The HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has lodged a petition in the High Court of London seeking to declare former England footballer and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher bankrupt due to his failure to pay an unpaid tax bill. The 48-year-old, known for his extensive work with Sky Sports, co-hosting the Monday Night Football programme, and appearing on the Stick To Football podcast, is now facing potential bankruptcy proceedings.
Carragher, who transitioned from a successful career with Liverpool, earning multiple trophies including two FA Cups, three League Cups, a UEFA Cup, and a Champions League, to a prominent role in sports media, is now the subject of this legal action. His management, formerly Wasserman, was contacted for comment. Despite HMRC's supportive approach to dealing with customers facing tax debts, such as offering installment plans, they only resort to bankruptcy as a last resort. Carragher's management declined to comment further.
