Charlie was Scottish as his accent revealed. Anyone know how he wound up playing for HK?
I vividly recall reading about this in a football magazine, but a visit to my loft revealed a needle / haystack situation. I did however find this on google.
Charlie Wright had a strange international debut to say the least. Despite being born in Glasgow, he was called up by the Football Association of Hong Kong while on National Service in 1960 and played against Peru, saving a penalty in the process. The whole experience led to him being named Hong Kong Footballer of the Year.
