Bio
A big-bodied utility whose VFL career was defined by a significant hiatus and a late tour of three foundation clubs, Charlie Taylor was a unique journeyman of the pre-war era. Originally recruited from the Caulfield and Hawthorn junior ranks, he made a brief appearance for Melbourne in 1906, playing three games before disappearing from the league for five seasons. Taylor spent what should have been his prime football years in the lower grades, eventually resurfacing at Carlton in 1911 as a 32-year-old veteran. Standing 182cm and weighing nearly 90kg, he offered a physical presence as a follower or forward but struggled to command a permanent place in the Blues' lineup. He was cleared to St Kilda midway through the 1911 season, where he added valuable experience to a struggling side before retiring in 1912 with the rare distinction of representing three different clubs in just thirteen career games.
