Defender during the Bill McGarry era, unfortunately departed today.
Noted of course with joining Bill Baxter in a punch up with Sir Bob when he left them both out of the squad early in his tenure. [Post edited 16 Aug 2020 21:26]

Tommy Carroll was a very steady RB in the 1967/68 promotion season.
The incident involving him and Billy Baxter was not THAT early in SBR'S time here because he had been here two years when it happened although I suppose as he had thirteen years here two years is quite early. [Post edited 16 Aug 2020 21:39]

As a young kid in the 60s hanging around Portman Rd training sessions, autograph book in hand, Tommy signed many a picture for me. Would love to have that collection now!
Sad news. |  | | |

I stand corrected, I thought said fisticuffs was circa 1969/70. | | | |

I think that, for a while, he was our most capped player.
A sad loss; condolences to his family and friends. |  |

Apparently it was 23rd February 1971 after a 4-2 home loss to Leeds.
Both The Men Who Made The Town and SBR's own book Time On The Grass say that was when it was. | | | |

One of my early memories of Portman Road was seeing Tommy Carroll arriving for the match on his racing bicycle. I guess this was around 1969 or 1970. We would get their early (due to train times)and hang around outside. I remember him cycling along the road behind the North Stand, which I believe was called Portman's Walk in those days.
He was our only full international player then, although Ray Crawford and Mick McNeil were both ex-England players in that squad. |  | | |
