Jamie Carragher blasted the decision which led to his first-ever red card 25 years ago, joking that the incident was an example of 'great defending'.

The former defender was dismissed only three times in a Liverpool career that spanned nearly two decades and included over 700 appearances for the Merseyside club.

Carragher was treated to a trip down memory lane during CBS's coverage of the Champions league this week, as he was made to relive the first of these indiscretions.

The incident occurred during the second half of a top-flight clash against Charlton Athletic at the Valley, when Carragher, attempting to fend of the jostling Martin Pringle, caught the attacker with a flailing arm to the face.
