Andy Carroll. a player you either love or don’t like. Liverpool fans have a peculiar relationship with the player who is still considered one of the club’s biggest flop signings. If you ask Christian Eriksen about Carroll, you’ll probably get a laugh in response. In January 2023, the Danish Manchester United player left Old Trafford on crutches, after a savage tackle of close to 100 kilograms of Carroll mass. Now Carroll is back in the spotlight, but in a completely different setting.
Things are happening at Dagenham & Redbridge FC. Not heard of the club? Don’t despair, you’re in good company. We have to go down to the 6th best league in England to find the club Andy Carroll signed with this weekend. What makes it interesting is that a few hours before signing, a consortium of Qatari investors announced that they had bought the club.

According to Sky Sports, Andy Carroll has been given a minority stake in the club as part of the deal. For Carroll, however, it is the “joy of football” that matters most.
“The level doesn’t matter, as long as I play football, that’s what matters. I just love playing football. I come here and want to show that I play for the love of the game and not because of the level, money and prestige,” Carroll told Sky Sports.
Andy Carroll comes from 21 games in the Bordeaux shirt with 11 goals.
For us, the investment of Carroll and the Qatari money people is reminiscent of being inspired by “Welcome to Wrexham”. They got us to cover Dagenham & Redbridge FC for the first time. We are eagerly following the journey ahead.
