Andy Carroll - Best Striker in the World

[Frenchie]

Ha ha, thanks. I was lying, I'd never have bothered checking it for myself.



Well done...

That looks like grooming has been going on a long time

Regarding Andy Carroll.

I have been thinking this for quite a while since watching him play and without a shadow of a doubt he reminds more of one player from the recent past than any other. Similar physique, style, strength, not the fastest, holds the ball up well, menacing in the air.

That player...................... Duncan Ferguson

Discuss

That's a pretty good shout, hopefully he's better and less injury prone than him though.

I have to say i bloody loved Duncan Ferguson back in the day , you can see why he was a hero to all Evertonians.

Talk about a tough *******

Loved that story when he kicked those burglars heads in

[totobeware]

Didn't Ferguson once beat the crap out of someone that tried to burgle him?

Edit - Looks likely.

Did he not sit on them until the police came?

I am sure some junkie attacked him with a smashed bottle having broken into his house and Ferguson smacked him in the face leaving the guy hospitalised for 2 days...

I quite rated Duncan Ferguson as a player, you can guarantee no defender liked playing against him and as I mentioned I think he is the player Andy Carroll most resembles.

[JohnOK]

Ferguson spent most of the time not playing though. I hope Carroll doesn't get his injury record.

FWIW I think Carroll can become an infinitely better player than Big Dunc. I thought Dunc had nothing to his game apart from that he was pretty decent in the air.

i went to uni in dundee and ferguson used to play for dundee united. there were tons of incidents that didnt get reported regarding his off pitch antics and the only reason i found out was because one of my mates was the bar manager at belushis and the other ran the door at de stihls night club.

he was known as a total nutcase and was always getting into fights and bother. he was also a complete pisshead but they all said he was ****ing hard - he even pasted a few of the bouncers.
