Charles William Merton (24 November 1918 – 30 August 2000) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Merton apparently tied with the winner in the 1938 – Murray Football League O'Dwyer Medal, but strangely has not been officially recognised as a joint winner of the award.[2]
Merton later served in the Australian Army during World War II.[3]
