Michael Carrick`s football career surpasses any other Manager we have ever had by a country mile. He may be at the beginning of his Managerial career - but we cant ignore his achievements which rank him amongst the biggest players in the world game.
* 34 Senior games for England
* 5 Premier League Winners Medals
* F.A Cup
* 2 Football League Cups
* 6 Community Shields
* UEFA Champions League Winners Medal
* UEFA Europa League Medal
* World Club Champions Medal
He only retired 4 years ago and many of his games are within reach of current memory. Particularly, he will be remembered by younger fans, because he is only 41 and been in front of the cameras in big games over his career. His last medal was the Europa League win in 2016.
That doesnt make him a great Manager - but it says a great deal about him as a person, who can absorb and overcome immense pressure and still perform at the highest level.
His reading of other players games, styles of play, adapting to other Managers strategy and tactics and his own abilities - say much about the man.
His calm and measured approach is already filtering through to our players and clearly effecting our game style and play. As a club, as well as our players, there is so much to learn from Michael Carrick. He claimed in his Bristol City Media Conference that "its not about me. Its about the players" - we get his point, but what we have seen [so far] is how his experience and professionalism is pushing the players forward and working as an effective team.
I`ve collated some pictures of moments in Michael Carrick`s career - in no particular order - which dont need sub-text and tell a story in themselves. I hope you find them interesting.
