Roy Carroll D.O.B. 30/9/77 Nationality Great Britain (UK) City of Birth Enniskillen, N. Ireland Weight 69.84 kg Height 188 cm Team Manchester United Position Goalkeeper Roy Eric Carroll was born in Belfast in September 1977. His footballing career started when he signed with Hull City as a youth trainee in the September of 1995. After making 50 appearances for Hull, he joined Wigan Athletic for a record fee of £350,000, in April 1997. He soon established himself as first choice at Wigan, making 170 appearances for the Club. In season 1999/2000 Roy played a major part in Wigan's run of 26 league games without defeat at the start of the campaign. For such stunning displays Carroll was recognised by his fellow professionals with a selection to the PFA award winning Division Two side. The end of that season saw Roy miss several games, including the play-off defeat by Reading, due to an appendix operation.In July 2001, Roy Carroll completed a dream move to Old Trafford after a move to Leicester City fell through. Sir Alex Ferguson snapped up the young keeper to strengthen his senior goalkeeping department, believing him to be one of the most promising keepers in Britain.A full international, Roy Carroll won his first cap for Northern Ireland on 21 May 1997 against Thailand.With stiff competition from Fabien Barthez, Roy found it difficult to break into the first team and make the number one jersey his own. But he proved a more than able deputy - no more than towards the end of the 2002/03 season when the Reds were closing in on leaders Arsenal for the title. Barthez picked up an injury and Roy stepped up to complete the ten appearances needed for the first Premiership medal of his career
