Heroes week on ManUtd.com will reveal who the current United players admired most when they were growing up. Reds midfielder Michael Carrick kicks us off with three former England stars...
I had a few football heroes when I was growing up, and I admired them for different reasons.
Peter Beardsley was a big favourite - I followed Newcastle as a young lad and I just loved the way he played the game.
Paul Gascoigne was another hero of mine. He was an unbelievable player, an absolute genius in fact. I remember watching him at the 1990 World Cup and he was just brilliant. He was a great character as well, he enjoyed playing the game and had fun doing it.
I've been lucky enough to meet Gazza a few times and he's a great lad. The first time I met him was a bit surreal, as it was when I met Beardsley who I’ve since got to know quite well.
Ian Wright was someone else who I enjoyed watching, more for his goal celebrations than anything else!
I wasn't a fan of Arsenal or anything, I just loved the way he played with a smile on his face. He seemed to have a new goal celebration every week and me and mates at school would always try and copy them.
I eventually ended up playing alongside Wrighty at West Ham - it's crazy how things work out in football sometimes!
