Former Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll concedes atrocious goal (Video)

Pedro Medes not involved

Roy Carroll won’t thank us for this.

The former Manchester United stopper, currently at Notts County, conceded in embarrassing circumstances during their 3-1 defeat at Cambridge United on Saturday.

Having gathered the ball in his hands, Carroll can be seen waiting to clear the ball down field. As is often the case, a striker loitered around the edge of the area.

Rather than guide his kick to the right or left of Ben Williamson and into the path of a teammate, Carroll bizarrely walloped  it into the striker’s back which caused the ball to loop over the goalkeeper’s head and into the net.

This man has a Premier League winner’s medal but, more recently, he’s had an absolute nightmare.

Cheers to Thomas Curran for sending this our way.
