I think he may have only scored one but one game v Bolton we won 4/5-1 he absolutely battered Knight and Cahill and those pair are no pushovers physically.
Took my sister to this game - 5-1!
She hadn't been to VP for about 40 years!
She fell in love with JC that day....and who wouldn't! The ball just seemed to stick to his feet!


(I am trying to get her down to VP a bit more often - she seriously thinks she is our good luck charm! Speaks volumes!  Happy to organise a whip round to buy her tickets on a regular basis!!! Please send donations to.....)

Carew had a good career but with a bit more dedication it could've been an Ibrahimovich type career than playing for elite clubs like Inter Milan and Barca rather than 2nd tier ones like us, Valencia and Roma.

Still I remember him fondly, gave us some great memories and his goalscoring record in the league was generally good. Supertom is spot on with his analysis.
