Andy Carroll's early disillusionment

Andy Carroll received a red card in his first start for Dagenham & Redbridge in the FA Cup second qualifying round on 13 September.

Andy Carroll returned to England with the National League South sixth division club this summer, but his early days quickly turned into a disaster.

The 36-year-old missed the start of the season with a hamstring injury. When he returned, he came on as a substitute in the 5-2 defeat to Worthing last week, and was even handed a starting spot and captaincy in the FA Cup qualifier against Bedford.

However, that joy was short-lived. Before the end of the first half, Carroll was sent off after a high ball dispute, when his elbow hit his opponent's face too hard. The referee initially hesitated, but then did not hesitate to show a straight red card.

This situation made Carroll the focus of satire on social networks. Many fans sarcastically commented: "So he's missing three more matches", "Poor physical condition and unprofessional, what a great contract", or "Now Carroll can travel with his girlfriend, what a waste".

Dagenham & Redbridge were still leading 1-0 when Carroll left the pitch. But that advantage was short-lived, as Bedford equalised in injury time, forcing a replay on 17 September.

A forgettable start for the former Liverpool striker, who was expected to bring his Premier League experience to help his new club progress, but soon became a burden.
