Stephen Charles "Steve Flash" Carter (born April 23 1953) is an English former professional footballer.
Carter was born in Great Yarmouth and began his career as an apprentice with Manchester City, turning professional in August 1970. After a promising start to his City career, he struggled to make a prolonged impact and was sold to Notts County in February 1972 for £18,000. He had scored twice in 6 league games for City. He joined a County side who were newly promoted to Division Two, and would finish in fourth place at the end of that season. His right-wing trickery, and expertise from the penalty spot helped County consolidate and establish themselves in the Second Division after a long spell out of the top two divisions.
On the 29 August 1978, after 21 goals in 188 league appearances for County, Carter joined Derby County, with Scotland international Don Masson going in the opposite direction. He immediately settled into the Derby side, making his debut on the 2nd of September in a 2-0 home defeat to Coventry City. Early the following season, with his career opening up in front of him, Carter was hit by injury and would never play for Derby again. He had made 33 league appearances, scoring just the one goal.
He eventually recovered and rejoined Notts County, by now in Division One, on a non-contract basis, before joining Bournemouth on a free transfer in March 1982. He made 46 league appearances for Bournemouth, scoring once, before joining Torquay United, again on a free transfer, in July 1984. He played only 16 times for the Gulls league side before leaving league football, joining non-league Lymington F.C.
While with Derby, Carter also played in the NASL for Minnesota Kicks.
