Éric Carrière (French pronunciation: [e.ʁik.ka.ʁjɛʁ] ; born 24 May 1973 in Foix, Ariège) is a former professional French association footballer who played for Dijon. He is a skilful playmaker who is adept at taking free-kicks, penalties, and corners for his team, as well as scoring from the run of play although he is primarily known for defence splitting passes.
