Football players are often accompanied by a driver in training or in town when they have to spend their leisure time to enjoy themselves. This should be the case of Andy Carroll. According to the Sun”, West Ham's assailant has received a luxury Mercedes taxi from a company owned by former football player Marlon Hareawood. Carroll, in fact, is just the last of the players who bought a car and hired a driver to escort them to town at night, having the opportunity to settle down in the back of the car without looking.

A source close to the English daily has revealed: “Players use them to go out at night and go to practice. They employ a driver and should not wait for a taxi - now they know they have their own luxury vehicle waiting for them. They can afford it. They also use these tools to get to the exercise, and the only thing that players have to do is sit back, avoiding any possible harassment from fans”.
