Scott Carson - retires age 40 (p5)

[Skrastins]

We should name a bench after him, probably greatest 3rd choice gk ever

 

[KS55]

Held in the highest esteem at City for his contribution to the dressing room and helping young players as well as solid training work and the very occasional appearance. The sort of pro every club wants.

Also well up for getting involved against Athletico in CL. Seemed very popular in the squad, may reappear in a coaching role.

A sad day for mankind.

I was going to post he will probably end up sharing a podcast with Foster. Then I saw this.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Must have the best minutes to trophy ratio in the world.

107 mins played
12 trophies.

 

[Ysabel 123]

He spent 9 seasons at Liverpool(3) & City(6) playing five times combined, winning 5 trophies

2 Champions Leagues
2 Super Cups
1 World Club cup

Have any other players won the Champions League/European Cup for 2 different teams in the same stadium?

I love how desperate Ben Foster does absolutely anything to try and stay relevant, Podcasts, Cycling, Cameras behind the goal, Talksport, coming out of retirement to sign for Wrexham for the fans!


Scott Carson got £30k a year to keep Ederson company and collect medals!

Serious question, has any other keeper won the Champions league twice and been in a Premier League winning squad?

 

[Ysabel 123]

I reckon he earned in excess of £10m with us.

Worth every penny, just read how Ederson speaks about Carson and how important it was that he was a laugh every time the team was under pressure.

There is a reason Pep wanted him in the dressing room for the last 6 years!

Lets be honest, he was more of a coach/mate than a player!

He will be back coaching at City in some capacity hopefully!

 

[Ysabel 123]

He's achieved more than most footballers ever will do yet I can't help but feel when he's telling his Grandkids about when he was a player he won't have many stories to tell! Good luck in retirement Scott, he was obviously very useful and well liked behind the scenes.

He got £30k a week for playing one game in 6 years.

That's £9.3m for playing one game. Whilst playing for Pep Guardiola!

I bet his Grandkids would be buzzing with stories like that!!

I've just watched this and I've never watched a Bed Foster Podcast before but it was... Ok. Carson wasn't as interesting as I hoped. Although I found Carson's answer about him not feeling he earned some of his medals at City a bit sad. He deffo earned them

It suggested Foster's Nedum Onuoha interview/podcast though and it's great. Really interesting. Highly recommended.

I wouldn't be surprise if he started coaching some of the academy keepers at some level, u16s or below.

Seems very well liked by players, staff and board alike at the club and his experience was obviously valued considering how long we kept him around as 3rd choice keeper.

Anytime Nedum is talking it's a brilliant listen. The guy is like gold dust in the ex-pro pundit scene. Intelligent, well spoken, insightful (understands not just tactics but people too), likeable and never says anything deliberately controversial just to get attention. Honestly no one like him really, which is a shame. My guess as to why is those sorts of players end up coaching, and usually at least somewhat succesfully (Kompany, Guardiola, Vieira, even Lampard).

Talksport reported it and said amongst his career he won the CL - with Manchester City.

If RAWK has a media thread I would imagine it’s frothing at the mouth.

I believe Scott played four Champions League games and has two winner's medals.

Plus an utter gentleman, kind and caring. Ned is a Superstar. :-)
