Career & Clubs

Career

Manchester City

Carrodus had to compete with Francis Lee for a place in the City team for the 1974 League Cup final. Lee was declared fit and manager, Ron Saunders dropped Carrodus to the subs bench.

Aston Villa

When Saunders moved to Villa, he bought Carrodus for £90,000 to fill the gap in midfield left by the sale of Bruce Rioch. Carrodus played in the 1975 Football League Cup final. He was to feature in the first two matches of the 1977 League Cup Final but missed out on the victory game having torn knee ligaments in a match against Derby following the first Replay. Carrodus suffered further injuries in the 1978–79 season. He had already missed four games with a thigh strain when a cartilage operation in October sidelined him for two months.
