I think the comparison to Gazza is a bit OTT. Gazza was a mentally unstable wimp with an addictive personality and a weight problem. Carroll is just a young macho Geordie who likes to drink loads (and can hold it because he's fucking rock-hard). He's no different to most of our 70s and 80s players. Obviously the physical demands are higher now, so he might have curb his piss-up sessions a little bit, but I don't see him as the fragile, self-destructive type.

It wasnt a comparison; just suggesting potential dangers that MUST be kept in mind and avoided,Bunny..
