Edited; Andy Carroll's statistics have been corrected as the numbers were incorrect on the Premier League's official player profile page.

  1. I'm pretty sure you mixed up Carroll's left and right foot. He is left footed so it would be weird if he scored 6 with his weak foot.

  2. Honestly, I think you're right Jeff but that is what it says on his Player Statistics page at premierleague.com where I found these statistics.

    I just went and watched a clip of Carroll's goals on youtube and Carroll's stats appear to be completely off. Here's what I counted:
    5 - Headers
    4 - Left Footed
    2 - Right Footed

    I'm hoping the EPL's official stats aren't that far off for everyone. Good catch Jeff.

  3. Yeah hopefully the rest are correct or that would make your whole list a bit pointless. Still interesting though. Rooney's sounds about right haha.
