Andy Carroll threatened at gunpoint
|
|
West Ham United striker Andy Carroll was threatened at gunpoint on his way home from training on Wednesday.
Carroll, 27, was driving home alone to Essex in his £100,000 Mercedes G-Wagon when he was confronted at a junction by two motorcyclists, one brandishing a gun.
They threatened Carroll and demanded he pull over but the West Ham striker, fearing for his life, sped off in a bid to escape.
Driving in a state of panic pursued by the motorbike, Carroll, a source claims, struck several vehicles as he turned and headed back to West Ham’s training ground at Rush Green in Essex, hoping to reach safety and receive help from the club’s security staff.
The would-be assailants failed to keep up with Carroll as he drove at speed. On reaching the training ground he left his top-of-the-range SUV vehicle and ran to reception seeking help. Sources say Carroll was ‘shaken and stunned’.
Team-mates were alarmed as they struggled to take in events and club staff immediately rushed to call police for help. A call was made at 12.45pm and a police response team was sent out. They are continuing their investigations.
Carroll is injured and has not played in the Premier League since the opening day of the season.
On Wednesday night he was recovering from his terrifying ordeal at home where he lives with his fiancee, reality TV star Billi Mucklow, and their one-year-old son Arlo.
A club statement said: ‘West Ham United can confirm an incident targeting one of our players on Wednesday 2 November. The matter is now being handled by the police.’
They are expected to step up patrols and security in the area.
It has been a difficult week for the club following scenes at the London Stadium after their EFL Cup victory against Chelsea. They play Stoke on Saturday but Carroll is not ready to return after his knee injury, the latest in a long line of setbacks.
Manager Slaven Bilic said recently: ‘He’s progressing but it’s not at the speed that we wanted. He’s working hard and getting better every day but he’s still not ready to train with us.
‘I’m speaking to him and to the medical team every day about it. We expected him to be back on the pitch but hopefully in a few weeks’ time he will be back.’

He's BACK (again) tomorrow, or latest Wednesday.
A real shot in the arm to have both him and Sakho back.

Slaven Bilic thinks Andy Carroll is a "really brave man" after the West Ham striker's gunpoint ordeal...
Is this Brave as in Brave Sir Robin in Monty Python and the Holy Grail??
Bravely bold Sir Andy
Rode forth from Rush Green
He was not afraid to die
Oh, brave Sir Andy
He was not at all afraid
To be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Andy
He was not in the least bit scared
To be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out
And his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split
And his body burned away
And his limbs all hacked and mangled
Brave Sir Andy
His head smashed in
And his heart cut out
And his liver removed
And his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped
And his bottom burnt off
And his penis split and his...
"That's... that's enough music for now, lads."
Brave Sir Andy ran away
(No!)
Bravely ran away…
(No I didn't!)

First arrest should be Carroll for stealing a living and impersonating a footballer

The reason he was running away as they were from WADA and the "gun" was a syringe !

I like this bit from Bilic.........
"What can they do? He didn't go somewhere that it would be likely to come into those situations or problems - he just drove home from his work at the training ground to his house.
"He was stopped a couple of minutes from his house, so what can you do? What should they do? Live an isolated life or stop going to grocery stores or driving cars by themselves or have 10 bodyguards or whatever?
"To be fair, it's very good when the players want to be linked with normal people and the fans, to mix with them in pubs and all that after the games.
"The fans and the players love to feel that bond between themselves and if we lose that what's the point in playing football at all?"
