Roy Carroll

Um, 'cause with my cerebral palsy, I could get on my knees, and I was always in the nets in the back garden.

So, uh, I think spotting Roy Carroll and, like, trying to, trying to wave to him and say, "Oh, that's Roy Carroll." And it, it's weird when you see p-players just going past you.

You, uh, I think no matter what level they are, when you're a kid, they are like sort of, um...

I don't know.

One happy birthday and a couple of only stays to bring you.

Happy birthday to Roy Carroll.

49 today, on this day 121 years ago, Blackpool 1905, Charlie Roberts scored, United won their 7th game in a row in Division 2, and the game ends, and a Blackpool player punches a United player as they're going off the pitch, no further action was taken.

A couple of derby wins to bring you on this day.

And one of the big problems that I faced at that point was that...

When I'd just signed, or around about that point, I'd signed a new first team contract, Roy's lawyer, Michael Kennedy, it was almost like a conveyor belt, went in to speak to the gaffer, Right, there's the first thing.

Go and speak to Roy.

Right, OK, I'm going to speak to Roy.

Right, I'll get Michael to phone you.

So speak to Michael.

Michael goes in, gets a better deal.

So Roy's lawyer, never had an agent.

I mean, you know, the reason I looked at VAR.

And I'll go back a long time, was when Pedro Mendes scored at Old Trafford and Roy Carroll, he cheated.

Roy Carroll scooped it out the net and cheated.

And the players cheat, which is a massive thing I've got an issue with.

And the refs let them cheat.

You were flitting around.

We, we are gonna talk to Roy Carroll very shortly.

Um, so you, you were flicking through the channels, keeping in touch of all the matches.

I-

We've got James, uh, we've got Dignity, um, and a couple of others all just noting how excellent he was yesterday.

Um, I [laughs] did enjoy James' comment saying, uh, when he first came in, he feared he would prove to be little more than a handsome version of Roy Carroll, which is-

[laughs]

... a lovely call-out.

Or it's like, we've had rubbish goalkeepers for quite a while.

Tim Howard, Roy Carroll, who do I need? Do you know what? Band a Sa, and you just go on this run.

If, unless someone else steps up, which I actually think you lot are gonna step up now, I don't think it's this year.

I think they're gonna break out, yeah, this year, but I don't think it's Premier League winning year.
