Stephen Carr
| Born | 29 August 1976, Dublin |
| Nationality | Irish |
| Weight | 77 kg |
| Height | 1.75 m |
| Position | Defender/Right back |
Stephen had another fantastic season at Tottenham Hotspur in 2000-01, only interrupted by a groin injury that kept him out of action from December through until March.
Confident in his wing-back position, he loved to get forward down the flank and his initiative earned him three goals: one in the 3-1 opening day win at home to Ipswich Town, another in the home defeat by Derby County in October and a third in the penultimate game of the season at Leicester City.
Solid in his defending role, his strength in the tackle and pace make him a hard player to beat.
He was again a regular for the Republic of Ireland and has now assumed the defensive role previously taken by Dennis Irwin.
He also won recognition from his fellow professionals when he was selected for the PFA's Premiership team in April.
A Tottenham Hotspur stalwart and Republic of Ireland regular, Steve was signed by Sir Bobby Robson to bolster Newcastle United's fragile defence.
He joined Birmingham City in February 2009 on a monthly contract that was soon extended to the end of the season then to June 2011 in May 2009.
