Jamie Carragher, the reds' current longest serving player, is set to move up one place for number of games played in all competitions for the club into our all-time top ten, assuming he turns out against PSV Eindhoven at Anfield on Wednesday. This will be his 534th game for Liverpool - more than eighty outings ahead of his nearest current challengers, his sometime central defensive partner Sami Hyypiä (on 448 games) and skipper Steven Gerrard (447).

Jamie signed on as a pro in September 1996, and is currently contracted with the club until 2011. His 533 games to date include 366 in the Premiership, 107 in European competition, 29 in the FA Cup, 27 in the League Cup and two each in the World Club Championship and FA Charity Shield. In all that time he has bagged just five goals. He has so far helped the club to claim the Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup, two UEFA Super Cups, two League Cups and two FA Charity/Community Shields.

Carra's 534th game will draw him level with the legendary Billy Liddell in tenth place in the club's all-time appearance ranking. Liddell joined the reds in July 1938 while still only sixteen, and left the club 23 years later, having struck 228 times in 534 games. His only club honour was the League title in 1947, although he also played in the FA Cup Final three years later. He would undoubtedly have featured much higher up the list were it not for the intervention of the Second World War.

It will only take a further fifteen reds games before the thirty-year old Bootle lad can move up another place in the club's all-time Top 10 appearance holders, although Carra would then still be more than 300 games behind Ian Callaghan, who is likely to forever remain the Liverpool player who tops the appearance charts.
