Scott Carson has a lot of winners’ medals—11, to be exact—and if you count his time at Liverpool, where he won a UEFA Champions League and European Super Cup, Carson has quite the résumé.

No one defines the role of “role player” more than Scott Carson, who in the last five seasons has played only 2 games and logged just 107 minutes for Manchester City.

Before that, Carson had played regularly with Derby County in the Championship, over 170 games. Before that, the former England goalkeeper had been with Wigan Athletic, also in the Championship.
