{"product_id":"andy-carroll-owning-it-in-my-own-words-signed","title":"ARRIVING SOON: Andy Carroll – Owning It: In My Own Words – SIGNED","description":"\u003cp\u003eA deeply personal football memoir from former Newcastle United and West Ham striker Andy Carroll. In January 2011, at the age of twenty-two, Andy Carroll became the most expensive British footballer in history. A Geordie powerhouse, one moment he was the hero of Newcastle United at St James' Park, the next he was boarding a helicopter to Liverpool FC, with a £35-million price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut behind the record-breaking fee lies a far more personal story. For the first time, Andy speaks candidly about the pain of leaving his boyhood club (and later the emotional reality of his high-profile return) and reveals what really happened on that frantic Transfer Deadline Day and what it felt like to be the most talked-about man in the country. With humour and honesty, he also confronts the injury-prone label, a narrative that has followed his career, and speaks about the long, gruelling months in the treatment room and the mental strain it took.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the nightclubs of Newcastle to the quiet streets of France, \u003cem\u003eOwning It\u003c\/em\u003e is more than a football memoir. It's a raw, often humourous story of a career shaped by soaring highs, crushing lows and an unshakeable desire to step back onto the pitch. He may not have been what the pundits wanted – or what the tabloids made him out to be – but he was always Andy Carroll.
