Charles Farquar McSwain (12 October 1901 – 12 October 1976) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
McSwain spent six seasons at Carlton after arriving from Merbein. He put together 25 consecutive games from 1926 to 1927 and played in a Preliminary Final in 1929, but Carlton lost to Richmond by a goal.[2]
The next stage of McSwain's career took place in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), firstly at Northcote in 1931, with whom he appeared in a narrow Grand Final loss to Oakleigh, as a follower. However the next season he played in a winning VFA Grand Final, this time at full-back.[3]
