A Liverpool star once took a group of girls on a drunken tour of the club’s training ground after a Christmas night out. And the cheeky ace went so far as to claim he lived on the grounds, leading to an awkward conversation about the state of the sleeping arrangements.
Andy Carroll released his new memoir, Owning It, which offers fans a deeper look into his time in the Premier League. In the book, the 37-year-old striker detailed his first festive outing with the Reds and the chaotic escapade at Kirkby that followed.
He explained: “When my first Christmas at Liverpool came around, I thought we’d go somewhere really classy for our party – maybe a weekend in Spain or Portugal – but they booked a club in Manchester instead. We still had a good night and when it was over, some random girls we’d met decided to get the bus home with us.

“Everyone was drunk and giddy and seeing the funny side, but the closer we got to Liverpool, the more I started thinking, What is actually going to happen here? When we get back, we’ll all have our own car to take us home. What are the girls gonna do?”
Carroll’s genius idea of returning to the training ground and claiming it as his own property soon descended into hilarity as he continued: “As it transpired, a few of us younger lads decided to style it out and invite the girls into the training ground; and as we were wandering around, one of the girls said, So, whose house is this?’
“I thought she was joking at first, but I don’t think she was, and I decided to play along. ‘A few of us live here, I said. ‘Do you like it? Here, I’ll show you our football pitches.

“I also showed them our massive pool and gym, and when we reached the canteen, the girl said, Why do you have such a huge kitchen? We do like to entertain, I replied.”
When the living arrangements were discussed, Caroll ran into some issues. He added: “The players had their own bedrooms upstairs, which blew her mind. Why are they all so tiny? Why have you got a single bed and no window?
“‘I just like my bedrooms to be as small and dark as possible..?’ We eventually started panicking, gave the girls money for a taxi back to Manchester, and got the hell out of Dodge.”
