José Enrique ends career with a rare successful block … on Jamie Carragher

Poor Carra was just trying to be nice…

Former Liverpool and Newcastle full back José Enrique sadly had to call time on this career today as persistent injury problems forced him to pack it in.

The Spanish full back hung up his boots by issuing a statement on his Instagram saying it was a “hard decision to take and accept.”

As usual on these occasions the tributes flowed in from all quarters for Enrique, but one former Reds colleague was stopped in his tracks to post his best wishes.

Sky pundit Jamie Carragher played alongside Enrique in Liverpool’s defence for a couple of seasons, but was perplexed to find that José had inexplicably blocked him on Twitter when he went to wish him a fond farewell earlier this evening.

What’s that all about then? Check out Carragher’s tweet for yourself:
