Jamie Carragher calls Man United fan “fat Russell Crowe’s son” during Sky Sports debate

"Let's not make this personal"

Sky Sports were at Anfield on the eve of the season’s first meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United.

Looking ahead to the game, part of the show saw Geoff Shreeves host a debate between representatives from The Redmen TV and Full Time Devils (with Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville also pitching in, too).

A number of topics were discussed, with both sides trading the odd light-hearted quip here and there.

Neville, who by this stage has already been on the wrong end of a joke about his time as Valencia manager, mentioned the own-goals scored by Carragher for United. This prompted a comment from Full Time Devils presenter, Stephen Howson.

“You scored a brace one year, didn’t you?” he asked.

“I did, yeah, fat Russell Crowe’s son, there,” Carragher responded.

“Let’s not make this personal,” Shreeves can then be heard saying.

Fortunately, Howson (and everyone else present) appeared to see the funny side.

“I said be careful,” Neville added. “Scousers – they’ll always go low. Lower than you will.”

Plenty of viewers also appeared to enjoy Carragher’s comment.
