Carsley is a battling player signed by Blackburn Rovers from Derby County for £3.4million in March 1999 who has a never say die attitude.

In the unlikely event of Hollywood commissioning a movie on the life and times of Aston Villa winger Steve Stone, look-alike Carsley could play the lead role.

However he suffers from a lack of the pace which make Stone’s game and is a no-nonsense midfielder who wins the ball and gives it as early as possible.
