Carra: I was close to tears
Jamie Carragher claims Liverpool's victory against Everton at Wembley ranks alongside some of his most famous triumphs in a red shirt including memorable wins in Istanbul and Cardiff.
Beating the Blues at the national stadium is something Carragher will always treasure and the Bootle-born defender admits he was overcome with emotion when the final whistle brought an end to a whirlwind 90 minutes.
"I was close to tears," he told the Liverpool Echo. "If we had lost that game I'm not sure if I would've recovered to be honest. This was probably the biggest derby I've ever played in. I've played in Champions League and FA Cup finals but this was up there because of who we were playing and because it was at Wembley."
During the post-match celebrations, Carragher and his captain Steven Gerrard took a moment to reflect on their side's ability to battle back from the brink of defeat.
And Carragher believes such a reluctance to capitulate in the face of adversity is a trait deeply ingrained on the psyche of the club.
"I said to Stevie, 'How many times have we done that?' When it's not looking well but we find a way to win. We've done it in the past and I think we'll always have that in the future. It's in the club's DNA.
"We put our supporters through it; we say that every time we have a big game.
"I don't think many big clubs have got it. Man United have got it, we have got it and it's just finding the way to win in those big moments. I don't know what it is, it's not something you can put your finger on but we have got it.
"You're losing 1-0 and you're trying to get a way back in. But we always find a way. You just keep going."
