Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher clocked 41 today, and encomium is being showered on the former defender all over social media.
Goal.com asked its followers where the former England international ranks amongst the best ever English Premier League defenders, and amidst the plenty answers, the birthday boy himself came up with his own ranking.

Carragher has joked that he’s the second best ever EPL defender, picking only Liverpool centre-back Virgil Van Dijk ahead of himself.
2nd behind VVD!

It’s surely a claim Liverpool fans will like given how influential the Dutch defender has been since arriving Anfield a year ago.
Since his record-breaking £75million move from Southampton last January, the 27-year-old has played 51 games across all competitions for Liverpool.
The Reds have won 34 of those games, drawn seven and lost 10.
They have conceded just 44 times and kept 24 clean sheets to highlight how important Van Dijk has been to the Merseyside outfit.
