Liverpool starlet Jonjo Shelvey has revealed it was a "great honour" to play at Anfield for the first time in Jamie Carragher's testimonial.
Shelvey, 18, featured as the club celebrated the career of its veteran defender last weekend. While Carragher can boast a 20-year affiliation with the Reds, the ex-Charlton Athletic man is only just starting to make his mark since arriving this summer.
Speaking to Liverpool's official website, he revealed his pride at making his bow at the famous stadium.
"It was a great honour to play at Anfield in Jamie Carragher's testimonial. I'll be getting the shirt I wore on the day framed," Shelvey stated.
"You hear about the crowd and I've sat in the directors' box for a few games, but to actually be out there on the pitch, hearing the Kop - it's something that words can't describe. It is an unreal experience."
