Charles Edward Wade (22 December 1884 – 30 August 1966) was an
Victorian Football League
(VFL).
Wade played some of his early football with
Victorian Football Association, but also appeared for Leopold.[1] He started his VFL career at Melbourne and made his league debut in round three of the 1904 VFL season, against Fitzroy at the MCG.[2] It would be his only senior game for Melbourne.[2]
Wade was a regular fixture in the South Melbourne team for four seasons, starting in
back pocket defender, replacing an injured Bill Dolphin.[3]
On this occasion he finished on the winning side, giving South Melbourne their first premiership.
During the 1910 VFL season, Wade left Melbourne to join Bairnsdale Football Club, as club captain.[4]
