You don’t find a Liverpool FC fan who doesn’t know who Jamie Carragher is. Having played defender for the club for 17 years he is a true ‘One Club Man’. Since his retirement as a player he has become the voice of football as a commentator on SKY, as well as the podcast “The Greatest Game”. This shoot with Jamie was done for his book “The Greatest Game” - inspired by his podcast. In the book he talks about his all time favourite games. What better to hear about the greatest games from someone who’s seen them on pitch for 17 years and then 7 years from the commentator’s box? I am sure there are some Everton or Manchester United fans out there who could name some better people to voice their opinions, but I personally think Jamie is pretty qualified.
The shoot took place in Liverpool. It wasn’t a shoot where we could hang around and chat for ages. Jamie had things to do, people to see. No time for a fast kick about, one touch or a kicky-up challenge. But I will say that Jamie was a pretty easy going chilled out guy.
