Reds skipper Steven Gerrard entered the club's all-time Top 15 for number of games played when he turned out against Aston Villa at Anfield last month. This was his 477th game for Liverpool, although this is ninety behind Jamie Carragher, our most experienced current player who is ranked ninth. Sami Hyypiä is just fourteen games behind our skipper in this list.
The 28-year old Huyton-born lad signed on as a pro in 1997, and is currently contracted with the club until 2011. He has so far bagged an impressive 117 goals in his 477 appearances, and he is just one strike short of moving up a place in our list of record goalscorers to twelfth. His 477 games are made up of 328 in the Premiership, exactly a century in Europe, 26 FA Cup, nineteen in the League Cup and two each in the FA Charity/Community Shield and FIFA Club World Championship.
Gerrard's 477th game drew him level with Phil Thompson. He helped us to claim two European Cups, seven League titles, the UEFA Cup, FA Cup, UEFA Super Cup, two League Cups and five FA Charity Shields, lifting several of these as skipper. He later had two separate spells on the backroom staff, under Kenny Dalglish, Graeme Souness and Gérard Houllier, and is now working in the media. It will take a further 72 games before Stevie can break into the club's all-time Top 10 appearance holders, and he 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. Next in his sights is our record goalscorer in the League, Roger Hunt, who turned out on 492 occasions in total for the club.
