Liverpool icon Carragher: Coutinho my son's favourite player

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher admits his son has dumped his name on the back of his Reds shirt for Philippe Coutinho's.

Coutinho is now the second highest shirt seller for Reds fans.

"That is interesting, that will obviously be a first," Carragher told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"It also shows how well Coutinho has gone down since he has been at the club. The supporters have really taken to him and even my son has got his number on the back.

"When he was a baby he had my name, but that went out a few years ago.

"When he started going to the games I think he realised there were a few better players in the side who he wanted on the back of his shirt than me."
