Daniel Carroll Rugby player

Daniel Brendon Carroll DSC (17 November 1892 – 5 August 1956) was an Australian national representative rugby union player. He was a dual Olympic gold medalist winning in rugby at the 1908 Summer Olympics for Australia and also winning gold for the United States at the 1920 Summer Olympics. He later coached the gold-medal winning USA Rugby team at the 1924 Summer Olympics. He is erroneously referred to in some records as the youngest ever Australian representative rugby player due to a birthdate error in the Olympic records database. He served in the American Army as a Lieutenant in World War I and lived out his life in the USA working in the mining/petroleum industries.
