In a special edition of Off Script, Jamie Carragher explains how the same fear of failure that underpinned his success as a player influenced his decision not to try his hand at management – and why that was for the best.
Carra, It was great hearing a Bootle, Knowsley Rd, St. James voice. I went to St. Jimmie's, lived in Holywell Street and then Netherton and our doctors, Harris and Rivlin were on Knowsley Road. Been a Red (football and politically) all my life - I'm 78 next birthday - and my nieces still let me use one of their season tickets when we visit. I married up in 1970 - Nora lived in Crosby and went to Seafield - and we moved to Jamaica for four years. In 1974 we came to Ontario. Canada where continue to live four children and two granddaughters later. In 2012 I took my three boys to watch Liverpool play in Toronto and last year my two oldest boys took their old fart of a father to Notre Dame to see Liverpool play Borussia Dortmund.Enjoy your sessions with Gary Neville. I may be one of the few Liverpool supporters who doesn''t "hate" United. Just after the war my dad introduced me to a friend who visited us in Holywell St as "Mr. Busby." It was years later he confirmed that it was Matt Busby. I think my dad knew him at Sandhurst.
