Jamie Carragher has opened up on how he once almost called time on his Liverpool career mid-way through a season because he could not accept being a bit-part player during his latter years at the club.

The former defender also revealed that he was talked out of the decision by then-manager Brendan Rodgers, who urged the ex-England star to 'stick with it'.

Carragher enjoyed a distinguished career with the Reds, joining Liverpool's academy back in 1996 before retiring in 2013, aged 35.
