool - and we're pleased to be associated with him.

"He's been a real compliment to this football club.

"Talent is a good starting point, starting in the first team at 18 is another good starting point and not picking up too many injuries helps, but the most important thing is his ability and his desire and commitment to this football club.

"His record speaks for itself."
