Andy Carroll is dominating the headlines for West Ham United and rightly so following his wonder goal against Crystal Palace and an impressive brace against Middlesbrough last weekend.
The Hammers striker may have suffered a frustrating start to the campaign but he has come back with a point to prove and is producing his best form with three goals in the last two games.
There is no question of Carroll's importance to the team as West Ham have won five of the seven games he has started this season.
The talented striker is also enjoying life away from the pitch as he spends quality time with his fiancé Billi and son Arlo.
Carroll has relished the opportunity to become a father again and loves nothing more than to spend time at home with his family.
The 28-year-old also welcomed another new addition to the Carroll household last week when he brought home a cane carso dog to add to his two little ones – a miniature pinscher and Russian toy terrier.
With the pressures of the modern day game, the West Ham forward loves nothing more than to clear his mind and hopes the latest arrival will help him relax even more.
“It is good to get out and I spent about an hour taking him for a walk. It definitely helps clear my head and I take him out with the missus and the little one.
“We have a coffee and watch the world go by. It is just nice to chill out and get away from everything.”
Carroll is certainly a busy man and puts in as much effort away from the training ground as he does on the pitch!
But the Hammers strikers says he would not change it for anything and knows the three main groups of people he has to please in his life.
“I am trying my best for the team, the fans and my family. That is who I am doing it for. I can have a laugh at home and with the lads, but when I get on the pitch I work hard.
“My missus keeps me busy at home! There was one morning last week when I took the dog out at 7am, came back and fed the other animals in the house.
“She went off to the gym and I fed Arlo and got him changed before heading off to training. I am the stay at home dad, without staying at home!
“People can call it Mrs Doubtfire but I would rather say Mary Poppins!”
