Biography

James Lee Duncan Carragher was born to Paula and Phil on the 28th of January 1978. He grew up on Knowsley Road in Bootle, Liverpool, with his two brothers John and Paul. In his early childhood, he supported Mersey based team Everton, before becoming an established Liverpool fan. He went to Saint James' Roman Catholic School. Jamie was signed by Liverpool as a teenager, and won the FA Youth in 1996, alongside Michael Owen. His full senior team debut was against Middlesbrough in the Coca Cola Cup. His Premiership debut came against West Ham. He played mainly defensive positions, but was sometimes drafted in to play when there was a hole in the midfield as well. As a result, he was unable to define a permanent use. Following the signings of John Arne Riise and Steve Finnan, he began to play on the right side of the defense and began to hold down a first team position of his own for the first time. He was moved into centre half again in the new season by manager Rafael Benitez and has since established himself as one of the best defenders in Europe, an international career having been built up along side his club one, by this time including several starting games for England. In 2005, Jamie starred in an anti-bullying music video for a Liverpool based group called Just 3. In July, he finally married his beautiful childhood sweetheart Nicola, and has since had two children; James and Mia.
