Carson reveals: "As a footballer you tend to be travelling a lot, I find reading a book keeps me occupied while I'm travelling and provides a way for me to relax. In Roald Dahl's books his characters are always really colourful and entertaining, in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory there's loads of them all in one book; it's very funny and I hope my little boy will enjoy it in time too."
