From English Tea to Maltese Sunshine…
Hold onto your football scarves, folks! James Carragher, the offspring of Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, is swapping his English jerseys for Maltese sunshine. Yes, you read that right. This 22-year-old defender is leaving the land of fish and chips to play for Malta. Surprisingly, it’s not for the weather, though we’re sure the Mediterranean vibes are a bonus.
James, a regular wall in Wigan Athletic’s defense, has been knocking it out of the park this season with 25 appearances and even scored his debut goal – a feat his dad must be proud of, even if it wasn’t against Manchester United. Despite Jamie’s 38 caps with England, young Jimmy is set to make waves with Malta, armed with citizenship he nabbed just last month. Thank Grandpa Carragher for those island roots!
Naturally, Papa Jamie, now a bonafide Maltese citizen himself, is eagerly waiting to cheer on mini-Carragher as Malta locks horns with Finland in their World Cup qualifiers. And who knows, young James might soon be swapping shirts with Robert Lewandowski. With talks brewing for months, Malta boss Bjorn Vassallo couldn’t be happier; England, well, let’s say they’ll be more careful with their footballing offspring in the future!
