Striker Carl's one-season Rotherham career was sandwiched between two spells in Belgium but his ratio of goals per game was quite good.
The highlight of his time at Millmoor was undoubtedly his four goal haul in a 5-2 home win against Chester City in Division Three on August 31st, 1987. The last three came inside a second half spell of nine minutes including two from the penalty spot.
