Playing career

In May 1928,[1] Charlton was signed for Crystal Palace by Fred Mavin, previously his manager at Exeter City, who immediately made him captain.[2] Palace finished runners-up in Division Three South in 1928–29 missing out on the single promotion place on goal difference.[2] Charlton missed only one game and scored four times.[3][4] in the following three seasons Charlton made 25 appearances (two goals), 33 appearances (without scoring) and 22 appearances (one goal) respectively.[5] On 8 October 1932, Charlton moved on to Newport County.[1]

Whilst with Exeter City, Charlton toured Australia, in 1925 with an official Football Association XI.[6][7]

Later career

Stan Charlton died in 1971 aged 70 or 71.[8]

gollark: The top end grows, but most applications actually aren't that.
gollark: Computers are ridiculously powerful and more than capable of running most general purpose things anyone cares about very fast, if those things are sanely implemented. We know this because they can continue sort of usably working despite JS and such.
gollark: They're already very fast. Unless you're doing some very time sensitive data processing you can afford bounds checks and such in your code.
gollark: In most situations faster computers cost less than broken software.
