About Roy Carroll
Roy Eric Carroll (born 30 September 1977) is a Northern Irish professional football coach and former player who played as a goalkeeper. He is best known for his spells at English clubs Wigan Athletic and Manchester United (where he won a Premier League winners medal and the 2004 FA Cup) as well as in Greece with OFI and Olympiacos (where he won the Greek Super League and the Greek Cup twice). Carroll also represented Northern Ireland 45 times at full international level between 1997 and 2017, and was a part of their squad for UEFA Euro 2016. Carroll has also had a one-game managerial career, leading Barnet to a 2–1 victory in the 2011 Herts Senior Cup final against Stevenage. Therefore, he holds the unusual honour of having won a trophy in his only game as a manager. Carroll signed for Wigan Athletic in April 1997 for a then club-record £350,000. Reading were awarded a penalty which Carroll saved from Jamie Cureton, but Nicky Forster scored from the rebound to send Reading through.
