Former Liverpool and England player Jamie Carragher is facing a bankruptcy petition over an unpaid tax bill. Filings indicate that a case was filed against James Lee Duncan Carragher on Wednesday, 26 August 2026.
The 'bankruptcy petition' was filed by lawyers representing HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). HMRC has stated that it takes a supportive approach to customers with tax debts and offers assistance such as instalment plans, only petitioning for bankruptcy as a last resort.
Carragher, who played for Liverpool from 1996 to 2013, is a regular pundit on Sky Sports' Premier League coverage, the Stick To Football show, and CBS Sports' Champions League programming.
