Former Liverpool defender and football pundit Jamie Carragher is facing a bankruptcy petition filed by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) at the High Court in London. The petition concerns an unpaid tax bill estimated to be between £700,000 and £800,000.

Following the filing, Carragher was subjected to on-air jokes during CBS Sports’ Champions League coverage, where presenter Kate Abdo remarked that his career stats were “more depleted than Jamie’s bank account.”

A spokesperson for Carragher has described the situation as a “private tax matter that should have been resolved sooner” and indicated that the matter is expected to be “resolved imminently” and should not proceed further.
