JAMIE CARRAGHER is back in the public eye for the first time after his spit shame, as he takes part in a Liverpool legends game against Bayern Munich legends.
The former Reds defender, 40, was suspended by Sky after spitting at a 14-year-old girl following Liverpool’s loss to Man United.
But Carragher started the game for Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday afternoon, who took a 3-0 lead before going 4-3 down in a matter of minutes.
Dirk Kuyt put Liverpool one-up within two minutes, before Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler made it 3-0 early doors.
However, quick goals from Luca Toni, Paulo Sergio and Alexander Zickler (two) incredibly put Bayern 4-3 up before half-time.
Xabi Alonso was another player on display for the game… representing both teams.
The Spanish legend started the game for Liverpool, but even then managed to give the ball away with what turned out to be a perfect cross for the visitors to score.
Alonso is set to swap shirts at half-time and jump into the German side’s midfield.
CARRA AXED Jamie Carragher suspended from Sky Sports until the end of the season for spit shame
Despite being very in the public eye of late, it was hardly all about Carragher at Anfield.
In fact, incredibly a 57-year-old Lothar Matthaus was one star turning out for Bayern – going head-to-head with Steven Gerrard.

Matthaus not only played in the 1986 World Cup final, but also the 1982 tournament… when Stevie G was just two-years-old.
