Title: Retiring Carragher Reveals Title Regret
Post by: Folami David on May 16, 2013, 12:01 PM
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher admits his only regret as he prepares to retire is the club's failure to win the Premier League during his 16-year spell with the Reds.
.
Carragher, 35, will say farewell to Liverpool on Sunday when he plays the 737th and final match of his career against QPR at Anfield.
.
The Merseyside-born star is sure to be given a rousing send-off by the Kop after an illustrious one- club career which included winning the Champions League in 2005 and the FA Cup a year later.
.
Carragher, who won 38 caps for England and played in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, also helped Liverpool land a treble of FA Cup, League Cup and Uefa Cup in 2001, but he never tasted glory in the Premier League.
.
The closest he came was in 2008-09 when Liverpool lost just two matches, but still finished as runners up behind Manchester United.
.
"I wish I'd have won the league but you've given it everything and done as much as you can in terms of what you put into it," Carragher said on Wednesday.
.
"We weren't good enough, all of us. It's very simple, there's no fancy reason or excuse, other teams in that particular season were better than us.
.
"A couple of times we went close but it was Manchester United or Arsenal.
.
"It's not something I lose sleep over, I've been very lucky to achieve some of the things I have.
.
"If you look at everyone there's always something someone hasn't done.
.
"If someone had offered me to be here until the end of my career - the trophies, the big games we've played and won, the stadiums I've played in - I'd have bitten their hand off for that."

It is all his fault because he could've left the club for a better one. Liverpool is not the best place for a quality player like him.
