England Disgrace
Carroll has been involved in many off-the-pitch incidents in his career.
Whilst on international duty, Carroll, Scott Sinclair and Ryan Bertrand were sent home from the England U19s squad after breaking a curfew on 14 October 2007 during preparation for a match against Romania U19s.
On 14 September 2008, Carroll was arrested by police in Newcastle responding to a report that a woman had been assaulted, and later accepted a police caution for assault.
On 7 December 2009, he was arrested in the aftermath of a nightclub fight, again in Newcastle, accused of smashing glass in a man's face.  He was charged with assault and is currently on bail awaiting a Crown Court trial. He was also arrested after an incident on the training ground which allegedly left Steven Taylor with a broken jaw. Carroll reportedly suffered a broken hand in the incident.
On 18 October 2010, Carroll was charged with assaulting a former girlfriend. Claiming self-defence, and having given a local hotel as his address, Carroll was granted bail on the condition that he resides with Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan until the case resumes in January. Two days following his bail, Carroll's car was set on fire whilst parked on Nolan's driveway, with the club captain's garage door also being daubed with obscenities.
Carroll was also involved in a training ground fight with Charles N'Zogbia over a late tackle from the Frenchman.
