Four seasons each with Wigan Athletic and Manchester United were followed by a transfer to West Ham United in summer 2005.
Carroll spent two years with the Hammers, playing 35 times, including two UEFA Cup ties against Italian side Palermo in September 2006, before joining Rangers in 2007.

The physically imposing centre-half appeared in Bolton’s run to the UEFA Cup Round of 32 in 2005/06 before enjoying further Premier League spells at Newcastle United and Stoke City.
Faye was reunited with Big Sam in east London in August 2011, playing 29 Championship matches as the Hammers won promotion via the Play-Offs.
He repeated that trick with Hull a year later, and hung up his boots after making three Premier League appearances for the Tigers amd a spell with Malaysian side Sabah.
3. Mohamed Diame
Mohamed Diame departed Hull City a hero after scoring the goal which took the Tigers back to the promised land of the Premier League in Maysame scoreline over Crewe Alexandra.
The powerful former Senegal midfielder began his career with Lens in France before playing professionally in Spain with Linares and Rayo Vallecano between 2007-09.
Wigan Athletic brought the Creteil-born player to the Premier League, and he excelled in three years with the Latics before joining the newly-promoted Hammers in June 2012.
The enigmatic Diame scored a memorable winning goal in the 3-1 Premier League win over European champions Chelsea in December 2012.
After two years, 79 appearances and seven goals, Diame moved to Hull in September 2014. His final appearance came at Wembley last year, before he moved to current club Newcastle United.

Australian Richard Garcia was born in Perth in September 1981 and joined the Academy of Football after being scouted at the age of 15.
A versatile forward, Garcia was a key member of West Ham’s 1999 double-winning youth team, scoring in every round of the Hammers’ successful FA Youth Cup run.
A debut arrived at Reading in September 2001, but Garcia joined Colchester United after just 16 senior appearances three years later.
The 35-year-old impressed at Layer Road and was snapped up by Hull on a free transfer in 2007, and he went on to spent five seasons with the Tigers, winning promotion to the Premier League under Phil Brown in 2008.

Last but not least, now 67, Stuart Pearson was born in Cottingham in the East Riding of Yorkshire, just a few miles north west of Hull city centre.
The forward began his time at Hull City as a teenager, winning praise for his clinical finishing and technique.
Pearson scored 44 goals in 129 league appearances in Black and Amber before Manchester United came calling with a cheque for £200,000 in 1974.
Pearson’s 17 goals inspired the Red Devils to promotion to the First Division in 1975, and he then netted in the 1977 FA Cup final.
In 1979, Pearson joined his third and final professional club, West Ham, and famously set up Trevor Brooking’s 1980 FA Cup final header with a mis-directed cross-shot.
Capped 15 times by England, Pearson later went into coaching.
