Charles "Torchy" Laxton

[Mobbs]

Just talking to my Mum who once worked for a Charles "Torchy" Laxton. Apparently he played for Collingwood, but don't know when. He was born circa 1896. Might have played somewhere between 1916-26ish???

Anyone got access to historical player records which might say anything about him? Any help greatly appreciated!

Ok I got the answer I needed from the main board (Leaping Lindner helped me out).

The details are here in case anyone's interested.

Sound like Torchy was a bit of a star!

Hey, thanks for that Mobbs. Kind of interesting. What did your mum work for him as?

perhaps I should have asked

She worked for him in 1946 when he was 50 ... you're right, I dunno what as.
