Charles Walter Page (2 March 1917 – 13 October 2010) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Page grew up in Newport and played for Spotswood United before joining Footscray.[1] He kicked three goals on his Footscray debut in 1938, his only game of the year.[2] In both 1939 and 1940, Page topped Footscray's goal-kicking, with 31 and 52 goals respectively.[2] He kicked nine goals against Richmond in the opening round of the 1940 VFL season, which remained his personal best.[2] His career ended prematurely due to the war.[3]
