Stats
Bio
Recruited from Campbell's Creek in the Castlemaine district, Bill Charleson was a mid-sized utility who earned a brief trial with Fitzroy during the 1948 season. Standing 178cm, he broke into the senior lineup late in the year, making his debut in Round 15 against South Melbourne. Charleson held his place for four consecutive weeks, playing a defensive or supporting role that saw him finish his career without a goal. His stint at the top level was confined to that single month of football, as he was omitted prior to the final round and never returned to the VFL, eventually passing away at the relatively young age of 54.
