Christopher William Weller (25 December 1939 – 4 June 2018) was a professional association footballer who played as a forward for eight different clubs over a 20-year career.
He began his career with his home town club, Reading, for whom he played as an amateur, before moving on to Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic (now known as A.F.C. Bournemouth) in 1959. He made 111 appearances, scoring 26 goals, in two spells with The Cherries which was interspersed with a brief stint at Bristol Rovers, where he played three games. After departing Bournemouth in 1967 he spent the remainder of his career playing and managing in non-League football around the south of England.[1]
