Originally from South Bendigo, Harold Carter was a diminutive (165cm, 62 kg) but highly effective rover who was one of Fitzroy's best in its losing Challenge Final against Essendon in 1923. He played 38 VFL games and booted 34 goals for the Roys between 1920 and 1923, and in 1924 sought pastures new at Carlton. Over the final five seasons of his league career he added another 63 games and 54 goals to his respective tallies.
