Roy Carroll

Carroll was brought up in Tamlaght, County Fermanagh, and began his career with local sides Fivemiletown United and Ballinamallard United. In November 2001, Carroll received a Red Cross Humanitarian Award for his kindness to a child with leukemia. In November 2006, he entered rehabilitation for alcohol-related addiction. 'Stress' was cited by the Carroll family.

Hull City

Carroll joined Hull City in September 1995 as a trainee and went on to make 50 appearances for the club in all competitions but he was sold two seasons later to pay off Hull's mounting debts.

Wigan Athletic

Carroll signed for Wigan Athletic in April 1997 for a then club-record £350,000. Despite this, he would have to wait seven months to make his first appearance in November 1997 when he replaced Lee Butler in a 2–1 defeat of Watford. He made 170 appearances in all competitions in four years. He played a key role in Wigan's unbeaten run of 26 league games in 1999–2000 and was voted the best goalkeeper in the second division by his fellow professionals, a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact he missed the last seven games of the season having had to undergo an emergency appendix operation. Despite speculation of a move to a Premier League club, Carroll remained at Wigan for the 2000–01 season, during which he went on to keep 13 clean sheets in 34 first-team games to help his team reach the play-offs for a second consecutive season. In the play-off semi final second leg against Reading the aggregate score was 1-1 as the game entered the final minute. Reading were awarded a penalty which Carroll saved from Jamie Cureton, but Nicky Forster scored from the rebound to send Reading through.

Manchester United

He was signed by defending Premier League champions Manchester United in July 2001 for an undisclosed fee believed to be £2.5…

Carroll gained his first full international cap on 21 May 1997 in a game against Thailand. For many years, Carroll fought a losing battle to be Northern Ireland's first-choice keeper to the experienced Maik Taylor. Despite this, Carroll had still amassed 19 caps up to September 2006. The last of these 19 caps came in a Euro 2008 qualifying match against Spain at Windsor Park. Northern Ireland pulled off a memorable 3–2 win, but Carroll had to be substituted after only 12 minutes due to a groin injury. After a six-year absence from the international team, Carroll was named in the friendly squad to face the Netherlands on 2 June 2012. He came on as a substitute for the second half, conceding two goals as Northern Ireland lost 6–0. He made his competitive return to the Northern Ireland team on 7 September 2012, when he started in Northern Ireland's 2–0 defeat away to Russia in their opening qualifier for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In May 2013, Carroll was named the Northern Ireland International Personality of the Year. In May 2016, he was named in Northern Ireland's squad for UEFA Euro 2016.
