We are saddened to report the passing of former Charlton goalkeeper Charlie Wright. Tributes have been pouring in on social media: he was a boyhood hero to many and a fan favourite. A little more about him here: https://charlton.chat/news/7-the-charlie-wright-episode
Charlie made a total of 203 appearances for Charlton between April 1966 and May 1971. He conceded 209 goals.
Until Eddie Firmani banned him from talking during matches, he used to hold regular conversations with fans who would throw sweets to him.
After managing Bolton, the Scotsman returned to S.E. London and ran a transport café in Greenwich. He was never capped for his native heath.
