Jamie Carragher, England footballer: Profile, Career, News & Videos

Jamie Carragher is an English football analyst and former player who played as a defender. A one-club man, he was Liverpool's vice-captain for ten years and has made the second-most appearances for the club, the most in the Premier League era. Carragher is currently advisor of National League North club Marine.

Carragher started his career at the Liverpool Academy, making his professional debut in the 1996–97 season, and becoming a first-team starter the following season. Having initially played as a full-back, the arrival of manager Rafael Benítez in 2004 saw Carragher move to become a centre-back, where he found his best form. He made his 737th and final appearance for Liverpool on 19 May 2013. His honours with the club total two FA Cups, three Football League Cups, two FA Charity/Community Shields, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup and two UEFA Super Cups.

Internationally, Carragher held the national record for most caps at under-21 level and earned his senior debut in 1999. He represented England at UEFA Euro 2004 and the 2006 FIFA World Cup, before announcing his retirement from international football in 2007. He did, however, temporarily come out of retirement in order to represent England at the 2010 FIFA World Cup, before retiring again with 38 senior England caps.

Following his retirement in 2013, Carragher joined Sky Sports as a commentator and pundit. In July 2020, CBS Sports announced Carragher would join their UEFA Champions League studio broadcast team.
