JAMIE CARRAGHER has been branded a 'nothing' in a stinging attack by a former team-mate.
Ex-Liverpool star El-Hadji Diouf is still fuming with Carra over the way the veteran defender treated him during his two-year stint on Merseyside.
Carragher rapped the Senegalese ace in his recent autobiography. But Blackburn forward Diouf stormed: "If Liverpool had 10 players like Carragher, then they would never win anything.
"Carragher, for me, is nothing. He's like a make of ketchup or mustard to a normal person, not important. I played for Liverpool for two years and Carragher never spoke to me. That's life, some people are like that.
"We didn't have a team at Liverpool. We had the English somewhere and the French boys somewhere. If it's like that, you can do nothing together.
"Carragher is just a guy who loves to talk.
"But Carragher doesn't sell papers, Carragher doesn't sell shirts."
Former England defender Carra, 32, is being lined up for a special new role with the FA once he hangs up his boots.
But Diouf, who arrived at Anfield from Lens for £10million in 2002, was fuming when the Kop hero used his book to stick the knife in.
Diouf, 29, blasted: "When I played at Liverpool, Carragher could have talked to me then - but he didn't.
"He was jealous of me - that's why he talked about me. Because when I came to Liverpool I earned more than him and I was a bigger name than him.
"I took my country to the World Cup and to the finals of the African Nations Cup.
"So Carragher can't criticise me because, to me, he has done nothing with his life."
Pele and Maradona both named Diouf in their top 100 players in the world.
The Rovers favourite said: "I'm not going to listen to what Carragher says.
"I listen to the big men, the greats of football. Both said very good things about me."
Carragher criticised Diouf in his book and admitted Gerard Houllier blundered by signing him ahead of Nicolas Anelka.
He wrote: "In all my years at Anfield, I have never met a player who cared less about winning or losing.
"His name - along with that of Salif Diao - still makes even the toughest Liverpudlians shudder in fear."
