The Sty dwellers were getting all excited this week when there was talk of him joining the great unwashed. :-)

Carew is still only 31...he'll have some regrets when he's retired (and nice nubile women aren't sharing his bed).

Got to laugh, someone I know works for small heath and sent me a message last week to say that Carew was in talks with them and how he was going to come back to VP in a blose shirt and score the winner at the Holte End. He was then supposed to pick up a ball-boy, chuck him into the crowd and run the length of the Holte End giving it the big Steven Carr. I quite enjoyed telling him he has signed for West Ham

I bet Norwegian slammers are more or less like a refurbished Premier Inn, mind.

No recollection at all of him playing for West Ham or Stoke.

Last time I saw him he was in a box just behind me at VP with HRH Prince William, or whatever he's called now.

O'Neill mentioned him a lot in his Villa-chats while hawking his book on Villa podcasts last week (the ignominy the mighty must suffer just to shill some rubes). His fondness for Carew was evident but it sounds like he tested the patience of the manager with off-field distractions.

On his day he was unplayable - on the other days he looked like he was distracted by his life away from football...
