Charles Pringle

Date of Birth:

18 October 1894

Birthplace:

Barrhead

A stint with junior side Maryhill was the catalyst for saints to sign Charles Pringle during the First World War. Not very tall or well built he would never qualify to being described as robust, yet despite this lack of physical build, his bustling and strong
tackling techniques were soon earning much respect in the game.
This respect gained him a cap against Wales in March 1921 and a Scottish League cap against the Irish league the same year
before he left the club for Manchester City where he was part of their Division Two Championship winning team in 1928.
