Dirk Kuyt Brands Liverpool Team-Mate Jamie Carragher An Absolute Football Nut

Dirk Kuyt is in awe of how much Jamie Carragher knows about football and says that his obsession with the game borders on a sickness.

Many feel the Reds' defensive stalwart has future football manager written all over him and recent comments made by his Dutch team-mate only reinforce that notion.

"I think Carra knows everything – not only about Liverpool but about football in general. He eats and sleeps football and watches it every day, so he knows everything about the club," Kuyt told liverpoolfc.tv.

"He's always shouting at people and telling them what to do on the pitch – it seems like you can hear him from everywhere. Sometimes he's so loud you just have to laugh about it."

While promoting his autobiography last year, Carragher strongly hinted of his future plans by confessing his belief that winning the league as a manager would be more fulfilling than doing so as a player, and that he someday dreams of beating Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson at his own game.

"It would be more of an achievement as manager because it would come about through my decisions," he told the Daily Mail at the time.

"It's like the ultimate football man's dream to be better than Ferguson because he is the master.

"I just hope he hangs around long enough to wait for me."
