Jamie Carragher has apologised after footage emerged on Sunday appearing to show him spitting in the direction of a passing car.
Working as a pundit on Saturday afternoon for the clash of Liverpool and Manchester United, Carragher had seen his former side beaten 2-1 as the Old Trafford club further increased their chances of securing Champions League football for next season.
However, on his return from the game a nasty scene developed as the 40-year-old was filmed spitting in the direction of a family having been, as the ex-defender put it, ‘goaded’ by a man to his right.
After pulling down his window upon hearing the other man’s comments, Carragher appears to spit in the direction of the passing vehicle.
Jamie Carragher spitting on a 14 year old girl. WTF!

The former England international has since apologised to the family in question, stating:
“I was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed & lost my rag. No excuse apologies.”
