He always looked like he was trying to remember his name.

Makes sense for Ward to shift to Wrexham.

He’s a Wrexham lad after all.

It will be interesting to see if he can play over Okonkwu

Don’t think so.

For a split second I thought he was wearing the white away kit from 17/18.

:joy:

I obviously miss him.

Good to see someone still enjoying their football, whatever the pay.

Good luck to Andy Carroll.

Obviously on the whole he was a poor signing for us, but I still remember some games where he was almost unplayable. The memory fades a bit, and maybe we get kinder as it does, but I thought he was unlucky with injuries.

He was unlucky with injuries in the way someone who doesn’t take their responsibilities as a professional can be “unlucky”. Not just in style, but in terms of attitude to the game I think he was 10 years too late.

Carroll was what a benteke was , what a balotelli was… An abject failure of a transfer.

Atleast we got good money for benteke. But he didn’t suit our style at all.

Just don’t know what the thought process behind balotelli was. Fucking shirked when tackled down the wings. Absolutely abysmal.

Yep, that’s fair enough. I suppose that was the kind bit I was referencing, as the memory sifts out some things with the passage of time. He had his injuries and definitely had his moments as a player, but I recall a player who also liked a tipple and wasn’t the most professional.

Still, the old football romantic in me is glad to see a former player, at the end of his career and long past his best, getting fit to play the game we all love, even if it is at a lower level. Good luck to him.

Im pretty sure one of his injuries came from being pissed and falling off a bar stool :rofl:

Checks out, unfortunately.
