Carragher had an incredible career at Liverpool being involved in an incredible FA Cup final in 2006, which Steven Gerrard labelled one of his hardest matches, to that famous night in Istanbul where the Merseyside club claimed their fifth European Cup against AC Milan.
There were some phenomenal nights along the way to Turkey, with Liverpool’s win over Chelsea at Anfield being one of them.
Ahead of his final Merseyside derby in 2013, Carragher told Sky Sports that the semi-final contest against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea team was his favourite memory at Anfield.
“I’d say, I was defending that goal at the Kop end against Chelsea in the semi-final in 2005,” Carragher said when asked about his favourite memory at Anfield.

There would not have been many nights more special than this in Carragher’s career as Liverpool fans to this day still talk about the atmosphere at Anfield that night in 2005.
