George William Carter (19 October 1900 – 1981) was an English footballer who played as a half-back in the Football League for West Ham United.[3]
Born in West Ham, Essex, Carter played for West Ham Boys, then his works team, Green & Silley Weir of the London Munitions League, before moving to West Ham United for the club's first season of League football in 1919–20.[3]
Often used as understudy to Sid Bishop, George Kay or Jack Tresadern, Carter managed 136 League appearances for the Irons. His only goal came in a 2–1 win against Leeds United on 29 January 1921. He also played 19 FA Cup games for the club.[4]
Carter never fully recovered from a knee injury sustained during a game against Blackburn Rovers on 14 February 1927. After a cartilage operation, he signed on for the following season but did not play. He had a brief stint at Fulham in 1928 and later played for Grays Thurrock.[3]
Carter went on to work for local company Tate & Lyle, and continued his association with the game as a coach with them. He also organised the West Ham six-a-side tournament.[3]
