Early lifeHe was born in Geelong, Victoria, and went to The Geelong College for his schooling. Football careerBrownlow played football with the Geelong Football Club in the Victorian Football Association (VFA), before the formation of the VFL, beginning his career in 1880 and playing regularly until 1884, with occasional games thereafter. He captained the club in 1883, leading it to a premiership in that season.[1] Following his playing career, Brownlow spent many years as an administrator. He was the Geelong Football Club secretary from 1885 to 1923, a year before his death. He served as Geelong's delegate on the Victorian Football League board from 1902 until 1922, and in that capacity as the VFL's vice-president and delegate to the Australasian Football Council from 1911 until 1916, and as chairman of the permit and umpires committee from 1911 until 1922. In addition to this, he was caretaker president of the VFL in 1918 and 1919.[1] He became president of the Australasian Football Council in 1919,[2] and served in that position until his death.[3] Brownlow married Matilda Jane Barber, and they had four children: Daisy, Ruby, Elsie, and Charles Junior. He primarily earned his living as a watchmaker, operating a store in Geelong.[1] Brownlow medalHe is known for having the Brownlow Medal named in his honour.
