Charlie McAlister is a New Zealand former professional rugby league footballer who played professionally in England and Australia.

Playing career

McAlister played for the Newcastle Knights in 1988. He then moved to England and played rugby union for Bradford and Bingley Rugby Club before signing with Oldham, and returning to rugby league. He played for Oldham between 1988/89 and 1991/92, becoming the club's vice captain.[1] McAlister earned a Kiwi trial in 1989.[2] McAlister then spent the 1992/93 season with the Sheffield Eagles before returning to Oldham for the 1993/94 season.

McAlister also played for the Castleford Tigers, and was later the coach of the Manawatu Rugby Union team. In 1995 he played for Scotland at the Emerging Nations Tournament.[3]

He is also father of All Black and Blues player Luke McAlister, and northern mystics player Kayla McAlister. He currently acts as Luke's manager.[4]

gollark: You have to see *some small amount* of them, which is much more manageable.
gollark: Oh, NOW it pings me somehow?
gollark: You have a reasonable point that you can be nice to people inside a conversation but (possibly inadvertently) non-nice to those outside it. I think niceness within conversations is more important, as people outside them can more easily choose not to participate in them, but this doesn't work excellently. Banning discussion of anything some people do not like reading is *a* fix for some of this, but I don't like the tradeoffs, given the wide range of things in this category. Isolating that elsewhere is also not good for various reasons I indicated before. A generalized rule-4-y approach could end up doing basically the same thing as preemptively banning it, and people seem dissatisfied with "ignore the channel for a bit". Thus, I'm unsure of how the issue can be solved nicely and it's worth actually investigating the options.
gollark: What a strange name.
gollark: You are to wait while I:- type- think- move a mouse cursor around somewhat- get distracted by unrelated topics repeatedly
