Jamie Carragher

He talks about his struggles with injury, mental struggles during an injury.

As somebody who had injuries himself, is that A, something that you can identify with?

And B, given how now it is far more at the forefront of society's mind and people are far more open about it, do you think if your career was starting again now, do you think

modern-day players are better prepared to deal with it mentally than perhaps you were?

And just how bad did it get for you?

Craig, how much did you have almost an internal battle with?

Bear in mind, you weren't enjoying it.

And obviously injuries come as well.

And it's a huge mental fight.

How much did you have somebody on this shoulder saying, drive, drive, drive, nothing will beat me.

And was there somebody on this shoulder saying, oh, that's enough.

I'm going to pack football in.

Was there ever a point where you thought, I'm walking away from this and not have had the career that you had?

Craig, just listening to you talk about your experiences and what it was like, and obviously having worked with you as well, you told me some of these things that were happening to you during the time.

How much do you feel you have really tackled it all now with the help you've had, with the medication?

And how at ease are you now with yourself?

what happened, why it happened.

Because as you allude to, you literally, you were fighting and biting 24-7 with everybody to be the best.

You let nothing in the way of your psyche.

But to actually unravel that to yourself and make sense of that, in many ways, I don't think it's at all a surprise that you suffered depression, and by my calculations, just a few years after your career ended.
