Liverpool icon Kenny Dalglish says Jamie Carragher deserves today's testimonial.
A whole host of Kop legends and football personalities have queued up to pay homage to Carragher ahead of the event - and Dalglish is the latest to extol the virtues of the No.23.
"There are not very many testimonials given out in this day and age," he told Liverpoolfc.tv. "For Jamie Carragher, it's very well deserved.
"It's a great opportunity for everyone to turn up and thank him for the service he's given Liverpool Football Club, which has been absolutely outstanding.
"Since the age of 18, he's been in the first team almost continuously. He fully deserves it and everything that comes in is going to good causes in and around the Merseyside area, which is further testimony to Jamie as a person, not just as a footballer.
"He's a good guy and cares about the people of Liverpool, and is also somebody who realises he's been more fortunate than others. He wants to put something back to help others and cannot do anything but admire him for that."
