"The 2009/10 season saw Carroll truly blossom into a star striker for the Magpies, netting an impressive 17 goals in 39 appearances as Newcastle secured the Championship title and earned immediate promotion back to the Premier League. His commanding physical presence and exceptional aerial ability translated to the top flight, too, leading to an England call-up in no time at all."
"A move to Liverpool followed, where he wore the legendary no.9 shirt and despite a period of adaptation, Carroll helped the Reds win the 2012 League Cup title. His strong finish to the 2011/12 season earned him a place on the plane to Euro 2012, too, where he'd net against Sweden for the Three Lions. Carroll then enjoyed a productive seven-year spell at West Ham United, initially on loan before signing permanently."
Andy Carroll's professional football journey began at his hometown club Newcastle, where at 17 years and 300 days he became the club's youngest player to appear in a competitive European fixture during a UEFA Cup win against Palermo. A loan spell at Preston North End provided senior experience before a return to St James' Park where he established himself and scored his first competitive goal with a powerful header against West Ham. The 2009/10 season produced 17 goals in 39 appearances as Newcastle won the Championship and promotion. His aerial strength earned an England call-up and a subsequent move to Liverpool, where he wore the no.9 shirt and helped win the 2012 League Cup. A Euro 2012 goal against Sweden marked his international scoring, and a seven-year spell at West Ham followed, initially on loan then permanent, with numerous memorable goals.
