Former Liverpool and England player turned pundit Jamie Carragher faces being declared bankrupt over an unpaid tax bill.

Filings seen by the BBC show that a case was filed against James Lee Duncan Carragher on Wednesday.

Carragher and his representatives have been approached for comment.

The 'bankruptcy petition' filed by lawyers representing HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) was first reported by City AM.

"We only petition for bankruptcy as a last resort."

Carragher, who played for Liverpool between 1996 and 2013, regularly appears on Sky Sports' Premier League coverage, the Stick To Football show and CBS Sports' Champions League programming.
