George Carter (16 February 1866 β 23 January 1945) was an English footballer and all-round sportsman
|
9831_1
|
who played a prominent part in the early history of Southampton Football Club, leading them to
|
9831_2
|
success in local cup tournaments and captaining the side in their first FA Cup match in 1891.
|
9831_3
|
Early life
|
9831_4
|
Carter was born in Hereford and represented his county at both football and cricket. He is recorded
|
9831_5
|
as making three appearances for Herefordshire County Cricket Club in 1885, against Worcestershire
|
9831_6
|
in July and again in August and against MCC in August.
|
9831_7
|
Carter was employed as an engraver by the Ordnance Survey and in 1887 he was posted to their
|
9831_8
|
offices in Southampton. Speaking in 1999, Carter's daughter-in-law, Nellie Carter, said that Carter
|
9831_9
|
was "not at all happy" about being posted to Southampton and that Carter maintained that the move
|
9831_10
|
was arranged by Dr. Russell Bencraft who was medical officer at the Ordnance Survey and the first
|
9831_11
|
president of Southampton St. Mary's F.C.
|
9831_12
|
Football career
|
9831_13
|
In October 1887, he was introduced to Southampton St. Mary's F.C. and asked to play as a full-back.
|
9831_14
|
He played at right-back in the club's first appearance in a cup tournament, in the Hampshire Junior
|
9831_15
|
Cup against Totton on 26 November 1887. The match was won 1β0, with "Carter's playing at the back
|
9831_16
|
(being) a distinctive feature of the game". The team went on to defeat Petersfield 10β0 in the next
|
9831_17
|
round, with five goals from A. A. Fry and four from captain C.E. (Ned) Bromley. This was followed
|
9831_18
|
by victories over Lymington (4β0) and Bournemouth Arabs (2β1) before the final against Southampton
|
9831_19
|
Harriers. The first match, played at the County Cricket Ground ended in a 2β2 draw, with St. Mary's
|
9831_20
|
taking the replay on 24 March by a 2β1 margin, thus winning their first trophy. Carter appeared in
|
9831_21
|
all six matches in the cup tournament, playing at right-back.
|
9831_22
|
In the summer of 1888, Ned Bromley moved to London to study dentistry and Carter was appointed team
|
9831_23
|
captain, a position he was to retain for the next six years. As captain, Carter was described as "a
|
9831_24
|
gentleman and a generous opponent".
|
9831_25
|
In the third round of the Hampshire Junior Cup, St. Mary's were drawn to play Fordingbridge Turks
|
9831_26
|
on 12 January 1889. Carter and three other St. Mary's players had been selected to play for the
|
9831_27
|
Hampshire F.A. against Berks & Bucks on the same day. St. Mary's tried to get the match against the
|
9831_28
|
Turks re-arranged but the New Forest club refused. Consequently, St. Mary's withdrew their four
|
9831_29
|
players from the county match to play in the cup. The "Saints" won the match (played at the
|
9831_30
|
Antelope Ground) 3β2, earning them a semi-final appearance against Cowes.
