Charles William Alfred Marks (21 December 1919 – 19 January 2005) was an English professional footballer. He played for Gillingham for fifteen years, making him one of the longest-serving players in the Kent club's history. He was born in Eccles, near Aylesford, Kent.[1]
As well as playing for various youth and works teams, Marks had spells with Maidstone United and Tooting & Mitcham United before joining Gillingham in 1943. He played 187 matches for the team during their spell in non-league football and, after the team's return to the Football League in 1950, made 265 further league appearances.[2] In 1958, aged nearly 40, he left to join non-league Tonbridge, his final club.[3]
