David George Carlton (born 24 November 1952) is an English retired professional footballer who made 320 appearances as a midfielder in the Football League, most notably for Northampton Town and Brentford.

Playing career[edit]

Early years[edit]

Carlton began his career as an apprentice at West Ham United and moved to Fulham in 1969.[2][1] He made his debut during the 1971–72 Second Division season and made 8 appearances in total.[3] After a loan spell at North American Soccer League club Dallas Tornado in 1972,[4] Carlton returned to Fulham, but made just one further appearance before his departure in October 1973.[3]

Northampton Town[edit]

Carlton signed for Fourth Division club Northampton Town in October 1973.[3] He made just six league appearances in what remained of 1973–74, but became a regular pick from the beginning of the 1974–75 season and helped the Cobblers to promotion to the Third Division a year later.[5] Northampton Town were relegated straight back to the Fourth Division and Carlton departed the club early in the 1976–77 season.[1] He made 104 league appearances and scored six goals during nearly three years at the County Ground.[1]

Brentford[edit]

Carlton reunited with his former Fulham and Northampton Town manager Bill Dodgin at Fourth Division club Brentford in October 1976 and signed for a £3,000 fee.[2][1] He helped the Bees to promotion to the Third Division in the 1977–78 season and unlike with Northampton, the club consolidated its position at the higher level.[6] Carlton departed Griffin Park at the end of the 1979–80 season and made 148 appearances and scored seven goals during nearly four years with the Bees.[2]

Return to Northampton Town[edit]

In September 1980, Carlton dropped back to the Fourth Division, when he followed Bill Dodgin back to Northampton Town.[1] He made 76 league appearances before departing in 1982.[1]

Wealdstone[edit]

Carlton ended his career with a spell at Alliance Premier League club Wealdstone.[2]

Personal life[edit]

After retiring from football, Carlton settled in Little Billing and began a business selling golf equipment.[5]
