METRO – Andy Carroll is worse than my eight-year-old grandson, says Poland legend

Polish legend Zbigniew Boniek has mocked England’s Andy Carroll by saying his eight-year-old grandson is a better footballer than the £35million man. Andy Carroll became Britain’s most expensive footballer following his £35million move to Liverpool in 2011 (Picture: Daily Mail) The former Juventus and Roma forward’s comments come ahead of England’s World Cup qualifier in Warsaw tonight, where Roy Hodgson’s side will be hoping to extend their lead at the top of Group H. ‘My grandson Mateo moves better on the pitch than Andy Carroll,’ said Boniek, who was named by Pele among his top 100 players of all time and is set to be named president of the Polish FA. ‘He has better co-ordination. He is very good at golf and tennis.’ 23-year-old Carroll, who has returned to the England squad following a hamstring injury he picked up on his West Ham debut earlier this season, endured a torrid 18-month spell at Liverpool before joining the Hammers on a season-long loan over the summer and has since begun to show some of his former quality. He made a second-half substitute appearance in England’s 5-0 win over San Marino last Friday, which he will be hoping to convert to a place in the starting 11 for tonight’s clash.
