That has now changed, with the Bootle-born former defender taking up an advisory role at Marine.

For a man so closely connected to the city, it feels fitting that his next step in football comes with a community club on his doorstep.

Carragher joins Marine as advisor

Marine confirmed via the club’s official website that Carragher will support them in an advisory capacity as they continue an ambitious period of growth.

The Crosby club stated: “Marine Football Club is proud to announce that Jamie Carragher will be supporting the club in an advisory capacity.”

Their CEO James Leary then said: “This is a brilliant moment for Marine Football Club.

“Jamie is someone who genuinely cares about football and the local community, and he’s followed closely what we’ve been building here over the last few years.

“His experience and relationships will be a huge help to the club as we continue moving Marine forward over the coming years.”

Carragher’s playing career hardly needs explaining to Liverpool supporters, with the Scouser making 737 appearances for us, winning the Champions League in 2005 and becoming one of the defining Anfield voices of his generation.
