NUFC: 10 People Who Will Get The Loudest Boos At St James Park This Season

3. Andy Carroll

The whole truth behind Andy Carroll's shock move to Liverpool in 2011. Carroll insisted he was forced out of Newcastle, but the Magpies claimed he had handed in a transfer request after they turned down Liverpool's £30 million bid. Regardless, the Newcastle fans have revelled in striker's poor form since leaving St James' Park and he was booed by the supporters when he made his first return to Tyneside during Newcastle's 2-0 win over Liverpool in 2012. He was sarcastically cheered when he was substituted in the second half of the same game and did not improve his relations with the home faithful when he was booked for rounding goalkeeper Tim Krul and then choosing to dive rather than tuck the ball goal-wards.
