Scott Carson’s Net Worth, Salary, Football Career, Honours
Scott Paul Carson was born on the 3rd of September 1985, and he is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Premier League club Manchester City.
Club Career
According to the report from BBC sport, Carson joined the Leeds United academy in 2002, making his full first-team debut for Leeds against Manchester United in February 2004. In the month of January 2005, he moved to Liverpool for a £750,000 fee and was called up for the England senior team later that year. The superstar goal stopper made nine appearances for Liverpool, including the UEFA Champions League quarter-final victory over Juventus in the month of April 2005, before going on loan to Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic and Aston Villa in successive seasons to gain experience. After his return to Liverpool from his loan spell at Aston Villa at the end of the 2007–08 season, he joined West Bromwich Albion for a £3.25 million fee in July 2008.
The report has it that in 2011, he moved to Bursaspor of Turkey. But after two years in Turkey, he moved back to England with Wigan Athletic, where he remained until 2015 when he signed for Derby County. The goalkepeer joined reigning Premier League champions Manchester City on loan in August 2019 to provide cover for Ederson and Claudio Bravo. He signed permanently for Manchester City in 2021.
According to the skysport report, Carson made his first appearance for the England under-21 team in February 2004 and later set a record of 29 caps for the under-21 team. Following the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, Carson made his full debut for the England senior team against Austria in November 2007.
International career
According to BBC sport report, Carson was first called up to the England under-21 squad in the month of October 2003, a month after his 18th birthday, for the 2004 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier against Turkey. However, at the time he was yet to make his competitive debut for Leeds United’s first team, and had previously played only four matches for England at other levels. The player made his under-21 debut in a 3–2 win for England against the Netherlands in the month of February 2004. Again, he was selected in the squad for the 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, and in the third match against Serbia, he earned his 28th under-21 cap, eclipsing the record held by Gareth Barry and Jamie Carragher. Carson’s 29th and final cap came against the hosts, the Netherlands, in the semi-final, which finished level at 1–1 after extra-time. And in the resultant penalty shoot-out, he saved one of the 16 penalties he faced and also scored one himself, but England lost 13–12. Carson has since been overtaken by James Milner as the England Under-21 team’s most-capped player.
