Victor Lawrence Carroll (30 April 1912 – 18 October 1998) was an Australian rules footballer who played 12 consecutive games with Fitzroy in 1937 in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
The son of Edward Martin Carroll (1883-1958), and Emily Sarah Carroll (1883-1967), née Bisset, Victor Lawrence Carroll was born at Malvern, Victoria on 30 April 1912.
He married Mary Agnes Ison (1918-1980) in 1937.[2]
Carroll and one of his two younger brothers, Norm — i.e., Norman Powlett Carroll (1910-1968) — had previously trained with the Melbourne Football Club in 1931.[3][4]
Cleared to Fitzroy from Corowa on 26 May 1937,[5] Carroll made his First XVIII debut against Geelong, at the Corio Oval, on 5 June 1937.[6][7][8][9]
