Andy Carroll vs Steven Taylor

Andy Carroll has had his fair share of controversies. In 2010, the North East native was awaiting trial over an alleged assault in a London nightclub. Despite this, the striker was able to shrug off his off-field troubles and was on course to become the leading goal-scorer for his club that season.

However when tempers flared at St. James's Park sometime around March 2010, it threatened to bring his goal-scoring run to an end.

The brawl happened when Andy Carroll discovered that Steven Taylor had been texting his ex-girlfriend for quite some time. Angered by this, he punched his fellow countryman on the jaw, forcing him out of action for the rest of the season.

When the news made it's way to the St. James's faithful, they turned their backs on Taylor and continued to cheer on their 19 goal scoring hero. The broken jaw only stalled the England U-21 captain's injury-plagued career, and destroyed his hopes of representing his nation yet again.
