Jamie Carragher apologises to Patrice Evra for Liverpool's "massive mistake" in supporting Luis Suarez

Jamie Carragher has apologized to Patrice Evra for Liverpool's "massive mistake" in wearing t-shirts in support of Luis Suarez. Following the October 2011 clash between Liverpool and Manchester United, then Red Devils defender Evra accused Suarez of making a racist comment towards him. Liverpool stood firm behind their then striker, controversially wearing t-shirts in support of him. "There’s no doubt we made a massive mistake that was obvious," Carragher said. "We travelled on the day of the game, had our lunch and had a team meeting and I remember either Kenny or Steve Clarke said, 'Are you still wearing the shirts?' and that was that first I heard of it. "And I’m not saying I wasn’t part of it because as the club we got it wrong and I was vice-captain. So I’m not sure who was actually behind it, maybe it was one of the close players, I don’t think it was anything to do with Kenny. It was the players who were close to Suarez in the dressing room and they wanted to support their mate. "What I would say maybe I look at myself and say I didn’t have the courage as an individual to say I wasn’t wearing it. I don’t think everyone within LFC thought we were doing what was right. As with your own family, as a football club, your first reaction no matter what someone does is to protect even when you know they have done something wrong. And that is wrong. "I’m not in any way condoning what we did with Suarez, it’s wrong. But it doesn’t matter what instance, it is that is the first reaction, and apologies we got it massively wrong."
