He was getting his car blown up and stuff...!Kevin (Nolan) took him into his wing, like, under his arm and said I'm gonna look after you because you're our top striker, your scoring goals, you're the man, and that helped him a lot Kevin Nolan taking him under his wing., that definitely helped him because he was getting his car blown up and stuff like that in Newcastle, I remember he was going through a lot of s**t.
I heard rumours, only rumours probably, but knowing Andy the way he is, I heard he snuck out and hurt his leg or whatever, it sounds like him to be fair, it definitely sounds like him, I promise you to be fair.
I'd totally forgotten about that story, it was parked on the drive of Nolan's family home at the time too.
This is the same guy who was chased home from training and shot at in Essex recently too. Add the various rumours and stories about his party lifestyle and you have to think the sooner he retires and brings out a book the better, what a read that would be if he didn't hold back!
Had forgotten about these little gems too...
Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor has suffered a broken jaw following an alleged row with team-mate Andy Carroll over the striker's ex-girlfriend.
Both players needed surgery yesterday after the extraordinary bust-up at the club's training ground.
He is accused of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against Michael Cook in the Blu Bambu club in December. It was alleged in Newcastle Magistrates Court last month that Carroll smashed a glass into Mr Cook's face. Carroll, who became a father in September, was also cautioned a year before his daughter was born for assault on a woman in Newcastle city centre.
West Ham football star Andy Carroll has been interviewed by police in Ireland after a photographer was allegedly assaulted.
The striker, on loan at the Hammers from Liverpool FC , was with team-mates in Dublin for a weekend Christmas party after beating Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday.
