Charlie Wright

Charles George Wright (11 December 1938 – 27 December 2024) was a Scottish professional football player and manager.

Wright signed for junior team Glencairn Thistle to serve an apprenticeship before moving to Rangers.

He was selected by the Hong Kong national team to face against Peru during his service where he saved a penalty in which his performance earned him an accolade for "Player of the Year" by fans.

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, he was quickly replaced by ex-Liverpool and England defender Phil Neal.[citation needed]

Wright's death was announced by Bolton Wanderers on 28 December 2024. He was 86.
