Liverpool secured the record signing of England striker Andy Carroll from Newcastle United on January 31, 2011.
With power, pace and a penchant for rippling the net, our new No.9 is one of the brightest prospects in British football.
Carroll knows all about playing in a pressured environment having worn Alan Shearer's legendary shirt in front of the Toon Army.
Liverpool's scouts first become aware of his abilities having seen him at close hand during the FA Youth Cup semi-final in March 2007. Although Newcastle were well beaten, Carroll scored in the first leg at St James' Park and was a real handful throughout.
Liverpool and Newcastle legend Kevin Keegan once described Carroll as 'Probably in the top three headers of a ball I have ever seen in football.'
After graduating through the Toon Academy, he became Newcastle's youngest ever European debutant when he played against Palermo during a 1-0 UEFA Cup win in 2006 at the age of 17.
The striker scored his first senior goal against Juventus in a friendly on July 29, 2007. After the game the Juventus 'keeper Gianluigi Buffon tipped Carroll to have a big future.
He then fired his first league goal on his full home debut against West Ham on January 10, 2009.
Despite Newcastle's relegation from the top flight in 2008-09, they made an instant return after a Carroll-inspired season in the Championship. Defences were sick of the sight of this marauding hitman as he hit 19 goals.
Carroll was also recognised by his peers when he was included in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.
At the start of the 2010-11 season he was given a major confidence boost when he was handed Shearer's famous No.9 shirt in Tyneside.
He soon began to do it justice when he netted his first senior hat-trick for Newcastle in their 6-0 thrashing of Aston Villa on August 22, 2010.
His performances hadn't gone unnoticed at international level either and Fabio Capello couldn't hold him back any longer as he made his England debut wearing the No.9 shirt v France on November 17, 2010.
It was hardly a classic display from Capello's team but the performance of Carroll certainly gave the international team a bright hope for the future.
It was turning out to be quite a season for the young forward, who would make his Liverpool bow as a substitute in a 3-1 victory over Manchester United on March 6, 2011.
Three weeks later, on March 29, there was another picturebook moment: a first England goal in a friendly against Ghana at Wembley.

Der Nobody, der ein Fußballstar werden muss, Andy Carroll
(sir) Seit Montag ist für den 22-jährigen Stürmer Andy Carroll alles anders. Entweder wird er ein Superstar oder der teuerste Fehler in der Geschichte des Liverpool FC. Eine andere Option gibt’s nicht.
Der Engländer ist international bisher kaum aufgefallen, dennoch zahlte Liverpool 35 Millionen Pfund (41 Millionen Euro) an Newcastle. Carroll ist damit der teuerste englische Spieler aller Zeiten.
Sicher, Carroll hat enorme Anlagen, ist sehr kopfballstark, treffsicher und wird schon längst mit Newcastle-Legende Alan Shearer verglichen. Aber
41 Millionen Euro? In englischen Medien herrscht Verwunderung über diese Ablösesumme. Und der einmalige Teamspieler wollte auch nicht so recht wechseln. "Sie haben mich hinausgeworfen", sagte er.
Vielleicht stimmt das auch, denn 41 Millionen Euro sind viel und die Liste von Carrolls disziplinären Vergehen lang: Pub-Schlägereien, Prügeleien mit Teamkollegen, nächtliche Ausflüge. Zu Neujahr soll er sich bei einem Sturz von einem Barhocker verletzt haben. Das wird er nun unterlassen müssen. Denn nun ist er viel wert. Viele, viele Millionen.
