#6 Jamie Carragher – Liverpool (1996-2013)
Trending
During the initial stages of his career, he was majorly used as a utility player operating as a centre-half, full-back, and defensive midfielder according to the team’s needs. After a slow start to his career, he made 44 appearances in the 1998-99 season and was named the club’s Player of the Year.
A major breakthrough came in the 2004-05 season when manager Rafael Benitez moved him to centre-half. He developed as a strong and positionally astute defender and made the centre-back position his own for the rest of his career.
Following his inspiring performances, he was named as the vice-captain in 2003. Didier Drogba named Carragher as the toughest opponent he had ever played against, owing to his aggressive nature.
His honours include two FA Cups, three League Cups, two FA Community shields and a Champions League title. He was also named in the PFA Team of the Year once and won Liverpool Player of the Year award thrice.
