Craig 6702 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Former Sunderland goalkeeper Tim Carter has been found dead in Manchester. The body of the 40-year-old, from County Durham, was discovered in bushes by a passer-by in the Highfield Close area of Stretford, Greater Manchester. Emergency services were called, and he was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at midday on Friday. The death of Mr Carter, recently appointed as Sunderland Academy goalkeeping coach, is not being treated as suspicious, according to police. He played 50 games for the Black Cats, between 1987 and 1992, and had been the first-team goalkeeping coach before the arrival of Raimond Van Der Gouw in summer 2007. Mr Carter also coached the goalkeepers in Estonia's national side on a part-time basis. A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said a post-mortem would be carried out in due course. Carter started his career at Bristol Rovers and also played for Hartlepool, Millwall, Oxford and Halifax.

Doesn't look good anyway - RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Shearer Is God 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Seen him play once for Halifax Town towards the end of his career. Cant remember the opposition but Halifax were attacking and he was sat on the floor against the post not taking any notice of the game around him. Then the opposition got the ball and shot from about 20 yards out by the time he realised the shot was coming he hadnt even managed to get up off the ground! One of the funniest things ive ever seen at a game! RIP anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
