Frank Carrodus (born 31 May 1949) is an English former professional football player who played as a winger.[1] In his career Carrodus played for Manchester City, Aston Villa, Wrexham, Birmingham City and Bury.[2]
Manchester City
Carrodus had to compete with Francis Lee for a place in the City team for 1974 League Cup Final.[3] Lee was declared fit and manager, Ron Saunders dropped Carrodus to the subs bench.
Aston Villa
Saunders and Carrodus both moved to Villa. This time Carrodus was to feature in the first two matches of the 1977 League Cup Final. But he missed out on the victory game having tore knee ligaments in a match against Derby following the first Replay.[4]
Carrodus suffered further injuries in the 1978–79 season. He had already missed four games with a thigh strain when a cartilage operation in October sidelined him for two months.[5]
