Andy Carroll has opened up on his pre-match meal at Newcastle and how that compared to his diet after he made the £35million move to Liverpool in January 2011
Andy Carroll has revealed that Kevin Nolan was furious with him for eating a 'Sunday roast' in a local pub before every match while he was playing for Newcastle.
The Gateshead-born striker took that form into the following year and netted 11 times in 19 matches during the first-half of the season. Throughout his time at Newcastle, however, Carroll has admitted he used to have a 'carvery' for his pre-match meal - something Nolan was not happy about. "This one time Kevin Nolan rang me up and said, 'Will you pick me up cos my car's not working… where are you?' I said I'm just having a Sunday roast and he went mental, screamed at me on the phone, 'Are you joking?' and I told him I'd done that forever."
"When I went to Liverpool, everything changed professionally," Carroll added. "We went to a hotel before the game, home and away, and had your pasta and your nice fruit," Carroll continued. I’d been eating Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Now everyone’s telling you what to eat and when to eat.
