Well, well, well, how very unsurprising...
This is the father who filmed Jamie Carragher's spitting at his 14-year-old daughter, MailOnline can reveal.
Andy Hughes, a die-hard
Manchester United fan, used his mobile phone to record the shameful incident that has left Carragher clinging on to his £1million-a-year Sky Sports job.
Mr Hughes, from Colwyn Bay, north Wales, shouted: '2-1, 2-1, unlucky Jamie lad, 2-1 lad' from his open car window after spotting the TV presenter in traffic following Liverpool's loss to Manchester United on Saturday.
He then watched as former Liverpool star Carragher launch a mouthful of spit, which hit his 14-year-old daughter sat in the car.
Mr Hughes – who says repeatedly that he 'hates Scousers' on his Instagram account – filmed the encounter with the TV presenter on his mobile phone.
In the footage his daughter can be heard saying: 'He spat on me.' Hughes asks her: 'Where did it hit you?' The schoolgirl replies: 'On my face.' He can then be heard laughing.
His daughter then burst into tears, Hughes claims. The girl's 38-year-old mother Sarah was also in the car.
He later claimed he continued to laugh so that his daughter 'did not panic'.
Carragher, who was born Bootle, Merseyside, and is worth £15 million, has since phoned Hughes to apologise for spitting at his daughter in a 'moment of madness'.
Mr Hughes has also been spoken to by police as enquiries are ongoing into the incident.
He and his wife have urged Sky Sports not to sack the former Liverpool defender over the altercation.
He said: 'We don't want him to lose his job. It is not about that. We wanted an apology and explanation. He seems contrite.
Everyone makes mistakes, we are all human.'
Mrs Hughes added: 'He did seem extremely sorry.'
Earlier today BBC presenter Jeremy Vine said in a tweet that the person filming Carragher should be jailed for using a mobile at the wheel.
The Radio 2 host hit out at Carragher, branding his actions 'disgusting' and 'certainly sackable' but implied that using a phone on the motorway was worse as the man should go 'straight to jail.'
He wrote: 'Spitting: disgusting, possibly criminal, certainly sackable.
'Filming on a mobile while driving a car with a child in the back, on a motorway, paying no attention whatsoever to the road: straight to jail.'
A die-hard Manchester United fan Hughes idolizes club players writing '[Eric] Cantona's magic' on his Instagram account.
He also reveals he is fiercely proud of his 'Manchester United' dinner plate, on his Facebook account.
I love how he's suddenly become magnanimous, pleading for Carragher to keep his job, now he realises that people are on to him and the police might be popping by. Absolute wum.
