Scott Carson hilariously told a critic to 'do his research' after they claimed that the third-choice Manchester City goalkeeper didn't deserve to be given another Champions League winners' medal.
Carson, 37, watched from the bench as City edged Inter Milan 1-0 in a cagey and competitive final on Saturday, completing an historic treble. Unlike the Premier League, who rule that a player must make at least five appearances during the campaign in order to be eligible, UEFA allow winning teams to hand out 40 gold medals.
So, having been a regular member of the squad throughout City's incredible treble triumph, Carson was awarded his second Champions League winners' medal at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul - the same place where he won his first. The former England international was part of the Liverpool side who famously triumphed there in 2005, although not everyone agrees that he should boast the double honour.
