Carroll Wows Kids In Singapore

Andy Carroll yesterday entertained disadvantaged children and youngsters with disabilities on the final day of Liverpool's 2011 Asia tour in Singapore.

The No.9 was joined at the event - organized by the official LFC fan club in Singapore - by Conor Coady, Andre Wisdom, Daniel Ayala, Brad Jones and four of the Reds' community coaches.

The footballers played head tennis and took turns in goal for shooting drills before posing for photographs, signing autographs and playing games.

"I think the kids enjoyed it," claimed Carroll after the event. "I know we certainly did. They were good at the head tennis, a lot better than Conor and Andre anyway!

"I enjoy doing this sort of thing and it's great to come to events like this as you can see what it means to the children."

Mark Bygroves, from the LFC in the community team, branded the event a real success.

"The players were absolutely brilliant with the kids," he said. "They all got really involved from the minute they arrived to the minute they left. This sort of thing is exactly what Liverpool Football Club should be doing when it comes to places like Singapore."
