Charlie Pearson was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon during the 1880s. He is credited as being one of the first people to attempt high flying marks where a player jumps on the back of another in order to take a mark.[1]
Due to his work at a rural sheep station in Queensland he only played sporadically for Essendon but in 1886 was named as the Champion of the Colony.
