Synopsis

A 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.

But 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.

From the nightclubs of Newcastle to the quiet streets of France, Owning It 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. This is his untold story.
