It’s no secret that Jamie Carragher was the boy in blue, but his allegiances have certainly changed since his 737 first-team appearances for Liverpool.
On Sky Sports’ The Overlap, hosted by Gary Neville, our former no.
Strolling the streets of Bootle, the 43-year-old spoke about the state of the team he joined in the late 1990s and how the Merseyside derby has changed since his early days.
When asked about the ‘Spice Boys’ era, Carr blamed their attitude and signing: “They never won a derby in three years…one of the things I’m most proud of is we started bullying Everton.
“We bullied Everton and now we have for about 25 years!”
There’s no doubt that the team ahead of him was worse and the former defender was honest about the role he could play in that dressing room: “If I played in that team and was me, loud and aggressive, I wouldn’t be a great player but just that personality, that team could really go over the edge [to win more silver medals].”
Much has been made of the drinking culture that saw our club leave the club slower than many of our rivals at the time, and perhaps the man with Liverpool’s second most caps has a real reason for some of their failures.
But one thing is for sure: he loves showing off the club he called his own!
Liverpool fans will love hearing Carragher mocking Everton, claiming they’ve ‘bullied’ their neighbours for quarter of a century
