Stanley Charlton (16 November 1900 – 1971) was an English professional footballer who played as a full back in the Football League for Exeter City, Crystal Palace and Newport County. He was the father of Stan Charlton who also had a career as a professional footballer.
Charlton was born on 16 November 1900, in Little Hulton,[1] then within Lancashire, but subsequently part of Greater Manchester.
In May 1928,[1] Charlton was signed for Crystal Palace by Fred Mavin, previously his manager at Exeter City, who immediately made him captain.[2] Palace finished runners-up in Division Three South in 1928–29 missing out on the single promotion place on goal difference.[2] Charlton missed only one game and scored four times.[3][4] in the following three seasons Charlton made 25 appearances (two goals), 33 appearances (without scoring) and 22 appearances (one goal) respectively.[5] On 8 October 1932, Charlton moved on to Newport County.[1]
Whilst with Exeter City, Charlton toured Australia, in 1925 with an official Football Association XI.[6][7]
Stan Charlton died in 1971 aged 70 or 71.[8]
