Jamie Carragher: "I don't want people to remember me as a footballer" (Soccer 1/29)

from Kickin' It · host CBS Sports, Kickin' It, Kate Abdo, Clint Dempsey, USMNT, USWNT, NWSL

Kate Scott sits down with UCL Today co-host and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher for a candid conversation about football, media, pressure, and life after the final whistle. Jamie reflects on the intensity of playing for Liverpool, the toll it took, and why management was never a path he wanted to follow. He opens up about learning to shut out outside noise from early criticism in his career to navigating controversy and social media as one of football’s most recognizable voices. The conversation turns to his evolution as a pundit, why he’s driven to be remembered as a top broadcaster rather than just a former player, and how working in media helped him step outside the Liverpool bubble. Jamie also shares what he misses most about playing, what it’s like watching his son chase his own football dreams while trying to stay quiet on the sidelines, and how seeing his daughter pursue acting has helped him enjoy something completely removed from the game. Plus, reflections on his Scouse identity, his pride in seeing Liverpudlians succeed, his sense of responsibility to give back, and the constant support of his wife, Nicola.
