Transfer record

I can remember Carter missing an absolute sitter against Chelsea in the FA Cup. The keeper tipped a long ranger on to the bar and Carter somehow blazed it over the open goal.

That is 2 more moments than Richard Chaplow ever produced.

I didn't think Chaplow was that bad - I think injury just let him down as it does with quite a lot of players who played for PNE. Chaplow also scored twice as many goals as Carter as well in a lot less appearances.

The other thing you can compare as well is the clubs they signed for after they left PNE. Chaplow made quite a few appearances for Southampton, Ipswich and Millwall as soon as he left us, whilst Carter played for Cheltenham, Northampton and Forrest Green. I think that shows which player had the most effort and better attitude.

Southampton signed Chaplow as a L1 club...

They did, but they got promoted that season. He also played quite a few games in the championship the season after (again where they got promoted) and yet again injury cut his season short. He also made one or two prem appearances for them to.

Compare that to Carter who was released by Cheltenham town. If it wasn't for chaplow's injury issues I feel he would have done a lot better with his career.
 
Chaplow was great in the early days.

Complete waster in the second half of his spell here though.

When he wanted to be, he was a good Championship midfielder.
