Jamie Carragher posts phone number on Twitter - fans convinced it’s Gary Neville’s
JAMIE CARRAGHER posted a mysterious phone number on WhatsApp on Twitter - and fans are convinced it is Gary Neville’s.
Liverpool legend Carragher responded to a tweet from bookmaker Paddy Power who said they were reopening a market on when Carragher would post a video of his pal Neville missing an easy chance in a Manchester United legends game against Bayern Munich.
Carragher replied by saying: “I’m in Turkey & I can’t find the clip! Send me it someone Pleaseeee!!”
He then added: “0*********9 just WhatsApp me.”
Shocked followers were then certain he was attempting to play a prank on Neville by handing out his personal number to the public.
“Haha defo Gary’s number,” said one person on Twitter.
“Is that Gary Neville’s number,” another asked.
A third said: “That Gary Neville's phone number?”
A fourth noted: “It ain't Carras number as he says he's in Turkey but it rings with a UK dial tone lol. Got to be @GNev2 number.”
Another onlooker thought they would chance their arm by calling the number.
Some were angry at Carragher and advised him to take the tweet down.
“I hope that's a burner phone or someone may have gone too far again,” said one.
Another added: “That's disgraceful to put somebody's number up.”
“I just called the number and it picked up no one was talking for about 40 seconds,” they said.
Carragher later replied to a tweet from someone who asked if he might have been drinking.
The former defender said: “I’m f****d! Delete that tweet for us mate.”
He then posted a video of Neville’s miss with a caption that read: “No one wants to grow up and be @GNev2 except Phil.”
Despite Neville’s miss, United went on to win the game celebrating there treble win in 1999 5-0 thanks to goals from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Dwight Yorke, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Louis Saha.
