† Appearances (Goals).David Francis "Dave" Carroll (born 20 September 1966 in Paisley, Scotland) is a former footballer who spent 14 seasons at Wycombe Wanderers. An attacking midfielder, Carroll played more than 600 first-team games for Wycombe in all competitions, and scored exactly 100 goals. He was nicknamed "Jesus" by the Wycombe supporters.[1]
Carroll joined Wycombe, then a recently-promoted Conference side, in the summer of 1988, having previously played for Ruislip Manor of the Isthmian League. He went on to become a key member of the Wycombe side that won promotion to Football League in 1993. The following season, Wycombe won a second successive promotion as Carroll scored twice in Wycombe's 4-2 victory against Preston in the playoff final at Wembley.[2]
In November 1997, Carroll was rewarded for his long service to the Chairboys with a testimonial match against Leicester City.[3] Near the end of his career at Adams Park, no longer a first-team regular, Carroll played the final ten minutes of Wycombe's famous FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool in 2001.
In March 2002, Carroll left Wycombe on a free transfer to join Aldershot Town.[1] He spent eight months at Aldershot, and finished his career at Windsor & Eton.
Dave Carroll now works as Manager for Space Station plc.
