Carra keen to meet old friends on Legends duty
It is a combination of putting his boots back on and meeting up with some old friends that excites Jamie Carragher most about Liverpool FC Legends' trip to Sydney in January.
The former Anfield centre-back is part of a star-studded Reds squad heading out to Australia next month, including Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush, Luis Garcia and many more.
Managed by Gerard Houllier, they’ll be taking on the Australian Legends at the ANZ Stadium on Thursday January 7 – with tickets available to purchase online now.
Carragher is keenly anticipating a chance to represent Liverpool once again, especially as it comes with the opportunity to catch up with familiar faces from his career.
He said on LFCTV’s Thursday Night Show: “It’s great to be with the lads. We’ve played in a couple of games, one with Real Madrid in the summer.
“You all want to put your boots on again but you don’t move or play as well as you think you’re going to do in your head beforehand!
“But as much as getting the boots back on is meeting up with the lads, because when you stop playing everyone does their own thing and is involved in different things.
“So it’s nice to get together two or three times a year, put the boots back on and have a good craic with the lads.”
