Stats
Bio
A recruit from the Police force, Charles "Charlie" Taylor was a solidly built defender who provided physical presence for Fitzroy during the Edwardian era. Hailing from Woodend, he stood 180cm and weighed 86kg—significant dimensions for the time—which saw him utilised effectively as a key backman capable of spoiling and intercepting opposition forays. Although he debuted in late 1907, his career was defined by his contributions in the 1908 and 1909 seasons, where he was a regular fixture in a Maroons lineup that finished fifth in consecutive years. A quintessential defensive stopper who never registered a goal in his 20 appearances, Taylor provided sturdy service to the club before his career at the highest level concluded.
