Bio
Charlie Cox holds a permanent place in the archives as a member of St Kilda's inaugural VFL team. Selected for the club's historic debut in the newly formed league, he took the field for the Round 1 clash against Collingwood at Victoria Park in 1897. Cox retained his spot for the following week's fixture against Fitzroy, but that appearance marked the end of his senior career. His brief tenure occurred during a tumultuous formative period for the Saints, where he remains one of several foundation players whose contributions were restricted to the opening fortnight of the competition.
