Skrtel played every minute of every Premiership game in 2010/11, one of only two outfield players in the league to do so.
"I'm proud of the achievement. My job is to protect the goal, with blocks, tackles, whatever it takes. If you have to do a hard tackle to help your team, you don't think about it," said the defender.
"Small injuries are part of football. If the pain is not really big, and you can run, you can still play.
"Veni, vidi, vici is my philosophy. I liked it the first time I read it, what it means. You have to fight and go for victory. I had it tattooed last season after I broke my foot. I went back to Slovakia and had the tattoo while I was watching Liverpool play Manchester United on the TV.
"Obviously the fact that I was the most capped player in Premier League makes me very happy and very proud but our success is much more important to me.
"On the other hand I wouldn't reach this without the support of our great fans. I would really like to thank them for their support. They are always tremendous."
