He had said: ‘I want to play for Liverpool’. Jamie Carragher, who himself grew up as an Evertonian only to later become a Liverpool legend, believes the opportunity to win trophies and the fact Barmby was not a local lad made this a transfer he could understand.“If I’d signed for Everton as a teenager and played for the first team, there’s absolutely no chance I could ever make that move,” Carragher told the Athletic in 2020.

I know because they are fierce rivals, not a lot of people will agree with me but I am very proud of the fact I played for Everton.”
