Jamie Carragher, the former Liverpool and England defender and a Sky Sports TV pundit, is named in a bankruptcy petition brought by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). Multiple outlets report the petition is filed in the High Court in London after an unpaid tax claim.
The accounts agree that the matter involves a tax bill and that the filing occurs on a Wednesday. The BBC and other reports describe Carragher as facing being declared bankrupt, while The Irish Mirror says a spokesperson indicates the dispute is expected to be resolved imminently and that Carragher is taking “appropriate steps.” One outlet cites figures said to be in the region of £700,000 to £800,000, while HMRC is reported to decline to comment on the individual case, emphasizing a general approach.
Some reports focus on the immediate legal action and the possibility of bankruptcy, while others emphasize the expected resolution and the broader context of HMRC’s processes. Records referenced by The Mirror specify Carragher’s full legal name as James Lee Duncan Carragher.
