The former England Under-19s player was tipped to be a star of the future, playing 62 times as a youngster for Newcastle.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLBut his career was plagued by disciplinary issues, culminating in an eight-month prison sentence in January 2017 for online banking fraud. He was released from jail after ten weeks and returned to his then-club Southend.But he was unable to initially play in midweek games due to a 7pm curfew.He had previously spent 11 weeks in a young offenders institute for his part in an armed robbery while on the books of Southampton.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSRanger has also been involved in a number of other controversies away from the field.He caused outrage in 2011 while at Newcastle after posing with a gun.says Jamie Carragher as he warns Newcastle that Eddie Howe will leave for dream job if he isn’t happyA few months later, he was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a man in the city centre.He was found not guilty but still spent months in exile at the Magpies.Ranger also got charged with drunk and disorderly behaviour just days after being reinstated to training.The player was later fined £6,000 by the FA in 2012 for making a string of homophobic comments on Twitter.And in 2014, he was twice charged for criminal damage in what were separate incidents. But Ranger claims he has matured since becoming a father two years ago and believes his experiences will be valuable to non-league and young players.Meanwhile, he is keen for a movie to be made about his life and he reckons he could have been as good as Haaland.Ranger told The Athletic: “I should be minimum Championship right now.

      England manager Lee Carsley says new-found fame is getting him stopped at coffee shops by ‘random’ people

      by

      LEE CARSLEY is getting used to the buck stopping with him for England — thanks to fans advising him in the queue for coffee.The 50-year-old takes charge of his first home game as interim boss against Finland tonight.Lee Carsley admits fans are now stopping him at coffee shopsCredit: GettyAnd the scrutiny is a step up from his role as England Under-21s chief.But the Brummie insists not much has changed — barring supporters giving him their two pennies’ worth at service stations.Carsley said: “I’ve had a bit more attention from random people who shout, ‘Make sure you pick so-and-so’ when I get to Starbucks at a services. But very respectful and things are pretty normal still.”The interim boss reckons it is easy to stay grounded as his life experience is similar to that of many everyday people.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLReferencing the care he and wife Louisa provide to son Conor, who has Down’s Syndrome, the ex-Everton midfielder added: “I definitely live in the real world.“My house is very grounded. We have the same struggles and challenges that everyone does.“Living with a child with special needs, I’m definitely well involved with the reality of fundraising and statements, and education, and making sure that he’s getting equal opportunities.”Carsley promises “two or three changes” but not wholesale ones tonight.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSOne man hoping for his first start is Angel Gomes, who made his debut in the 2-0 win over Republic of Ireland.The 5ft 6in midfielder, 24, has been in France at Lille for the last four years. Roy Keane slams ‘arrogant’ England as ‘awful’ despite interim boss Lee Carsley winning on debut against IrelandCarsley said: “We must get our eyes used to having this sort of player.“He’s not box-to-box, he’s not massively physical, but technically he can control a game from the middle of the pitch with his positioning and his technique.“If we’re going to win a major tournament, we need variety.”Carsley plans to speak to predecessor Gareth Southgate and his old No 2, Steve Holland, after the game to ask their opinion on his first camp.England Player Ratings vs IrelandDECLAN RICE silenced his Irish critics with a dominant display in England’s Nations League opener.Lee Carsley’s players handed him a debut win as interim manager of the Three Lions.Rice starred in the first half as he netted the opener and then set up England’s second goal.Jack Grealish doubled up for England after being set up by Rice 15 minutes later.Anthony Gordon however faded in the match as he was not able to have as much success as Grealish.SunSport’s Charlie Wyett has rated England’s players’ performance against Ireland…JORDAN PICKFORD – 6Pushed away a half decent shot from Sammie Szmodics at the start of the game but as England took control, he had a stress-free game.After a difficult couple of weeks with Everton, he would have been grateful for this. TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD – 7Looked more at home at right-back compared to the disastrous midfield experiment at the Euros.Stunning pass in a move that eventually led to the first goal. He has to remain as England’s right-back. MARC GUEHI – 7Enjoyed a decent Euros and switched over to the right of central defence as John Stones was named on the bench.Looks increasingly like a top-drawer defender. HARRY MAGUIRE – 7Was left devastated after failing to make the Euro 2024 squad but he has enjoyed a decent start with Manchester United and looked solid here.When he is not in the team, England do miss his aerial presence. 7LEVI COLWILL – 7Second appearance for England and was deployed at left-back.Unlike the Euros, England have much better balance in defence with a natural left footer in this position. 7DECLAN RICE – 9Enjoyed an absolute stormer in what could have been a difficult afternoon.Booed every time he touched the ball, the former Irish international quietened the boisterous home fans with a brilliant finish although refused to celebrate.He then set up the second for Grealish. KOBBIE MAINOO – 7Fits perfectly into Carsley’s style of play. Some of his passing was excellent, particularly in the final third of the pitch, and this included his part in the outstanding second goal. BUKAYO SAKA – 7Enjoying a terrific start to the season with Arsenal – he has been nominated as their player of the month – and played with plenty of confidence here.Was involved in the second goal.JACK GREALISH – 8Left out of the Euros squad, but loved every minute of this.A decent finish for 2-0 and unlike Rice, celebrated in front of the visiting fans by raising both arms in triumph.ANTHONY GORDON – 6Looked really lively early on but faded.He should have put England ahead when clean through but was lucky that seconds later, Rice hammered his shot into the corner. 6HARRY KANE – 6Missed with a header and despite working hard, did not actually have that many chances despite England having so much possession. SubsGibbs-White (for Grealish 77 mins) 6, Gomes (for Mainoo 77) 6, Eze (for Gordon 77 mins) 6, Bowen (for Kane 84 mins) 6, Stones (for Maguire 85) 6.Subs not used: Henderson, Pope, Lewis, Gallagher, Livramento, Konsa, Madueke.

      BOTH Alexander Isak (£5m) and Anthony Gordon (£4.5m) are among the top five most transferred-out Dream Team players ahead of Gameweek 4.The former scored his first goal of the season just prior to the international break when Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-1 at St James’ Park.The Sweden striker has also provided two assists already in 2024/25.Isak still features in 27.5% of teamsCredit: GettyIsak’s tally of 25 points may pale in comparison to the humongous totals of Erling Haaland (£8.8m) and Mohamed Salah (£7.3m) – who have plundered 59 and 45 points respectively – but it’s a healthy return from just three Gameweeks.Even so, only Declan Rice (£3.9m) and Phil Foden (£6.2m) have been ditched by more Dream Team managers during the break.As for Gordon, he has mustered 22 points to date; a respectable tally but one that doesn’t quite align with his immense pre-season popularity.The England international took Bournemouth for 13 points in Gameweek 2 with a lively showing but he’s made little impact in his other three outings so far.As a result he’s currently the fourth-most transferred-out asset ahead of Gameweek 4.Gordon produced a fine showing against the Cherries but has struggled for points elsewhereCredit: AlamyOn the surface, this may seem rather curious.Newcastle are fifth in the table, undefeated in all competitions, and due to face 18th-placed Wolves on Sunday.Most read in FootballOnly Everton have conceded more league goals than Gary O’Neil’s side at this stage – it would not come as a surprise if Isak and Gordon prospered at Molineux.However, dig a little deeper and it’s easier to understand why so many gaffers are changing strategy.Score PredictorPlay Score Predictor with Dream Team this season!FREE to play£250 weekly prizePredict scores of five selected Premier League fixtures and earn points for accuracyMost points wins weekly cash prizePLAY NOWThe Magpies are one of just seven teams without two fixtures to fulfil in Gameweek 4.After a full round of Premier League games, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa begin their Champions League campaigns in midweek with a further nine top-flight clubs in Carabao Cup action.This is partially readdressed in Gameweek 5 when Eddie Howe’s side will be among the ten teams with two fixtures: Fulham (a) and AFC Wimbledon (a).However, Gameweek 6 brings a meeting with Manchester City, which is about as unfavourable as it gets.Newcastle lack European commitments this seasonCredit: GettyThe broader picture is that Newcastle will play four games across the next three Gameweeks, including that tricky match-up with Pep Guardiola’s machine.For comparison, Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa, Spurs and Man United will fulfil SIX fixtures each in the same time frame.Fixture count isn’t the only thing to consider when making transfers but it’s certainly an important factor.Additionally, while Newcastle’s results have been healthy enough, their performances haven’t been all that convincing.READ MORE SUN STORIESIn fact, only Ipswich have registered fewer shots than Howe’s troops while no team have faced more shots.Isak and Gordon are excellent players but it’s hard to argue against gaffers who are now looking elsewhere.BetMGM sign up offerBetMGM: Get £60 in free bets — HERE*New cust only. 7 days to opt in by placing a £10 qualifying bet at 1/1 (2.0) odds or greater to receive 6x Free Bets: 1 x £10 horse racing, 2 x £10 Bet Builder, 2 x £10 Acca and 1 x £10 football. 7 day expiry.
