|
Charlie Wayman Preston North End Though never capped for England, little Charlie Wayman, who has died aged 83, was one of the finest and most effective centre-forwards in the decade after the second world war, a prolific scorer with Newcastle United, Southampton, Preston and Middlesbrough, concluding his career in the Third Division at Darlington.
Born in Bishop Auckland, Wayman began his working life down the mines, played for the colliery team and non-league Spennymoor United and then, after a trial, signed for Newcastle in 1941. He played in unofficial matches for them during the war, while serving in the navy.
