Last week, we sat down with Jamie Carragher for Graham Hunter’s latest podcast. Our previous encounter with the Liverpool legend was in Madrid in March of last year. We were in Spain to film some videos with Graham to accompany his Spain book, and also take in the Spain v Italy friendly, notable for being Diego Costa’s debut.

Jamie was in town to interview Xavi Hernandez for the Daily Mail and Graham was on translation duties. We all sat round a table in Las Rozas – Spain’s national training centre in Madrid – while Xavi and Jamie chatted football. It wasn’t the worst moment of my life.

Jamie’s inquisitive nature and strong interest in Spanish football came through. Afterwards, we asked Jamie if he wouldn’t mind doing an interview with us, to help publicise Graham’s Spain book. He agreed. Trouble was, our film crew were in the next room interviewing Pepe Reina. So, I filmed it on our company’s iPad.

Here is my debut as a cameraman. I think you’ll agree that the content of the interview is far superior to the filming. The video last just over five minutes, but Graham felt he had only scratched the surface of what he wanted to ask Jamie. So, it was only natural that we should get him on the podcast. Enjoy!

You can also listen to the podcast on iTunes If you enjoy, please leave a short review – and spread the word. We appreciate it.
