Career

Born in Tamworth, Cartwright played for his hometown club, Tamworth, in two stints, both coming either side of a brief spell with Colchester United. [1] Cartwright joined Colchester in the summer of 1988, making his debut on 27 August of the same year in a 1–0 home victory over York City. [2] He made ten league appearances in total for the U's [3] and appeared in his final game just under two months later, in a record Football League defeat for Colchester as they were defeated 8–0 at Leyton Orient. The result cost manager Roger Brown his job and Cartwright never appeared for Colchester again, [4] returning to Tamworth for the remained of the 1988–89 season. [1]

On his return to Tamworth, he aided the club to the final of the FA Vase, playing Sudbury Town at Wembley on 7 May 1989. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, with Tamworth winning the replay the following Wednesday by 3–0 at London Road, Peterborough. [5] Following his second spell with Tamworth, he later joined Atherstone United. [1]

Steve 'The Cat' Cartwright is due to dust off his old size nines, to be the star performer in a charity match organised by Miller Construction. Captaining his PCE team, Steve (ex Tamworth, played at Wembley) is expected to shine at the back in his newly designed hi-vis kit.

Personal life

Cartwright remained in Tamworth after retiring, spending time watching his son Alfie play football for Coton Green juniors. [5]
