Jamie Carragher has apologised for spitting in the face of a 14-year-old girl following Liverpool ’s 2-1 loss to Manchester United.
A 14-year-old fan and her dad are seen calling out the scoreline to Carragher while driving in the video, what follows is that he spits at the car.
Carragher said: ‘It was a bit more than, “Hiya Jamie, it was 2-1”. They on for two or three times.
‘I drove away at first and it just continued. I lost my head. I shouldn’t have done it but I was thinking what is a grown man doing, carrying on like that two or three times with his daughter in the car?’
Carragher phoned the girl on Saturday night and said: ‘I just want to apologise and I hope you are ok.’
Speaking on Twitter, Carragher said: ‘Totally out of order & I’ve apologised (sic) personally to all the family this evening.
‘I was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed & lost my rag. No excuse apologies.’
The schoolgirl spoke of her shock and told the Daily Mirror that: ‘I have never been spat at by anyone before. I thought, “Why has he done that”. I thought I had done something wrong.
‘People in school take the mick and it is just a laugh. Someone like him who is older should be able to take a joke.’
