Charles Montgomery (1924–1995) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1940s. He was a premiership winning prop-forward with St George and finished his career with Newtown.
'Chassa' Montgomery played two seasons with St George Dragons between 1941 and 1942, and played in the front-row in their victorious 1941 Grand Final.[2] He then moved to Newtown, where he played another two seasons between 1944 and 1945. He made another Grand Final appearance at prop-forward in the Newtown side that lost the 1944 Grand Final to Balmain.
Both sides had been accused of "dogging-it" in the Final where they met, and allowing Balmain to win so that they would need to meet in a Grand Final a week later.
Montgomery went on to Captain coach in Townsville, Queensland in the early 1960s playing well into his 40s.
In his later years, Montgomery was a selector for the Townsville Foley shield team in 1974–5. Montgomery died in Townsville, Queensland on 4 Feb 1995, age 71[3] [4]
