Charles Eric Whitely (12 January 1904 – 12 September 1953) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond and Hawthorn in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Whitely joined Richmond from the Hume Weir club in Albury in the Ovens & Murray Football League[2] in 1925, making his solitary appearance in the senior team in their loss to Carlton.[3]
He transferred to Hawthorn for the 1926 VFL season and scored a goal on debut against St Kilda but also fractured a rib[4] and never again played a VFL match. He later transferred to Prahran in the Victorian Football Association.[5]
In 1930 he married Thelma Sedgman and they lived in Melbourne until his death in 1953.
