Carroll became the most expensive British player ever and took the record for the largest top-flight move by joining for £35million.

The Geordie arrived at Anfield alongside Luis Suarez to replace Fernando Torres, who only a few hours later on the same day, took the record for himself by joining Chelsea for £50million.

The 6ft4in frontman put up some impressive numbers before his mid-season switch, scoring 11 goals and assisting seven in 19 games for Newcastle.

But his record transfer didn't work out how he'd have wanted it to and he couldn't even get near that previous form.

Carroll only managed 11 goals in a total of 58 games for Liverpool, only assisting six in that time too.

The pressure of playing for such a club could have been the problem, but his lack of knowledge of his Reds teammates will have hurt his chances of success at the club too.

He returned to Newcastle six years later on a pay-as-you-play deal.

It was upon that return that Carroll opened up about his time at Anfield, revealing he had to Google who he was playing with.

He explained in 2019: "When I was here [at Newcastle], I'd go home, mess about with my mates, play football, go out, whatever, but I'd never watch football, I never knew any players,

"I'd come in on the Friday or wake up on the Saturday morning saying, 'who are we playing?' I was just completely oblivious to all the football that was going on.

So that's actually a true story.

"It's bad because it's Liverpool players, but it's not disrespectful - I just literally didn't watch football, so I didn't know."

Carroll has also admitted that he just couldn't settle at Liverpool, with Newcastle's play style suiting him more at the time.

Thinking back, I really didn’t appreciate what I had and what I could have achieved.”

Carroll may now look back and regret his time at Liverpool, but he is still playing football at the age of 36 today.
