Charlie Paynter (28 July 1879 in Swindon – 1 December 1971) was the manager of West Ham United from 1932-1950.
He moved to Plaistow with his family as a child.[1] He played for the local teams Victoria Swifts and South West Ham,[2] but while still a teenager he also developed an interest in physiotherapy. Paynter first became involved with West Ham United in 1897 as unpaid help. In the 1900-01 season Paynter joined the club as a player although he never played for the first-team. He sustained a knee injury in a match against Woolwich Arsenal which ended his career and the club appointed him reserve-team trainer in 1902. He was then promoted to first-team trainer, replacing Syd King, who was appointed first team manager. When King was sacked in 1933, Paynter replaced him. Paynter remained as manager of West Ham United until 1950.[3]
