- Michael Carrick (born 28 July 1981) is an English footballer who since Wednesday 27th May 2009 has perfected the art of disappearing for a couple of hours whilst on a football pitch. Carrick began his career at West Ham United, where he initially showed some promise in a team which featured the likes of Paolo DiCanio, and fellow prospects such as Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Rio Ferdinand. His manager at the time Harry Redknapp declared that he thought Carrick would be a top, top player. Carrick was part of the team which was relegated in 2002/3 season and was part of one unsuccessful campaign in trying to achieve promotion. Carrick then left West Ham to join a club "which matched my ambition". Maybe he didn't know he had signed for perennial underachievers Tottenham Hotspur.

- Michael Carrick (born 28 July 1981) is an English footballer who since Wednesday 27th May 2009 has perfected the art of disappearing for a couple of hours whilst on a football pitch. Carrick began his career at West Ham United, where he initially showed some promise in a team which featured the likes of Paolo DiCanio, and fellow prospects such as Frank Lampard, Joe Cole and Rio Ferdinand. His manager at the time Harry Redknapp declared that he thought Carrick would be a top, top player. Carrick was part of the team which was relegated in 2002/3 season and was part of one unsuccessful campaign in trying to achieve promotion. Carrick then left West Ham to join a club "which matched my ambition". Maybe he didn't know he had signed for perennial underachievers Tottenham Hotspur. Carrick had two reasonably successful seasons at Tottenham, and joined Manchester United for the frankly ludicrous sum of £18.6 million. At West Ham and Tottenham, Carrick had established himself as a player who had an eye for a pass and who could play the deep-lying midfield position. Carrick enjoyed three relatively successful seasons at Manchester United as he was used as part of a squad, before he went missing at 1945 in Rome in the 2009 Champions League final. He reappeared as soon as the final whistle went and has perfected his art of going missing during play ever since. This leaves United having to play each match with just a mere 13 men, however three of these are the referee and his two assistants so there is no need at all to feel sorry for them. There have been many theories as to where Carrick buggers off to during matches. Suggestions have included playing the role of Harry Potter in his invisible cloak, going down to the bookies to place the manager's bet on his horses and getting lost in one of those ugly twin-Brazilian kid's afros. Despite having spent nearly two years vanishing during matches, in early 2011 Carrick was awarded a new United contract. This was a decision no sane human being could understand, and the only logical reason that has been put forward is that unlike some players at the club, he does not shag grandmothers, shag prostitutes, suffer punishments at the hands of the FA, does not have a purple nose from being an alcoholic, and Carrick is a real household name and favourite in Micronesia, which helps the club's merchandise no end and ensures that they still have no fans who actually inhibit the city the team is supposedly from and where they play their home games. In other words Carrick is a quiet goody two-shoes. Unsurprisingly Carrick has not played in many England matches, although he has somehow been to two World Cups. Players like Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Owen 'Sicknote' Hargreaves, Scott Parker, Gareth Barry, Jack Wilshere and Seth Johnson have all been responsible for keeping Carrick away from serving the national team and preventing making England an even bigger global laughing stock than they are currently are. Extremely unfairly, Carrick has an impressive medal haul. Whereas legends of English football including Sir Bobby Moore, Sir Tom Finney, Paul Gascoigne, Steven Gerrard and Nat Lofthouse have not won the League Title, Carrick has on three occasions. In terms of how unfair this is, it is comparable to Djimi Traore and Igor Biscan having won the Champions League and Shaun Wright-Phillips being an England player, despite all three having similar abilities to that of the average Sunday league footballer.
- Michael Adrian Carrick (28. Juli 1981) er en Engelsk fotballspiller som spiller for klubben Manchester United og Englands landslag. Carrick begynnte sin karriere som proff i West Ham. Der var han et ungdommsprodukt sammen med bla. Frank Lampard og Rio Ferdinand.left|thumb|111px Han ble tatt opp på førstelaget i 2000, men fikk lite spilletid og ble utlånt til Leage One-Klubben Swindon Town, og deretter Birmingham som på daværende tidspunkt (2002) spilte på Englands nest høyeste nivå, The Championship. Han returnerte til West Ham etter de oppløftende utlånene, men fikk overraskende ikke ny kontrakt og ble solgt videre til Tottenham. Der viste han seg å være en god ballvinner, men ingen målscorer. Samtdig med Carricks overgang til Tottenham hadde Uniteds mangeårige kaptein Roy Keane meldt sin overgang til Celtic. Etter år med nye vrier med bla. John O'Shea, Juan Sebastian Veròn, Kleberson og Darren Fletcher, fikk uniteds manager Sir Alex Ferguson øynene opp for Carrick under VM i Tyskland i 2006. Carrick spilte bare en kamp (Mot Ecuador), men imponerte likevel mange. Skotten la øyeblikkelig inn bud på Carrick, og like før sesongen 2006/2007 ble Carrick Unitedspiller for 26 millioner pund. Carrick hadde en noe treg start i den røde trøyen, men fikk spille mange kamper etter debyen mot Charlton, og er nå fast innevetar i Uniteds startoppstilling.

- Michael Carrick (born 28 July 1981) is an English footballer who currently plays as a Central Defensive Midfielder. Carrick previously played for both West Ham and Tottenham, but made his club/international breakthrough at United. It’s amazing to think Michael Carrick had his detractors at the start of his United career, with some grumblings about his transfer fee - £14m rising to £18.6m with add-ons. Even after his debut 2006/07 season, in which he carved out a formidable partnership with Paul Scholes as the Reds reclaimed the title, some people predicted he’d slip down the pecking order after the arrival of Owen Hargreaves. But not a bit of it. Carrick has become ever more important to United, maturing into one of English football's most sophisticated and classy passing midfielders. The first of Carrick's two league titles with United to date was also the first major honour of his professional career, although he did win the FA Youth Cup with West Ham in 1999, scoring twice in the 9-0 final demolition of Coventry City. West Ham loaned Carrick out to Swindon in 1999/2000 and then Birmingham in 2000/01 when he earned a nomination for the PFA Young Player of the Year, eventually won by Liverpool's Steven Gerrard. Carrick spent much of the 2002/03 season sidelined with injury. West Ham were relegated at the end of it but rather than join Joe Cole, Fredi Kanoute and Jermain Defoe in an exodus, Carrick stayed for a season in the Championship. However, after losing the 2004 play-off final to Crystal Palace, Carrick decided he couldn't wait another year for a return to the Premier League and moved across London to join Tottenham in a transfer worth £2.75m. He blossomed into an accomplished midfielder in two seasons at White Hart Lane. However, he only scored two goals in 64 games and it seemed this low strike-rate would continue at United, at least for the first few months. Encouraged by Sir Alex Ferguson to push forward, Carrick eventually weighed in with six strikes from midfield in 2006/07. His first was a well-taken half-volley against Aston Villa at Old Trafford on 13 January 2007; his second, at home to Reading in the FA Cup, was shortlisted for the club's Goal of the Season award (won by Scholes away to Villa). His other goals included two in the 7-1 rout of Roma. Carrick may have only scored three goals in 2007/08 but his all-round contribution to the cause could not be questioned as the Reds were crowned Champions of England and Europe. No wonder then that club and player agreed a new four-year deal in May 2008, to keep Carrick at United until June 2012. After missing nine games early in the 2008/09 season with an ankle injury, Carrick returned to establish himself as the lynchpin of United's midfield, finishing with 43 appearances in all competitions and scoring a memorable late winner at Wigan in May to take the Reds to the brink of the title.
