About Stephen Carr
Stephen Carr is an Irish former professional footballer who played as a right-back, sometimes deputising at left-back or centre back. He started his career with Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur in 1993 and remained with the club until 2004. He had a spell with Newcastle United until 2008. From 2009 until 2013 he stayed with Birmingham City, also captaining the side. He is a former international player with the Republic of Ireland, having made 44 appearances. He was replaced by Graeme Souness, who, like Robson, saw Carr as a first-team player. Carr made his 100th appearance for Birmingham in the Europa League play-off round first leg against Portuguese club Nacional, the first time the club had participated in major European competition for nearly 50 years. Carr signed for Newcastle United in August 2004 when then manager Bobby Robson signed him for a fee of £2 million on a four-year contract. However he had to wait until the 1996–97 season to establish himself as a regular first-team player, when he made 28 appearances that campaign.
