He’s played it, he’s lived it, and now he’s telling BuzzFeed why it’s the world’s greatest.
With the 2015/16 Premier League season ALMOST upon us, BuzzFeed Football spoke to this man...
Liverpool legend and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has given us his favourite Premier League moments – the moments that prove it's the greatest league in the world.
From 23 years of drama, goals, elation and heartbreak, Jamie's nailed it down to just 10 key moments.

10) Steven Gerrard's goal against Manchester United in 2001...
Yeah, OK, we know what you're thinking, Of course Jamie's going to pick a Liverpool goal against Manchester United, but hear him out:
"To score against the old enemy, against midfielders like Keane and Scholes," says Jamie.
"He announced himself to the world as the man to take the mantle as the best midfielder in the country."

9) The Arsenal Invincibles going unbeaten in 2003/04...
"The unbeaten run – that team they had can't ever really be topped. That was the best side we've seen in the Premier League. Sadly they didn't do enough in Europe. They were good enough to win Champions League but didn't."
And Carra thinks there's only one man who could match Wenger's achievement in that incredible season:
"If anyone is going to match it, it will be Mourinho and Chelsea. If anyone is going to do it, it will be him."

8) Gary McAllister's winning goal against Everton in 2001...
Another Liverpool moment, and here's why:
"[It was] a derby game, in the Premier League, and if there was one ground you wanted to win at most as a Liverpool player, I'd say Goodison.
"That goal set us on our way in the year we won our cups. We got Champions League qualification for the first time, and without that goal, we wouldn't have got it.
"We won the match from a 40-yarder!"
