Sir Philip David Carter CBE (born 8 May 1927) is a Scottish-born football director, life president of Everton Football Club and a former director of Littlewoods.
Born in Scotland, Carter's family moved to Lancashire when he was 2 years old. He attended Waterloo Grammar School in Waterloo, Liverpool. He joined Littlewoods as a 21-year-old in 1948 and 28 years later he was installed as the Managing Director.
He has had three spells with Everton Football Club. His first began in 1976 when he joined the board of directors. Two years later he was installed as Chairman.
Carter was involved with the formation of the Premier League. He along with four others were invited to dinner with ITV to discuss a break-away league that would feature the five largest clubs in the country (Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur) more frequently than any other teams thus those five clubs would receive more money than the others. He responded favourably.
While Carter was chairman of Everton, he oversaw some of the greatest successes of their history, including the 1984 FA Cup triumph, the European Cup Winners' Cup glory of 1985, as well as two league championships (the first in 1985, the second in 1987). On 31 October 1987, he famously disowned a host of Everton fans who were making racist chants at Liverpool winger John Barnes in a First Division Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. His condemnation of the club's racist supporters ("Stay Away You Scum") made the front page of several national newspapers.
