Former Liverpool and England defender Jamie Carragher faces a bankruptcy petition over an unpaid tax bill. Court filings show lawyers representing HM Revenue and Customs filed the case on Wednesday, with Carragher and his representatives approached for comment.

HMRC said it generally uses bankruptcy proceedings only as a last resort after trying to help taxpayers resolve debts through options such as instalment plans. The supplied reporting does not state the amount allegedly owed or an outcome.
