Michael Carrick found himself thrust into regular first-team action at West Ham United at the beginning of 2000-01 due to an injury crisis.
He went on to establish himself as a regular in the first team and indeed rarely missed a match.
An elegant left-sided midfielder who is effective with his passes, both long and short, he seems to have all the time in the world on the ball.
Michael featured regularly for England Under-21s during the campaign and made his full international debut when he came on as a half-time substitute in the friendly game against Mexico in May 2001.
Michael joined Tottenham Hotspur in August 2004 with a four-year contract.
His contract at Manchester United was extended to June 2012 in May 2008, to June 2014 in March 2011, to June 2015 in November 2013, to June 2016 in March 2015, to June 2017 in June 2016 and to June 2018 in May 2017.
