Gary Neville appears to have had a request for Jamie Carragher to have a commemorative stone at Everton’s new stadium rejected. The former Manchester United defender bought his Sky Sports co-presenter a brick in the Everton Way for his Secret Santa gift on their Sky show The Overlap.
The joke sparked plenty of coverage online, including a backlash in some quarters given the feature of the Blues’ new stadium is set to be a place of tribute and celebration for dedicated supporters and their loved ones.
The brick was due to read ‘Jamie Carragher – forever a Blue’ – a nod to the ex-Liverpool defender’s past as an Everton supporter.

Shocking Footage Emerges: Everton Fans Left Fuming After Loss to Aston Villa The latest footage to emerge from Everton’s disappointing loss to Aston Villa has left fans stunned and frustrated. The Toffees’ lackluster performance was capped off by a series of mistakes and misplays that ultimately cost them the game. As the footage made its way onto social media, fans were quick to react, and the overwhelming sentiment was one of disappointment and disillusionment. “How can we be so bad?” one fan asked, echoing the sentiments of many others. “We’re not even competing,” another fan lamented. The footage in question appears to show a series of defensive lapses and midfield mishaps that allowed Aston Villa to take control of the game. Everton’s players seem sluggish and unresponsive, failing to track back and defend against Villa’s attacks. Fans were particularly scathing in their criticism of the team’s defense, which has been a major weakness all season. “Our defense is a joke,” one fan fumed. “We can’t even defend a simple cross,” another fan pointed out. The loss to Aston Villa is just the latest in a series of disappointing results for Everton, who are struggling to find consistency and momentum. The team’s poor form has put manager David Moyes under pressure, and fans are beginning to question whether he is the right man for the job. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: Everton fans demand better. They expect to see a team that is passionate, committed, and willing to fight for every ball. Anything less is unacceptable, and the footage from the Aston Villa game is a stark reminder of just how far the team has fallen short of expectations. In the end, the shocking footage from the Everton vs Aston Villa game serves as a wake-up call for the team and its fans. It’s a reminder that there is still much work to be done, and that the road to recovery will be long and difficult. But with the right attitude, commitment, and leadership, there is still hope that Everton can turn their season around and achieve their goals.

It now appears Neville’s order for his colleague has been turned down, however.
Carragher took to Instagram to share an update, which featured the message: “Hi Carra, someone at Everton got in touch with me this morning and unfortunately the brick for Everton Way has been rejected.”
Everton Way is set to be one of several touching features of the club’s new stadium and will be a poignant point for reflection for many Blues.
Demand has been huge, leading the club to make more bricks available earlier this month due to size of the waiting list following previous sales periods.
