Past Player of the Week – Edward Barrett

Charlie Barrett joined Norwood in 1880. His full name was Edward Charles Barrett, although he was known to his family as Charlie. It is likely that he was also called Charlie during his time with the Redlegs, as he was consistently noted in club records as C Barrett.

Charlie was born in Portland, Victoria, in January, 1860. He grew up in South Australia, at Port MacDonnell and later Mount Gambier, where his father, Abraham Field Barrett, was manager of Must & Co, merchants and shipping agents.
