Michael Owen to play for Liverpool in Jamie Carragher's testimonial http://www.footytube.com/news/guard...ool-in-jamie-carraghers-testimonial-366121485 Michael Owen is to pull on the colours of Liverpool for the first time since leaving the club six years ago after agreeing to brave a potential backlash from Manchester United's supporters by playing for his old team in Jamie Carragher's testimonial match. Owen, reviled by some Liverpool fans after crossing one of the game's oldest divides, is said to be uncertain of the reaction he will get from the Anfield crowd but does not have great expectations considering the abuse when he returned last season for the first time since joining their rivals at Old Trafford. The former England striker has given his word to Carragher, however, that he will play in the match at Anfield on Saturday week, swapping the red of United for that of the team where he began his career. Sir Alex Ferguson, the United manager, has given him permission to play for 45 minutes and Owen will be in attack for a Liverpool XI taking on an Everton XI. Carragher has also persuaded Jamie Redknapp, Danny Murphy, Jason McAteer and Emile Heskey to play, but he had told Owen he would understand if he thought it was too delicate for him politically bearing in mind the rivalry between Liverpool and United. There is also the distinct possibility that United's fans will not be too impressed about one of their players being willing to wear a Liverpool shirt, especially with their first encounter of the season to follow only two weekends later. Owen, though, regards Carragher as one of his closest friends in football and the organisers hope the goodwill felt towards the long-serving Liverpool defender will persuade the Anfield crowd to go easy on their former player and maybe even demonstrate some warmth and appreciation for a man who scored over 200 goals for the club in eight years and has been described by Steven Gerrard as "the best striker in the history of Liverpool Football Club." Nonetheless, it is understood Owen will be given his own security on his way to and from the stadium. Don't know how to feel about this but it's Carra's day & this should'nt overshadow it.
Well the guy has got some balls! Fair play to him to do that for Carra's testimonial, I'm sure it would have been a lot easier to say no.

Paul Konchesky has revealed he will make his Liverpool debut in Jamie Carragher's testimonial against Everton on Saturday. The former Fulham defender was Roy Hodgson's final signing before the end of the transfer deadline, and he is looking forward to stepping out at Anfield in a red shirt for the first time. "I am looking forward to playing in Jamie's testimonial and it will be a great day for him," Konchesky told Liverpoolfc.tv. "It will be nice to play in front of the Kop as a Liverpool player for the first time and it will help me get used to it and I can just go out and enjoy it." Liverpool's new No.3 also spoke of his admiration for Carragher and how much he is looking forward to playing alongside him. "I've got a lot of respect for Jamie and what he's achieved at this club," he added. "He has been at Liverpool for a long while. For someone to do that, especially at this great club, you've got to have something about you. "He's a great character and he is also someone you can look up to. "If ever you need someone to look to and get advice then you should look up to Jamie. He's a great professional and he does everything how it should be done."
I cannot wait til Saturday Jamie C is the biggest legend. Great news we'll see Konchesky out there too. Going over with one of the girls but havent actually been over there in about 2 years so forgotten where is good to go. Can anywhere recommend where will be good to go Sat nite?
