Jamie Carragher apologises to Patrice Evra for 2011 racism row

Jamie Carragher has apologized to Patrice Evra for being part of defending Luis Suarez after his racism row with the former Manchester United man back in 2011.

In December 2011, the Uruguayan International was handed an eight-match ban by the FA after being found guilty of uttering racist words at Patrice Evra during a derby on October earlier that year.

Evra had complained as such with the referee and after months of investigation, Suarez was finally found guilty of having used derogatory words.

Carragher was the club’s vice-captain back then and was compelled to be part of the campaign defending Suarez from being a racist as well, but the former England international cleared the air with Evra in the “Monday Night Football” show yesterday.
