Some Carragher quotes courtesy of the fiver...

• "I was never in love with playing for England in the first place."
• "Sitting on the England coach as it prepared to drive us away from the World Cup in Germany, I received a text message. 'Fcuk it! It's only England'. I'd just missed a penalty in the quarter-final shoot-out against Portugal. Representing your country is the ultimate honour, especially in the World Cup. Not to me."
• "I would rather miss for England than LFC."
• "I wasn't giving up my football career or my ambitions. Only England."
• "The Liver Bird mauled the Three Lions in the fight for my loyalties."
• "Whenever I returned home from disappointing England experiences, one unshakeable, overriding thought pushed itself to the forefront of my mind, no matter how much the rest of the nation mourned. 'At least it wasn't Liverpool,' I'd repeat to myself, over and over."
