Former Liverpool defender and television pundit Jamie Carragher has apologized to Aston Villa after making what he described as "clumsy" comments that prompted a legal threat from the Premier League club.
Carragher, who works as a football analyst for Sky Sports, issued the apology on Saturday following reports that Villa had considered legal action over his remarks. The specific nature of the comments was not disclosed, but Carragher acknowledged they were ill-judged.
Aston Villa have not publicly commented on the apology. Carragher's statement brings an end to a brief controversy that had drawn attention from fans and media alike.
