Some Famous People called Charlie Wright
Charlie Wright
Charles George Wright (born 11 December 1938) is a former professional footballer and manager. Born in Scotland, he represented Hong Kong internationally. He gained the name "wonder boy" after a great trial game for Morton against Queens Park (B Division 1955/56). He continued with his juvenile team Glentyan Thistle, playing in the Lord Weir Cup Final at Cathkin Park in June 1956. He was signed by junior team Glencairn Thistle to serve an apprenticeship before moving to Rangers. https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2mus-XyGPC0C&dat=19560623&printsec=frontpage&hl=en (Evening Times, 23 June 1956)
Wright was caretaker manager and then manager of Bolton Wanderers in the 1984–85 season. His first game as full-time manager was a 2–0 win against Plymouth Argyle. However the good times did not last long and Wright was quickly replaced by ex-Liverpool and England defender Phil Neal.

Albert Charles Charlie Wright (4 April 1895 – 26 May 1959), known as Charlie Wright, was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Kent in 225 matches between 1921 and 1931.
Wright was a professional right-arm fast-medium bowler and a right-handed lower-order batsman who frequently contributed useful runs. After a few matches in 1921 and 1922, he became a regular member of the Kent team in 1923 and remained a regular choice until the middle of the 1931 season, when he lost form and was dropped, not regaining his place in the side.
Wright and George Collins provided the seam bowling alternative to the spin of Tich Freeman and Frank Woolley which dominated Kent's bowling across the 1920s. Both his best batting and bowling performances came in the 1924 season, relatively early in his first-class career. Against Essex in June 1924 in the second innings he scored 81, putting on 157 in about 75 minutes for the eighth wicket with the debutant Alan Hilder, which stood as the Kent record for that wicket until 2007. In August of the same year, he took five Somerset wickets for 33 runs in the first innings and followed that with seven for 31 in the second innings, providing both his best innings and match figures. In 1925, in the match against Warwickshire, Wright was the first victim in a sequence of four wickets in five balls by the Warwickshire player Robert Cooke; in Warwickshire's second innings, Wright returned the favour with a hat-trick in which Cooke was one of his victims.
Wright's best seasons as a bowler were 1926 and 1927 and in both of these years he took more than 100 wickets at an average below 21 runs per wicket. His aggregates fell away from 1928 as Freeman came to dominate Kent's bowling almost single-handedly, and he was also more expensive from 1928 onwards. He remained a useful lower-order batsman, and passed 50 nine times in all, scoring more than 500 runs in both 1924 and 1929.
