Carragher died of cancer on 29 December 2016 at the age of 40. Former teammate Tony Naylor paid tribute to him as a "a cheeky chappie, a typical Scouse lad, confident and a nice guy with it".

I think the EFL Trophy is great, in terms of League One and League Two sides? THE EFL TROPHY IS GREAT. Here is my idea for the trophy. I think Scottish Premier sides who have not qualified for Europe, and selected Welsh Premier sides should be invited into the EFL Trophy, for cross border games. The Scottish allow English, Welsh, and Irish sides in the Scottish Challenge Cup. I do not support a league merger but do cross border cups, between clubs club sides over Great Britain and possibly Ireland. It would be awesome to have cross border games without giving up our own leagues. I do not want to merge the leagues. I do though want cross border cups. Imagine games like Aberdeen v Sunderland, Connahs Quay Nomads v Tranmere, or Hibernian v Blackpool. Scottish sides could be in the Northern section of the EFL Trophy, and Welsh sides in the Southern section of the EFL Trophy. I would really really help Welsh soccer and would add cross border banter for Scotland and England sides.

The winner of this trophy should play the winner of the Irn Bru trophy
