I was shocked by today's news. It seems that his mother and grandmother were Maltese. That explains his ability in playing football particularly around own goals. His son is eligible to play with Malta

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher and his son James, also a footballer, have both recently been granted Maltese citizenship.
Jamie Carragher, who enjoyed a 17-year career playing for Liverpool in the English Premier League was recently granted citizenship due to his grandfather and mother being Maltese.
Government sources confirmed Carragher was granted citizenship by registration which, among other criteria, requires the applicant to be a direct descendant of someone born in Malta, with a parent also born in Malta.
The popular football pundit and former England player’s grandfather Paul Vassallo was Maltese originally, hailing from Qormi. He married an English woman before moving to Bootle in the UK, with his daughter Paula née Vassallo, Carragher’s mother, also Maltese.
