Jamie Carragher has been retired from professional football since 2013, but his son, James, is a defender for Wigan Athletic who is now able to play for an international side that isn't England.

James Carragher played for Liverpool's academy until the age of 15 before moving to Wigan, where he has since risen through the ranks into the first team.
