Liverpool legend turned pundit Jamie Carragher has squared an outstanding tax bill with HMRC, heading off the threat of bankruptcy.
Jamie Carragher has settled an unpaid tax debt with the UK's tax authority, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), closing a dispute that had raised the prospect of bankruptcy proceedings.
The former Liverpool defender, now one of English football's most recognisable television voices, resolved the matter by paying what was owed. With the bill cleared, the immediate threat of insolvency is lifted.
Carragher spent his entire senior career at Anfield, was part of the Liverpool side that won the 2005 Champions League in Istanbul, and has since built a second career as a pundit and analyst. His profile in the media has made the story a talking point well beyond the football pages.
Tax disputes involving high-profile figures tend to draw plenty of attention, but this one now looks to be over. For Carragher, the priority will be to put the episode behind him and get back to doing what he does best: breaking down the game on screen.
