Carragher, 46, appeared to be unable to access his account minutes after the Three Lions kicked off in Cologne.

An unknown hacker was in control of his page, appearing to re-direct Carragher’s account to a new username of ‘@XAIPremium’

Last night, the footie pundit’s username @Carra23 – was linked to an account with just 15 followers, a far cry from his usual 2.3million.

The hacker did not stop there as they shared a series of baffling tweets.

But he has since apologised for the bizarre encounter.

He posted on X: “Apologies for anyone who got a strange DM off me last night after I’d been hacked! It now looks like I’m back in the cess pit of X!”

Last night, the first hacked tweet read: “I love these memecoins in @Solana. What is your favourite Memecoin? @LFC.”

Another also shared an image of Carragher alongside CBS Sports colleague Micah Richards, with the caption: “Can’t hear those waiting for CA @MicahRichards #MESSI.”

Another said: “Who wants to buy me a coffee?”

The final post was just a baffling jumble of letters and numbers.

Carragher took to his Instagram to offer some explanation for confused users during England’s drab draw with Slovenia.

He said: “Twitter was hacked so there might be more nonsense on there than usual.”

And fans thought it was hilarious, with one saying: “This England midfield has as much control over this match as Jamie Carragher has over his Twitter account.”

Another added: “I’ll be honest, Carragher getting hacked is by far the most entertaining thing about this England game.”
