Ferguson:
Jamie is absolutely a player I admire. He’s the epitome of a loyal, dedicated player who Liverpool have been lucky to have for more than a decade.
He’s been a bedrock of their defensive qualities for years and years. I loved him. Jamie's is a fantastic example for any young lad that wants to play the game.
He’s been a really, really good professional. He’s absolutely the type of player a manager wants. I used to rave about Brucie [Steve Bruce] and the nine years he had with us, and I think Jamie Carragher is that exact same mould - can play with injuries, gets knocked about and gets back up, hardly misses a game.
You’re lucky to have players like that. I was lucky to have Steve Bruce and Jamie is the same type of player. A fantastic player.

It’s a massive loss to Liverpool. You’ve got him, Steven Gerrard and then the likes of me, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, who have all been one-club players.
We’ve seen so many changes within our clubs. But it’s not only Carragher’s influence on the pitch [that will be missed], I’m sure he has a massive influence off it as well.
An influence on how the club and how the dressing room should be run and the traditions and the history of the club. You pass these things down to the young payers who are coming through and the foreign players who come in.
I’m sure Jamie has been a massive influence, both on and off the pitch. That will be greatly missed by Liverpool.
