‘I’m a bit worried’ – Gary Neville reveals why Jamie Carragher missed cab to Carabao Cup final in hilarious video
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville has revealed the hilarious reason as to why Jamie Carragher almost MISSED the cab to the Carabao Cup final this afternoon.
The two Sky Sports pundits had planned to make the journey to Wembley Stadium together ahead of the crunch clash between United and Newcastle.
However, Neville was left waiting when Carragher failed to show up on time.
The United icon took to Instagram live to share the reason behind why his on-screen partner was late.
And it left fans in stitches.
Neville said: “You wouldn’t ordinarily get two lives from me in the same month let alone the same day, but we have some breaking news.

“So, we’ve been chasing down Jamie Carragher. We were supposed to leave at 12 o’clock. We’ve got a big game today, a cup final if you didn’t already know.
“He’s just nowhere to be seen and I start to get a bit worried. Not that I get overly concerned about Carragher!
“I rung his phone four times and he’s not answered. I ring our producer at Sky and he says ‘go back inside and call his room.’

“So I go back inside, call his room and there’s no answer again.
“Anyway, all of a sudden he rings me and says: ‘alright Gar?’ in his scouse accent.
“I say: ‘where the f**k are you?!’
“Then he says: ‘I’m in the spa!’
“And I’m like: ‘you’re taking the p*ss mate.’ Jamie Carragher from Bootle, he’s in the sauna, he’s in the steam room, the hot tub.
“I don’t know whether to laugh!”
Carragher finally made his way to the car 10 minutes later, much to the relief of Neville, who joked: “You look like a Tory politician who’s just won an election!”
Many fans have since hailed the live video as ‘the greatest live in history’.
While waiting for Carragher, Neville continued to film the chaotic scenes that were occurring outside his hotel as a double decker bus attempted a three-point turn in the middle of a narrow street.
He was also left speechless as boxing legend Floyd Mayweather walked past him and into the hotel.
Neville said: “No word of a lie, it’s Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather just walked in past my hotel.
“He just parked his car right in the middle of the road right in the way of the Whitehall number three bus which is struggling like mad.
“This is the best live video you’re ever going to see!”
Neville and Carragher are both pundits on today’s Carabao Cup coverage on Sky Sports.
