Overview
- Starting as captain at Bedford Town in the FA Cup second qualifying round, Carroll was shown a straight red just before half-time for a foul while jumping for the ball, which the club confirmed during the match.
- Dagenham led 1-0 when Carroll was dismissed but conceded a stoppage-time equaliser, leaving the tie level and requiring a replay.
- The dismissal extended a poor disciplinary run for Dagenham, who have finished three straight matches with 10 men, according to match reports.
- Carroll, 36, joined the sixth-tier side in July after leaving Bordeaux, missed the start of the season with a hamstring issue, and made a substitute debut in last week’s 5-2 defeat to Worthing.
- His high-profile arrival coincided with a Qatari-backed takeover of the club, and media reports have suggested he holds a minority stake.
