Life and career

Carter was born in Midsomer Norton, Somerset, in 1921.[1] He played non-league football for Norton St John's[2] before joining Birmingham League club Stourbridge early in the 1938–39 season. Playing at outside left, he soon attracted attention from bigger clubs, and in January 1939 signed for Bury of the Football League Second Division.[1][3]

He did not make his senior debut for the club until after the Second World War, and scored 27 goals from 56 matches over two seasons.[1] The goals included a hat-trick in a 6–3 win against Bradford Park Avenue in 1947.[4] Carter spent a few months with Blackburn Rovers, playing twice without scoring, and then joined New Brighton in November 1948.[1] He scored 19 goals from 105 league appearances,[1] and left for Northwich Victoria after New Brighton finished bottom of the Third Division North and were not re-elected.[5][6]

Carter died in Bath, Somerset, in 2002.[1]
