Biography
Charlie Hewitt was a man ahead of his time. He styled himself on Herbert Chapman, the influential Huddersfield Town and Arsenal manager, widely regarded as one of the game’s great innovators. Verbose, egotistical, trenchant and autocratic, Hewitt’s character was often divisive but there can no doubt that he brought success to the majority of clubs he managed. Often followed by controversy, by his own admission he was a “leopard that couldn’t change his own spots” and in a managerial career that lasted over 30 years that ultimately proved his downfall.
