Every 15 minutes bringing home a major title is an "unprecedented" record in world football, the owner of which does not belong to famous superstars like Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar or Benzema, but is a goalkeeper whose name fans have almost forgotten.

The launching pad that brought 37-year-old "spider-man" Scott Carson to glory came from his being an official member of the best team in Europe and the world today - Man City. In his prime, Scott Carson played for Premier League clubs such as Liverpool, Aston Villa, Leeds United, West Brom or teams playing in the English First Division such as Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County.
In July 2019, Scott Carson joined Man City from Derby County, initially on a two-season loan deal. In 2021, he signed an official contract with the Etihad Stadium team on a free transfer. The miracle began here.

The former England goalkeeper has only played twice for Man City in four seasons, and one of these two matches was in the Premier League (against Newcastle in May 2021).
Scott Carson didn’t even get a game last season. Despite being Pep Guardiola’s third-choice goalkeeper, behind Ederson and Stefan Ortega, with only a handful of appearances, the 37-year-old was offered a 12-month contract extension with the English and European champions.
Scott Carson's number of appearances for Man City can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
The reason Man City kept Carson was because of the number of "homegrown" players to meet the player registration regulations in the Premier League.
With his extensive combat experience, Carson is always ready to support his teammates in training and he himself is very aware of always ensuring playing conditions, ready to play when called upon. During his career, the English goalkeeper has made 146 appearances and kept a total of 30 clean sheets in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola is considering giving Carson the role of goalkeeper coach at the Etihad Stadium after his contract ends. That's a matter of the future, but for now, Scott Carson is exciting the British media with interesting statistics about his career.
Having only played twice with 107 minutes in the Man City first team since 2019, Scott Carson still has 8 major titles (3 Premier League titles, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups, 1 Champions League, 1 European Super Cup), which means he is crowned every 15 minutes!

Man City have only won the Champions League and the European Super Cup for the first time, but goalkeeper Scott Carson has won both competitions for the second time. He was the reserve goalkeeper for Liverpool, who won the European Cup in 2004-2005 and then won the European Super Cup in August 2005.
He also had a period of time called up to play for the England team.
Man City fans really love Carson and were excited to see him on the night of their team's victory in Greece. One Twitter user wrote: "Scott Carson has the best job in the world, 'easy work, high salary'. He's just collecting medals for fun." Another fan appreciated: "Once again, Scott Carson wins the prestigious title."
