Andy Carroll joins once-giants Bordeaux, now playing in the fourth tier, starting almost from scratch
He was winning cup, scoring goals and playing international football for England. Now Andy Carroll, 35, doesn't want to be famous, he just wants to play the ball, even if it means joining the amateurs.
Because that's exactly where he ended up, as Bordeaux announced that the experienced centre-forward is their latest reinforcement.
Towards the end of his career, he is interested in a simple life far from Great Britain, away from the tabloids, pressure, and recognition on the street, so he can sit in peace with his friends in a cafe and order a beer.
35 year old Andy Carroll was playing in the French div 2 for 'Amiens' (4 goals in 32 games)

Seems he has signed for Bordeaux who were relegated from div 2 to div 4 (Championnat National 2)

Due to huge financial difficulties, Bordeaux was administratively declared bankrupt and will start from scratch, ranking fourth.
At the peak of his career, Liverpool paid Newcastle in January 2011 as much as €41m for Carroll, which is a whole lot of money even in today's circumstances.
