Carragher

Baffles me how this didn't end his career as a pundit. Especially on a platform like Sky.
Think his Dar threatened Sky. Well, it would seem he fancies himself as some form of protective enforcer if this rather embarrassingly bit too nice piece is to go by:

Got to the 4th paragraph, read this:

“Carragher is, with the exception of Sir Paul McCartney, the world’s most famous scouser. It’s true there are other contenders – Mel C, Wayne Rooney, Stephen Graham – but no one else is so internationally known as a scouser.”

And gave up.
 
There will always be an argument that back in the day the game wasn't as fast and players weren't as fit..blah blah blah...ought to be , the pitches were crap, the balls got wet and became medicine balls and opposition kicked the living crap out of you....but heyho

This might just be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. What a load of complete and utter manure.

Key bit:

You can’t begin to understand Jamie Carragher until you’ve met Philly: his dad, coach and cornerman, and a formidable local figure in his own right. He is a man who makes his presence known. In the foreword for Carra, Carragher’s 2009 autobiography, Kenny Dalglish recalled his first meeting with Philly, at an under-10s match in 1990. At the time, Dalglish was Liverpool manager. When his son’s side conceded a late penalty, he complained from the stands. “Keep your [Poor language removed] mouth shut, Dalglish,” roared Philly, prompting a set-to that firmly impressed the name Carragher into Dalglish’s mind. (“It was never a pen,” Dalglish maintained, although Philly and Kenny became friends long after.)

Now 71, stout and sandy-haired, with the trademark Carragher squint and a gravelly voice from a different scouse vintage, Philly volunteered to pick me up from Liverpool Lime Street on the day I was due to meet Carragher at the Brunswick. The offer was intended as a warm welcome and as a vetting mission. He is fiercely protective of his first-born son – as many journalists have discovered, often through a follow-up phone call from Philly after having written something about “our James”
