About Mark Carter

Born 1960. Mark Carter is a British association football player.

Mark Colin Carter (born 17 December 1960 in Liverpool, England) is an English former footballer.

Mark Carter, more commonly known to all as Spike, was a lethal goal scorer. He plied his trade almost exclusively in the non league of English & Welsh Football until he was signed by Barry Fry for Barnet. Fry was preparing his club for a final push for Football League status and promotion from the GM Football Conference. Duly promoted Carter was able to pit his scoring skills against professional defences and managed just short of 100 goals at Barnet then Bury and finally Rochdale.

After that he returned to non-league football with Ashton United, Runcorn, Radcliffe Borough and Glossop North End.

He played for Bootle Cricket Club in the Liverpool and District Cricket Competition.

Carter is the leading scorer of the England semi-pro team, with 13 goals in 11 appearances.
