Charles Robert Rattray (11 May 1911 â 1 October 1995) was an English footballer who scored 16 goals in 150 league games in a nine-year career in the Football League with Blackpool, Watford, Mansfield Town, Port Vale, and Accrington Stanley.
Rattray played for Fleetwood Windsor Villa, before joining Blackpool for a fee of ã10. He scored one goal in nine Second Division appearances in the 1929âÂÂ30 season, as the "Tangerines" won promotion as champions; his goal came in a 6âÂÂ0 win over Charlton Athletic at Bloomfield Road on 22 March. After avoiding relegation by slender margins in 1930âÂÂ31 and 1931âÂÂ32, Blackpool dropped out of the First Division in 1932âÂÂ33. He then played 19 Third Division South games in an injury-hit spell at Watford before scoring five goals in 36 Third Division North games for Mansfield Town. He joined Port Vale in May 1937. He scored one goal in 22 Third Division North appearances in the 1937âÂÂ38 season. He was given a free transfer from the Old Recreation Ground in May 1938. He moved on to Accrington Stanley, scoring one goal in 19 Third Division North games. He played for Mossley as a wartime guest player in the 1939âÂÂ40 season, scoring two goals in seven appearances before ending his career with hometown club Fleetwood.
Rattray was a skilful dribbling winger who was known by the nickname "Jazz" due to his tendency to "jazz around with the ball".
