Stats
Bio
Charlie Howell was a local recruit from the Marlton Football Club who earned a place in St Kilda's inaugural VFL squad. Standing at just 170cm, he was a diminutive utility who faced a baptism of fire in a team that failed to win a single match during the competition's foundation season of 1897. Howell featured in eight games that year, likely operating as a small defender or wingman in a side that was routinely outclassed by superior opposition. He added just two more senior appearances in 1898 before drifting out of the league, leaving him as one of the many pioneers whose brief careers were defined by the brutal reality of St Kilda's early on-field struggles.
