† Appearances (Goals).Charles Partridge (1867 – after 1898) was an English professional footballer who made 29 appearances in the Football League playing for Small Heath.[1] He played as a goalkeeper.
Partridge was born in Wednesbury, Staffordshire. He played football for Wednesbury Old Athletic before joining Small Heath in 1890.[2] He played two games in Small Heath's second season in the Football Alliance, as a replacement for Chris Charsley and once in their second season in the Football League, replacing George Hollis.[3] In the 1894–95 season, the club's first in the First Division, Partridge was first-choice goalkeeper, and had the dubious honour of being in goal for the club's record defeat, 9–1, away to Blackburn Rovers in January 1895.[2][4] He lost his place the following season to Jim Roach, and went on to play for a variety of clubs in the Black Country, Birmingham and north Worcestershire.[2]
