Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been the subject of a bankruptcy petition filed by His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over an unpaid tax bill.

The 48-year-old former England international appeared in court on Wednesday after HMRC brought the case against him.

A bankruptcy petition is a formal application to a court seeking repayment of an outstanding debt.

HMRC describes bankruptcy proceedings as a “last resort” when pursuing unpaid taxes.
