Jamie Carragher aims subtle dig at Gary Neville with Brazilian fullback claim

Former Liverpool centre-back Jamie Carragher used his Soccer Aid appearance on Sunday as the perfect excuse to deliver another dig to his punditry colleague Gary Neville.

Both Carragher and Neville lined up in defence for England in the 11th edition of the popular annual charity match against a World XI, with both teams comprising of celebrities and former footballers. The Three Lions' opponents included legendary Brazilian fullbacks Cafu and Roberto Carlos and after posing for a photo with the World Cup-winners, centre-back Carragher uploaded a cheeky post to his Instagram page.

It read: " Everybody grows up & wants to be @oficialrc3 @cafu2," followed by a wink emoji. The comment draws reference to a previous quote from Carragher about the lack of glamour to be gained playing as a full-back, in which he said: "Nobody grows up wanting to be a Gary Neville."
