Carroll Andy is a famous English footballer born in 1989, January 6th. His full name is Andrew Thomas. And he is known for his appearances for the English national team, as well as for Newcastle and West Ham United.
The beginning of professional activity
Carroll Andy began to act at a professional level for the “Newcastle” - initially for the reserve staff. But in 2006, on November 2, he made his debut for the main team. It was a match held in the framework of the UEFA Cup, and the opponent of the English was FC “Palermo”. Then, of course, he was released to replace at the end of the game. Then he became the youngest player of “Newcastle” in all European competitions. And of course - after all, Andrew entered the field at the age of 17 years and 300 days.
In the FA Cup, he made his debut when his team played against FC Birmingham. Then he, too, was released to replace in the last ten minutes of the game. In 2007, February 25, Carroll Andy played his first match in the English Premier League. But he also came out as a substitute - at 87 minutes. Then his club played against Wigan. In the same year, he managed to win an award called the Wor Jackie Milburn Trophy. Every year she is awarded to the person who was recognized as the rising football star of the north-east of the country.
Further career development
On June 29, 2007, Carroll Andy scored his first goal for the team. Then they played against Turin Juventus. And the game ended in favor of “Newcastle” with a good score at 2: 0. After the match was over, Gianluigi Buffon, the eminent goalkeeper of the “Old Signora”, praised the young Andrew. Then the talented goalkeeper predicted the Englishman a very good and promising future.
Carroll Andy became more popular, and he was rented by FC Preson North End. He spent six months there. The debut match took place on the very first day when the rental period began. He also scored goals, but in January he returned to his native club. Unfortunately, the team dropped out of the submarine in 2009.
Such famous players as Mark Viduki, Michael Owen, Obafemi Martins left the club. So Carroll Andy became hope. He firmly entered the basis of the composition. And by 2010, he was completely entrenched there, entering the field in every match. In addition, he formed a wonderful bond with his colleague, Peter Lowencrans. In 2010, Andrew finished the season, being the club's top scorer. He scored as many as 19 goals.
Liverpool and West Ham
In 2011, Andy Carroll moved to Liverpool for 35 million pounds. The player said that he was not particularly eager to go there. It was just that Newcastle unexpectedly informed him that the contract would not be renewed. Therefore, I had to make such a decision. Andrew was stunned by the fact that he was unnecessary beloved and native team, to which he really gave everything. He did not want to leave. But I had to do it.
For a long time he did not stay there and in 2012 moved to West Ham. True, in the first match he was injured and dropped out for a month. Then he returned and for two seasons showed his full potential, bringing the team many victories. Particularly spectacular was the double, issued at the gate of West Brom. Then his club won with a score of 3: 1. Until 2013, Andrew was a rented player, but then “West Ham” finally bought it.
