Jamie Carragher believes fellow Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia is an Anfield legend and has hailed his consistency.
The Finland international has made 18 appearances for the Reds this season.
“Sami’s been here nearly 10 years now and has always played a large portion of the season, hardly ever missing a game,” said Carragher.
“He rarely has a bad one either – and even on the times when he does, he never allows it to affect his form.
“He’s had his critics on a couple of occasions, but has always had the character to come through those periods.
“Top players always bounce back when they have suffered a knock – and Sami is one of those players. He is a legend.”

True legend! Cool and neat player. I always wished he could continue until the age of 36 like Tony Adams!
Has really made us proud supporters down the years alongside Henchoz.
yup, agree without a doubt.
HE is a LEGEND
he is not better than jaap stam or rio ferdinand… old sami can even run or catch up with ronaldo… liverpool fans are pathetic sorry liverFOOLs hahaha
yo dickhead manu4life => who do u think u r… actually don’t answer coz i noe it… ur a gay fucking jodaki and a loser from the manchester slums, who shags his brother, sister, dad and mom all day, and da dead bodies from munich disaster. I don’t care if i diss u or ur fucking family, coz as i told ROONEY… my connection run real deep. Ur not aware of bloods, crips or almighty vice lords are you??? they’re the 3 most notorious gangs in da US. oh yeh, u can diss me, the dead from hillsborough or my family if u want, coz it won’t affect. i’m kool wiv that, it proves ur gayness coz ur making silly comment on a LFC site – wot a fucking sadcase…
Oh yeh dude, Almighty Vice Lords, i’m still part of them, so keep that in mind. I’m not a killer but i do noe some. Herd of Suge Knight??? look him up on google if u have to…
Ferdinand is incredibly dodgy, as was Vidic against us (twice). It shows that when Man U come up against a team that can match them they fold.
Oh and by the way, Vidic couldn’t keep up with Gerrard and so BROUGHT HIM DOWN.
You manc little cheats!
no doubt about that!!
he also deserves a testimonial match as well, what’re you waiting for Rafa!!
how dum are u guys!!! the looser doesn’t even play for the team alot
Sami is a TRUE LEGEND! He has always put in his best for the Team.
All Credit to Sami for forming a world strong defence for LFC.
YNWA
ps. Looney, how pathetic you don’t have a club page to fcuk about. Manure loser!
Too well said CheongSter, I almost died laughing right there. Get a life Looney!
Btw do hope Sami manages to pass on all his dedication and great qualities to Agger & Skrtel before moving to youth coach. our best is yet to be seen
Rooney likes to comment he is just jealous because Hyypia is better looking 1 English guy i dont like is you Rooney ugly minger
ROONEY u fuckin shrek look alike, i wouldnt even give you a bang of a baseball bat your that ugly you fat cunt..
What a fucking looser.
I wish some admins could ban that fat ass from this site altogether.
Sami is a legend!
okay then if he is legand, why isn’t he playing? i only see caragher and skirtl playing every game?
Sami is just pure Quality!
Enough said! :)
10 yr testimonial comin up n hope u stay on as defensive coach YNWA ;0)
superb defender since the like of phil thompson n alan hansen..
THIS ROONEY GUY SHOULD BE STRANGLED
Rooney, you should walk away from the Computer. Just get yourself something to do… don’t be such a sore loser!
We feel sorry for you…and your parents!
They are nice people but have given birth to a such a motherfucker !
One word LEDGEND
Rooney, you’re so so so stupid! Being a legend doesn’t mean he has to play every match! I’m sure you rate Giggs and Scholes as legends too but are they playing week in week out? Get your facts right!
It’s about contribution to the club. Sami did very very well for his age. he may be slow compared to others but his positioning, calmness and reading of the game is almost perfect!
To last 10 years and hopefully a few more is incredible!
He’s a LEGEND!
@ronaldotheactor -> u said it right, this is the real offer for rooney, hey rooneybitch is ur mum ok, the last time she said to me it was a little bit hard, but i think she like it this way, next time she will get it even harder…
To all mancs -> Piss off, fuck off and get out of this site, ur familys will burn and we will sing: The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire…
To all LFC fans -> THE LIVERPOOL BOYS ARE IN TOWN, WE ARE THE GREATEST CLUB ON EARTH, TO DIE FOR LIVERPOOL, !!!YNWA!!!
Rooney, you’re so so so stupid! Being a legend doesn’t mean he has to play every match! I’m sure you rate Giggs and Scholes as legends too but are they playing week in week out? Get your facts right!
Manu4life, you may be right. Sami might not have the speed to catch Ronaldo coz Ronaldo always dive. The ref will catch him for Sami!

He’s a LEGEND! You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Awesomeness
One word to describe Hyppia
Hey looney remember the thrashing that manure received?!!! Sami were terrific & steady whereas vidic & ferdinand fumbled! Both got owned by el nino in back of his pocket now can you dig that fucker!
i think carrag is right
Sami Hyppia, a loyal servant of Liverpool Football Club. Someone who gives his all to the club and team.
If he is not a legend, then who is?
Sami Hyppia is definitely up there with all the true legends of LFC.
SAMI HYPPIA. you’ll always be part of this club. you’ll always remember the great times u had. you’ll always remember the great goals u scored. you’ll always remember the players you’ve played with. you’ll always remember the trophies you’ve won. but one thing is for sure……you’ll never walk alone
Best of luck to u Big Sam
Your a hero, and one of the best defenders in the world
but one thing is for sure
You’ll never be forgotten
and your a LEGEND
p.s Rooney is a faggot and so are the other mancs
