The Basque club spotlights single‑team careers to reinforce its loyalty‑centered identity.

Overview

  • Carragher was honored on Tuesday before Athletic’s LaLiga match against Girona, receiving a standing ovation along with a signed Bilbao shirt and a small trophy.
  • The former Liverpool defender said that, after winning the Champions League, being a one‑club man is the biggest achievement of his career.
  • Carragher spent his entire professional career at Liverpool, debuting in 1997 and retiring in 2013 after 737 appearances, second only to Ian Callaghan in club history.
  • Athletic created the One Club Man award in 2015 to recognize lifetime loyalty, with past recipients including Paolo Maldini, Carles Puyol and Ryan Giggs.
