Jamie Carragher says he wants to concentrate on playing football rather than looking at possible future roles with the club.

The Liverpool defender is flattered at the suggestions by boss Kenny Dalglish that he could have an ambassadorial role at Anfield once he hangs up his boots.

Carragher is keen on the idea of staying on at the club like skipper Steven Gerrard but right now he just wants to do his talking on the pitch. 

"If the manager has mentioned that role, I'm sure we will discuss it in the future," said the player.

"Of course I'd like to stay on but that's not something I want to talk about at the minute. I still want to concentrate on playing. I want to get as much out of my playing career as I possibly can.

"I'm the same as Steven - we love playing for the club and we just want to help in any way that we can. Last week was about Steven and rightly so. He is the figurehead of the club as Kenny was 20 to 30 years ago.

"Steven is a legend of the club, known throughout the world and synonymous with the club. He totally deserves what he has been given by the club and I think it is a fantastic gesture."
