Charlie Wayman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Wayman (16 May 1922 - 25 February 2006) was an English footballer.
Wayman, who was born in Chilton, was a prolific centre-forward in the first decade after the Second World War. Newcastle United signed him from Spennymoor United in September 1941, while he was working as a miner at Chilton Colliery. He later formed a great partnership with Ted Bates at Southampton. In total, he played for five Football League clubs between 1941 and 1958. A knee injury forced his retirement from league football. He later coached Evenwood Town and became a sales manager for the Scottish and Newcastle brewery.
