Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have been left rather baffled by a non league club’s badge in a guessing game with player’s careers.
They were completely stumped when they came across the logo of National League South club Welling United, lined up in the order of a certain players’ career path.
After Carragher got the first three correct, the duo had then seen the eight badges of the football clubs that Steve Finnan had played for.
But when the sixth tier club’s crest came up, neither of the pair recognised it – this is where Finnan had started his career.
In the end it was Carragher who won the game 9-2 against Neville, finally getting the correct answer, but only just after the producer had asked if they needed a clue.
Carragher though jumped in by answering with Finnan – his former teammate at the Reds.
“What’s that first badge,” Carragher questioned – before Neville added: “Bayern Munich, is that?” And after staring at it for a few seconds, one of the producers said: “Welling United.”
Carragher said: “Who?”

Here’s what fans said as Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher were baffled by the non league club’s badge in a guessing game…
@rhysmcc44: Wouldn’t have that @wellingunited
@DannyMajor2: Carragher with ridiculous football knowledge
@DaveGroundHops: Shows how little regard they have for non league. Premier league cares about premier league and premier league only
@CaeKx: The worst thing is Gary owned a club who were in non league not too long ago..
@mattmein1: How does he not know the might Welling United 🔴🔴
@d_scorer17: This is ledge 👏🏼 basically what every WhatsApp group did during COVID 🤣
@bp_06_: First time Welling and Bayern Munich have been in the same sentence
@Matt_Samuels0: @Carra23 shambles, get down park view road and have a bevvie 😂
@calthomas_: It’s a shock to absolutely no one that the bloke who has been consistently wrong about Arsenal and football in general is left in the fucking dust when it comes to a general knowledge situation.
@OTG_UK: Reminder to disregard both of these whenever they try to comment on football outside of the Prem. Couldn’t identify the badge of Cambridge United, let alone European Cup winners Red Star. Tell us you only watch the Prem without telling us etc… embarrassing 🤡
@Rob_WHUFC_91: This is the most impressive thing carragher has done while at sky
