Charles Longman

However he did not make the Harrow side, and his first appearance of any note was as a forward for Oxford University in the 1872–73 FA Cup first round win over Crystal Palace, scoring the third goal with a "clever side-kick".

In the second round, he played for the Rangers team which lost to Oxford University side, which included his brother Henry in the half-back line.

[7] Familial loyalties evidently proved strong as 1876–77 Henry joined Charles in the Rangers side, and both scored in a 9–0 win over South Norwood,[8] but school loyalties proved even stronger; in the 1876–77 FA Cup both appeared for the Old Harrovians (the renamed Chequers) in the first round tie at the Kennington Oval against the Royal Engineers.

[9] It was the brothers' last FA Cup tie and Charles appears to have given up the game after a goalless draw against the Sappers at Chatham Lines in March 1877,[10] probably due to his taking up a senior role at the family firm.

[19] He died on 17 April 1934 in Paddington, one of his two homes,[20] and was survived by his son William (also a partner in the firm) and daughter; he left an estate worth £61,624 4/9.
