Andrew Thomas "Andy" Carroll (born 6 January 1989) is an English footballer who plays for Newcastle United and the England national football team as a striker. Carroll, an occasional scorer in Newcastle's reserve team, was given his first team debut in a UEFA Cup tie against Palermo on 2 November 2006 when he appeared as a late substitute to become the youngest ever player to represent Newcastle in Europe, at the age of 17 years and 300 days.
He made his FA Cup debut on 17 January 2007, appearing as substitute for the last 10 minutes in the 5–1 home defeat to Birmingham City. On 25 February 2007, Carroll made his Premier League debut for Newcastle, coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute in the 1–0 defeat to Wigan Athletic, almost scoring in the process; only a good save from Wigan goalkeeper John Filan prevented him from scoring his first Newcastle goal.
In 2007, he was the recipient of the "Wor Jackie Milburn Trophy", given each year to the rising star of North-East football. On 29 July 2007, Carroll scored his first senior goal in a 2–0 friendly win over Juventus, with a left foot shot. After the match, Carroll received praise from Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, who tipped Carroll to have a big future.
