The 32-year-old went past fellow centre-back and former Reds captain Alan Hansen after starting in Thursday's Europa League quarter-final first leg. Barring injury, should Liverpool get past Benfica over two legs, Carragher is likely to overtake goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar before the end of the season. Current goalkeeper Jose Reina made his 250th appearance, having kept 122 clean sheets in his Reds career so far. Liverpool's all-time appearances: 1 Ian Callaghan 857; 2 Ray Clemence 665; 3 Emlyn Hughes 665; 4 Ian Rush 660; 5 Phil Neal 650; 6 Tommy Smith 638; 7 Bruce Grobbelaar 628; 8 Jamie Carragher 621; 9 Alan Hansen 620; 10 Chris Lawler 549.
