Irish Premiership: Dungannon keeper Carroll still getting 'butterflies' buzz at 43


Roy Carroll collects the ball during Dungannon's 2-1 win over Glenavon in Tuesday's Irish Cup tieFormer NI and Manchester United keeper Roy Carroll says he is delighted to be playing for Dungannon Swifts after starting his career 26 years ago. The 43-year-old returned to action in January and has added experience to a young Swifts side sitting at the bottom of the Irish Premiership. "When you get older every game you play you have little butterflies in your stomach," Carroll told Sportsound. The Covid-19 pandemic saw his goalkeeping coaching school close temporarily and at the suggestion of his wife - with Carroll saying his "wasn't doing much" - he donned the keeper gloves once again. I said okay and I was fortunate to get a club and get out three times a week," added Carroll.
