#1 Andy Carroll
Andy Carroll began his career in extremely promising fashion, progressing nicely at Newcastle United. He was having a stellar 2010-11 campaign, which seemed to get even better when Liverpool came calling.

Carroll, along with Luis Suarez, was signed by the Reds to replace the outgoing Fernando Torres. But the then-club record £35 million piled a weight of expectations on the young striker's shoulders, and unfortunately things did not work out too well for Carroll.
He endured a disappointing spell at Anfield, with a hugely inconsistent 2011-12 season. The goals dried up for Liverpool that season, but there was some solace for Carroll and the Reds when he headed in a late winner in the FA Cup semi-final against Everton.
Carroll even scored a goal in the final, but Liverpool were beaten 2-1 by Chelsea. He was loaned to West Ham United the following season and was sold a year later.
Injuries seriously hampered Carroll's career, preventing him from fulfilling his potential.
This summer, Newcastle United signed Carroll on a one-year deal. Thus, he has at least returned to the one place he can call home.
