Carroll has also had a one-game managerial career, leadingBarnetto a 2–1 victory in the 2011Herts Senior Cupfinal againstStevenage.Therefore, Carroll holds the unusual honour of having won a trophy in his only game as a manager.[2]
Early career and personal life
editCarroll was brought up inTamlaght, County Fermanagh,and began his career with local sidesFivemiletown UnitedandBallinamallard United.
In November 2001, Carroll received a Red Cross Humanitarian Award for his kindness to a child withleukemia.[3][4]In November 2006, he entered rehabilitation for alcohol-related addiction.[5]'Stress' was cited by the Carroll family.[6]
Club career
editHull City
editCarroll joinedHull Cityin September 1995 as a trainee and went on to make 50 appearances for the club in all competitions[7]but he was sold two seasons later to pay off Hull's mounting debts.[4]
Wigan Athletic
editCarroll signed forWigan Athleticin April 1997 for a then club-record£350,000.[8]Despite this, he would have to wait seven months to make his first appearance in November 1997 when he replacedLee Butlerin a 2–1 defeat of Watford. He made 170 appearances in all competitions in four years.[7]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,[4]a feat made all the more remarkable by the fact he missed the last seven games of the season having had to undergo an emergencyappendixoperation.[citation needed]
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 againstReadingthe aggregate score was 1-1 as the game entered the final minute. Reading were awarded a penalty which Carroll saved fromJamie Cureton,butNicky Forsterscored from the rebound to send Reading through.[9]
Manchester United
editHe was signed by defendingPremier LeaguechampionsManchester Unitedin July 2001 for an undisclosed fee believed to be £2.5 million.[10]He made his debut in a 1–1 draw withAston Villaon 26 August 2001.[11]Carroll faced stiff competition againstFabien Barthezat United but won aPremier Leaguewinners' medal in the2002–03 season.[12][13]Carroll received yet more competition for the2003–04 season,when Manchester United signed American goalkeeperTim Howardafter Barthez left to joinMarseille.He won anFA Cupwinners' medal in May 2004 when he came on as substitute for Howard in the 84th minute.[14]On 19 February 2005, in an FA Cup match againstEverton,Carroll was struck on the back of the head by any of various projectiles including coins andmobile phones,in a match high on security for teammate and Everton returneeWayne Rooneywhich Manchester United won 2–0.
Carroll gained his greatest infamy for the "goal that never was" againstTottenham Hotspurin January 2005; a speculative shot from the half-way line byPedro Mendesthat Carroll dropped well behind his goal-line then scooped back into play.[15]The referee and his linesmen were unable to verify that the ball had gone over the line and the goal was not given.[16]Though Carroll got away with that particular gaffe, his error led to him being dropped for a few matches. He made a second blunder in a 1–0 defeat byMilan,where he spilled a shot into the path ofHernán Crespo,who then scored.[17]He was released by Manchester United on 27 May 2005 after his contract expired;[18]he refused to sign a new deal after the club failed to assure him that he would be first choice for the next season.
West Ham United
editThree weeks after leavingOld Trafford,Carroll signed for West Ham.[19]Carroll enjoyed a successful start to his West Ham career, making 19 appearances. However, a back injury sustained in a game againstFulhamon 23 January 2006 left him needing surgery,[20]and he was sidelined for the remainder of the2005–06season, including the FA Cup Final against Liverpool.Shaka Hislopwas his replacement. He made just 17 appearances in the 2006–07 season, due to personal problems relating to alcohol and gambling[21]and the arrival ofRobert Green.His final game for the Hammers took place on 3 February 2007 againstAston Villa.[22]On 25 May 2007, West Ham stated that he had been released after asking for a transfer to achieve regular first team football.[23]
Rangers
editCarroll signed for Rangers on a one-year contract on 7 July 2007,[24]initially as cover forAllan McGregorbut also to challenge for a starting place. He made his only appearance forRangersagainstEast Fifein aLeague Cupmatch on 26 September 2007.[25]
Derby County
editOn 9 January 2008, it was revealed that Carroll was in line for a move toPremier LeaguesideDerby County.[26]Carroll was allowed permission to talk with Derby and personal terms were agreed, but the deal hinged on Rangers signing a replacement goalkeeper. After over a week with little progress, Derby County called off the move,[27]but when Carroll offered to pay the loan fee so Rangers could sign Sunderland keeperDarren Ward,the deal was revived. Carroll hoped to join Derby on loan for the rest of the2007–08 seasonbut the move was again held up by Rangers as they refused to release his registration until they found another keeper. After Rangers signedNeil AlexanderfromIpswich Town,Carroll was free to sign for Derby, and a deal was completed on deadline day.[28]He signed a three-year contract with the club on 21 January 2008,[29]and made his debut in a Premier League match against Birmingham City on 2 February 2008. Carroll could not help the club avoid relegation to the Championship after just one season.
Carroll started the 2008–09 season as the club's first choice goalkeeper, but after getting sent off in a 2–1 victory atNorwich Cityhe lost his place and was restricted to making appearances in cup competitions. He was part of the Derby side that reached the 2008–09Football League Cupsemi-final, where they lost 4–3 on aggregate to his former side Manchester United. After Paul Jewell resigned in December 2008, he was replaced byNigel Clough.Clough made it clear Carroll was not in his plans and, a week into the 2009–10 season, it was announced that Carroll's contract with The Rams would be cancelled to allow him to move toDanishsideOdense BK.[30]
Odense Boldklub
editCarroll signed a three-year contract withDanish SuperligasideOdense BKon 17 August 2009. His debut was granted on the very same day and only hours after he had signed the deal, when he managed to keep a clean sheet in the 1–0 win againstFC Midtjylland.Having played just 14 Superliga games, he was named2009 Superliga Goalkeeper of the Yearin December 2009, in a vote amongst the league goalkeepers.[31]In November 2010, Carroll announced his decision to leave Odense BK in order to return to Britain to be closer to his family.[32]The club soon signedStefan Wesselsas his replacement. Carroll's contract was mutually terminated on 31 January 2011[33]and he left Odense BK as a free agent, in search of a new club.

Thus, Carroll won a trophy in his only game as a football manager. He reportedly left the club in protest in April 2011, as his former Northern Ireland managerLawrie Sanchezwas set to take a managerial role in the club.[35]In July 2011, Carroll joinedPreston North Endon trial and played in a 7–1 friendly victory atKendal Town.[36]However, despite a deal for Preston to sign Carroll being close,[37]the club opted to signIain Turnerinstead.[38][39]
