Spearhead of the Girondins de Bordeaux attack last season, Andy Carroll finds himself in trouble.
If the Girondins de Bordeaux were unable to obtain their promotion to National 1 last season, Andy Carroll still brought a welcome breath of fresh air for the FCGB, with his 11 goals in 23 outings in the scapular jersey.
Returned to England for family reasons, the 36-year-old has not yet hung up his boots, playing for Dagenham & Redbridge FC, a sixth division London club. But it is on a completely different ground that the person concerned is now expected to turn the corner.
Five years of imprisonment incurred
This Tuesday, December 30, Andy Carroll will appear before Chelmsford Magistrates’ Court charged with breaching a protection order. In this case an order issued to prevent the footballer from approaching a person or going to a specific location.
The former Newcastle and Liverpool international striker was arrested last April for acts dating back to March. If convicted of the criminal offense for which he is summoned this Tuesday, Andy Carroll faces a prison sentence of up to five years.
