Bill Carlos

William J. Carlos, born in Castlerea, County Roscommon, in 1923 and died on 11 March 1997, was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a centre-back for the Roscommon senior team. He was introduced to Gaelic football during his schooling at Roscommon CBS, and at club level he enjoyed a distinguished career with Ballintober. He made his debut on the inter-county scene when he first linked up with the Roscommon minor team and was an All-Ireland medallist in that grade, later making his senior football debut. He went on to play a key role for Roscommon during a hugely successful era, winning two All-Ireland medals and four Connacht medals, and he was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
