He’s one of our own … and he’s back to tell us all about his tell-all memoir.
In January 2011, at the age of just twenty-two, Andy Carroll became the most expensive British footballer in history. A Geordie powerhouse, one moment he was the hero of St James’ Park, the next he was boarding a helicopter to … you know where … with a £35-million price tag. But behind the record-breaking fee lies a far more personal story. For the first time, Andy speaks candidly about the pain of leaving his boyhood club (and later the emotional reality of his high-profile return) and reveals what really happened on that frantic Transfer Deadline Day and what it felt like to be the most talked-about man in the country.
From the nightclubs of Newcastle to the quiet streets of France, Owning It is a raw, but often humorous, story of a career shaped by soaring highs, crushing lows and an unshakeable desire to step back onto the pitch. He may not have been what the pundits wanted – or what the tabloids made him out to be - but he was always Andy Carroll.
Come and hear the untold story.
