      Former England star Andy Carroll reveals he spent £1,000 on exotic cat before giving it away just two weeks later

      by

      FORMER Liverpool and Newcastle striker Andy Carroll has revealed he spent £1,000 on an exotic cat – only to give it away two weeks later.Carroll caused a stir this summer when he left cash-strapped Reading for Ligue 2 French side Amiens – and it’s fair to say not many people saw the move coming.

      Explaining the transfer to the French side located 75 miles north of Paris, Carroll, 34, told The Daily Mail: “I was at Newcastle from seven years old. I made my debut at 17. I just thought, ‘You know what, if I don’t go [abroad] now then I’ll never go’.
      ” I had another season at Reading. I wasn’t playing and I spoke to the manager. He wanted legs up top which is something I don’t have. I was going to say ‘anymore’ but I don’t think I ever had them!
      “I wanted a challenge. A challenge in a completely different country. A fresh start. I spoke to my agent and said, ‘Get me a club abroad’. I came here and it was the one. It’s a one and half hour drive to Calais and I can get the shuttle back to Epping [his family home].”
      Carroll wears the number 99 shirt at Amiens and has one goal from his six games played in the French second division so far.

      He says one of the greatest parts of playing in France is his ability to keep a low profile.
      He revealed he was able to watch Newcastle’s 4-1 thrashing of PSG in “a little pub” near Amiens’ training ground with some of his team-mates.

      He said the best part about it was that: “No one said a word to me.”
      Carroll recounted how having too much money at a young age led to him making some stupid decisions, such as dropping £1,000 on a Bengal cat.

      He said about trying to balance his finances: “It’s hard, really hard. It was just coming in my bank and going straight back out, even though me mam and dad were telling me not to.
      “You’re 17 years old and getting all this money. All your friends haven’t got anything so you take them with you.
      “I wasted money on stupid things. I’d go to Harrods in London and spend five-grand on rubbish. I’d have nothing to show for it. Just gone.
      “In the dressing room everyone’s walking round with Lamborghinis or designer clothes. I’ve got money and I’m thinking ‘They’re doing it… I’ll do it as well’. I wanted an exotic cat. Found this Bengal and got it. Like a thousand pound. I had it for two weeks.”
      After being unable to take care of the animal, he said he gave it away to his parents.
      The striker said he was taken by surprise at his £35million move to Liverpool in 2011, a British record at the time.
      He had started the 2010-2011 Premier League season on fire having just led Newcastle up from the Championship as top scorer and both Spurs and Liverpool showed interest.
      He said he only learned of the transfer from watching Sky Sports News, explaining: “It came up on Sky Sports News saying £30million for Andy Carroll from Tottenham rejected. Then it says Liverpool £35million accepted.

      “I went in to see the manager, he rang the owner and the owner says, ‘Yeah, you’re gone’.”
      He said he struggled to adjust to the step up in professionalism at Liverpool following a more relaxed approach at Newcastle and that he regrets not grasping his opportunity a little more.
      The striker said: “I’m disappointed that I didn’t really grasp Liverpool. I kind of took it for granted. I came out of school, went into Newcastle reserves, went into the first team, signed for Liverpool, played for England.

      “Everything I touched turned to gold. Maybe it went to my head a little bit. I could do no wrong, that sort of thing.
      “I don’t really know what went wrong. Maybe I wasn’t good enough… I don’t know. I just wish I’d grabbed it a little bit more.” More

      “It was scared, he was scared. Six, seven stitches and it was over.
      “Then my dog bit me.”
      Meanwhile, he is trying to get Ngannou, 37, in shape to do in ten rounds what 31 of the Gypsy King’s career opponents have failed to do and put him out for the count.

      “[The biggest upset] in the history of the sport, definitely. There’s no doubt about that.”

      It is alleged they will try and sell the club again in 2025.
      It’s believed they think the financial environment in two years time will attract more bidders.
      Manchester United fans will be furious at the prospect of the current owners sticking around.

      by

      FORMER world champion boxer Glenn McCrory has been cleared of sexual assault after allegedly calling a waitress “pet” and touching her elbow.A jury at the Old Bailey found the star not guilty of three counts of sexual assault after deliberating for just 90 minutes.

      McCrory, 59, had been a guest speaker at the pre-fight dinner before the Anthony Joshua v Oleksandr Uysk world heavyweight title bout at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 26 September 2021.
      He said that he only touched three waitresses’ arms in a bid to get their attention.
      Prosecutors claimed he deliberately used the term ‘pet’ in an overly flirtatious way – but the boxer told the jury the word is commonly used by Geordies.
      The former world champion boxer said when he arrived at the venue the member of staff who greeted him did not know who he was – could not find his name on the guest list.

      McCrory said he had to lean down to speak to her as she was petite and it was noisy, but he had no recollection of touching her.
      He said: “I just leaned down. I may well have touched her elbow but I am a big guy so I would never be forceful.”
      The court was shown CCTV footage of McCrory at the entrance to the dining hall showing him talking with one of the alleged victims.
      It clearly shows him touching her elbow with his hand as he leaned down to speak to her.
      Most read in Boxing
      He told jurors that he was asking her where his table was, and that he touched her elbow due to their height difference.
      Scott Brady, defending, asked: “Do you think you were intending to be flirtatious?”
      The ex-fighter replied: ‘No.’ He also denied winking to her.
      After he had given his speech, which lasted 20-30 minutes, McCrory returned to his table.
      He said he hadn’t been given a starter, after being told one would be kept for him.
      McCrory said when he tried to raise this one of the servers had a “troubled reaction” to his use of the word “pet” while speaking to her.
      He said: “Everyone on the table noticed the reaction.”
      All I wanted to do was get my dinner and watch the fightGlenn McCrory
      McCrory added that in the north-east of England the word ‘pet’ is a term of endearment, and is often used to address young women in the same way you might address a man as ‘mate’.
      He said that when she came back to his table he tried to get her attention to ask her about his starter.
      The boxing star said: “She turned her back on me as I was trying to talk to her, blatantly ignoring me, so I touched her elbow.
      “I was trying to get her attention. She turned around and said it was in the bin.
      “All I wanted to do was get my dinner and watch the fight.”
      CCTV footage played in court showed McCrory interacting with other guests at the event.
      A number of people were taking selfies with the former champion as he hugged and put his arms around them.
      “You are being very tactile with these people,” Mr Brady said.
      McCrory agreed, adding: “If they are being friendly and I am in the right environment.”
      He added that this was the way he normally interacted with others at events like this.
      Mr Brady asked him: “If you touched those waitresses…was there anything sexual about it?”
      McCrory replied: “Absolutely not.” He also said he has poor eyesight, and has scar tissue in his eyes due to congenital problems and damage sustained during his boxing career.
      This can cause him to rub his eyes and blink a lot.
      The women had claimed McCrory touched them in a sexual manner without their consent, repeatedly winked at them and slurred his words.
      It’s how we talk. That’s part of the Geordie.Glenn McCrory
      McCrory – a cruiserweight once known as the ‘Northern Warrior’ – had insisted he was misunderstood and people are friendlier in the north east than in London.
      In his police interview he said he said he had no recollection of touching a waitress, but that if he had done so it would only have been to get their attention.
      He described the service as ‘very poor’ and said one server ‘scarpered’ when he approached her to ask where the toilet was.
      McCrory said that using words like ‘pet’ was normal in the north-east of England, and that he had not intended to cause any offence.
      He explained: “It’s how we talk. That’s part of the Geordie.
      “I very well could have called her a darling, called her a pet, but 100 per cent how we speak.’
      He said that he was unaware anything untoward had happened that night, and that he had been ‘astounded’ when he later received a letter from the police notifying him of the complaints.

      Asked if he had intended to cause any of the waitresses stress or alarm he replied: “Absolutely not.”
      McCrory, of Burnopfield, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, denied and was cleared of three charges of sexual assault.

      The dogs were used as mascots as part of the Colombian Dog Day celebration ahead of the Independiente Medellin clash against Junior de Barranquilla in the BetPlay League.
      This was evident when Colombian outfit Medellin ace Luciano Pons’ dog lifted its leg and relieved itself on team-mate David Loaiza.
      Loaiza did not seem to notice the accident the dog had had as he was then distracted by what his dog was up to.
      His pup had wandered off behind him and a different relief as it pooped on the pitch leaving Loaiza with an embarrassed smile on his face.

      A third wrote: “HAHA the dog he had poos, the other goes and pees on him.”

      After the incident, the players shook the opposing players’ hands and started the match.
      Independiente Medellín tweeted about the dogs after the game as their appearance as mascots was to commemorate them.
      It read: “A special outing in commemoration of the day of the most faithful companion and an invitation to adopt these furry ones who fill our lives with joy.”
      And it appeared that the accidents were good luck as they went on to win the game 1-0 with Pons grabbing the only goal. More

      How Fabinho’s dogs could end up costing him £245k a week as Liverpool star ‘seeks clarity’ over future

      by

      FABINHO’s £40million move to Saudi side Al-Ittihad could be under threat due to his pet dogs.The bizarre hitch in the transfer comes after it emerged that French bulldgogs are banned in Saudi Arabia.

      Fabinho and his wife have two French bulldogs and the midfielder would like to have clarity on whether he can bring his two beloved pets into the country before completing a move.
      A leaked Saudi Arabian document circulating on Twitter suggested that the breed is banned in the country due to being on a list of “dangerous and aggressive” dogs.
      The list can be circumvented however if the dogs are to be used for hunting, serving as a guard dog or if they are seeing dogs for the blind.
      Fabinho is understood to be willing to walk away from the deal if his dogs are not allowed to come with him to Saudi – with reports that the deal is on the brink of collapse due to the unusual issue.

      This comes after Al-Ittihad offered Fabinho £425,000-a-week to join the club.
      The midfielder’s current contract at Liverpool sees him earn £180k-a-week.
      Al-Ittihad are keen to press on with a deal – and were in London this weekend to find an agreement between all parties.
      If an allowance for the dogs is permitted, Fabinho would be the latest high-profile star to join Al-Ittihad.

      The Saudi champions have so far added Ballon D’or winner Karim Benzema and Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante to their squad.
      They also secured the signing of Celtic star Jota last month.
      Fabinho would represent another coup for the club – with the midfielder having won the Champions League, league title, Carabao Cup and FA Cup during his time at Liverpool.
      Fabinho would be joined by Jordan Henderson in swapping Liverpool for Saudi – with the Reds undergoing an unexpected midfield overhaul after receiving lucrative offers from the Saudi League. More
