Colin Tartt (born 23 November 1950) is a former English footballer.

Playing career

Tartt joined Port Vale from Alsager College (where he qualified as a teacher), initially on trial, in June 1972. His first appearance was as a substitute in a 7–0 drubbing at Rotherham United on 26 August 1972, his first full debut was on 26 September that year in a 4–0 defeat at Bournemouth. Tartt impressed, despite the embarrassing score-lines and became a regular in the side, however he had to be pulled away by the police from Wrexham's Arfon Griffiths on the full time whistle of Vale's 1–0 win at Vale Park on 1 October 1973.

He was sold to Chesterfield for £15,000 in March 1977, but returned to Vale on loan in October 1981. He regained his old position and was transferred back to the club for £15,000 the next month. He was a part of the Football League Fourth Division promotion-winning squad in 1982–83, but lost his place March 1984 and was given a free transfer in May 1985, moving on to Shepshed Charterhouse.^[1] He marked his last appearance for the Valiants with a goal from the half-way line against Scunthorpe United.^[2]
