10 Newcastle Players Who Became Legends In One Moment

3. Andy Carroll Breaks Steven Taylor's Jaw

It might not be the classiest thing to acknowledge the positives in one man breaking the bones of another over something as stupid as a clash of egos and some sexy text messages sent to a shared love interest, but that is exactly what happened when Carroll and Taylor clashed. As the club headed back to the Premier League and with Carroll sitting on 15 goals as the top scorer of his boyhood club, the team-mates allegedly fell out over an ex-girlfriend of Carroll's who had been somehow involved with Steven Taylor - with suggestions of raunchiness. At that point Carroll could do no wrong, he was a Geordie scoring goals in front of the Gallowgate and his commitment to dragging his team back to the Premier League was visible for all to see. Taylor, on the other hand, had been suggesting he wouldn't sign a new contract, and that he'd like a bigger club through his annoying agent Willie McKay, and the clash of Taylor/Carroll pretty much became the people (through the striker) versus Taylor. And as far as the fans were concerned, the right party won.
