Twist of fate means Liverpool loanee is OUSTED by club legend’s son
It was always going to be a fun bit of irony when young Liverpool right-back Calvin Ramsay joined Wigan Athletic, who house legend Jamie Carragher’s fellow right-back son on their team.
But it wasn’t expected that Carragher’s son, James, would actively take game time away from the Scot who was loaned out to get exactly the development that playing games brings.
But that is exactly what has happened. James Carragher played a full 90 minutes for Wigan in their 0-0 draw against Exeter yesterday, whilst Calvin Ramsay didn’t even make the bench. The legend’s son registered two interceptions as Wigan kept their third clean sheet in a row with Carragher playing in some capacity.

Carragher played the second half in Wigan’s previous 0-0 draw with Stevenage – ironically also replacing Liverpool loanee Luke Chambers – whilst Calvin Ramsay again didn’t make the squad. Carragher played 80 minutes in the two games before that, another 0-0 with Lincoln and a 4-0 demolition of Bristol Rovers, with Ramsay replacing him for the final 10 minutes on both occasions.
Fans took to Twitter to heap praise on Jamie’s son. One account, @CentralWigan, quipped that he ‘shoots like his dad but that can be forgiven’.
If James Carragher doesn’t win POTM we should pack the entire thing in. What a player, comfortably the best on the pitch today as well #wafc

Whilst this is brilliant for the Liverpool icon and his family, it is a concerning situation for Calvin Ramsay. Brought in from Aberdeen in 2022, the Scot has been sent out on loan to both Preston North End and Bolton Wanderers with diminishing returns – the former recovering from a knee injury – and if he is falling out of favour at Wigan it will be incredibly detrimental to his development.
The right-back was brought in with a keen eye on his potential, talent and the future. For his own sake, sharing minutes with Carragher would see the situation become a lot more promising.

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.
Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.
Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
