Charles Edwin (Charlie) Bosbury was born in Newhaven on 5 December 1897. He was a tall, strongly built man with a talent for sprinting playing in the outside right position.
Bosbury started his career with Pemberton Billings before joining Southampton in 1921. The Saints won the Division Three South title but he didn’t make an appearance.
He joined First Division Birmingham and made his debut on 11 November 1922 in a 1–1 draw at Cardiff. He played 15 times in the 1922/23 season but was on the winning side only 4 times, 2 of these came in his final 2 matches against Preston. His last Blues match was a 1-0 home win on 10 March 1923. Bosbury lost his place to Bill Harvey (who later had a spell as Birmingham manager) and never regained it.
In the 1925 close season he joined Preston and got his only Lilywhite victory in a 1-0 win over Wolves on 2 January 1926. He played two further matches both ending in 4-1 defeats; the first was on 14 January at home to Blackburn in an FA Cup Third Round Replay match. Bosbury’s last PNE match was 2 days later at Swansea.
Bosbury joined Division Three North side Lincoln and made his debut in a 1-1 draw at home to Southport on 28 August 1926. His first career league goal came on his second Imps appearance in a 3-3 draw at Stockport on 4 September. He finished is first season with 10 goals from 25 league appearances including 3 goals on the trot in April 1927.
Lincoln finished runners up to Bradford Park Avenue by 8 points in the 1927/28 campaign; Bosbury was an ever present netting 15 of the 91 league goals during that season. He also scored 3 goals in 3 FA Cup matches. He scored a brace on 5 occasions during that season
The 1928/29 season saw Bosbury scored 5 goals in 17 League appearances. His last league goal came in a 7-1 Boxing Day victory over Hartklepools.
Described as able to "beat a man and centre on the run ... capable of cutting in and shooting with deadly effect", Bosbury scored 33 goals in 94 league and FA Cup games in two-and-a-half years with Lincoln. He played his final game for the club in a 1-0 home defeat to Leicester in the FA Cup 3rd Round on 12 January 1929, despite feeling unwell. Diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis, he died on 14 July 1929 in Lincoln aged only 31.
