Jamie Carragher will equal Ian Callaghan's European appearance record when he takes to the field at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night.Carragher will equal Callaghan's club record of 89 European appearances for Liverpool if selected against for the Champions League semi-final first leg tie against Chelsea. It's a record Anfield legend Callaghan is proud to share with Carragher, a player he holds the highest regard for. "I am really pleased for Jamie, I really am and I am glad the record will go to someone like him as he is a great lad and a true gentleman," said Cally. "He is a prime example of a Liverpool player who gives his all week in, week out in every competition. There is every chance he will go past 100 games in Europe next season. That just shows us how consistent he is. "He is Mr Reliable and must be the first name on the teamsheet every week. He is a great player. "It's more than just the number of games he's been involved in. Look at the quality of his performances too. "Just recently we have seen again against Barcelona in this year's competition just how important he is, just as he was in Istanbul. Performances like that come from years of playing in Europe and Jamie is now one of the best defenders at that level."
