I never played football, I just stopped others.I played until I was 47, he's got years left yet
What I like, Carrick goes to Howson after every game and puts his arm around him. You can tell Howson respects the advice he's receiving from Carrick.Obviously yes.
"Carrickball" has benefited most our players, but its probably extended Howson's career by at least another year, if not more.
Suits him perfectly and requires a lot less running than some of the other "styles" we've adopted in recent years.
Don't think it's any coincidence Carrick was a premier league regular himself till he was 36. It's not about how fast you can run around if you've got a football brain.
