On 27th July 2001, Roy Carroll joined Manchester United from Wigan Athletic as a back up for Fabien Barthez. The Northern Ireland International managed just 10 appearances in his first season and then 16 in his second, as he struggled to break into the first team.

When Tim Howard joined in the summer of 2003, Carroll had to make way for the American, who became the first choice keeper. However, a dip in the American's form in the 2004/05 season saw Carroll appear 34 times for United in what would be his last season. Yet, Carroll has what many players can only dream of - a Premier League winner's medal, along with an FA Cup and a Community Shield trophy to his name.

Carroll moved to West Ham from United on 1st July 2005, as United welcomed Edwin van der Saar to sort out their goalkeeping woes. From there, Carroll played for a number of clubs, including Rangers, Derby and Olympiacos, but never settled for more than two years at a club, until 2016, when he moved to Northern Ireland Football League side Linfield, where he currently is still playing.
