Career highlights

Charlie E. Pannamopolis (born April 21, 1897) was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood and South Melbourne in the VFL. He was the son of Charlie H. Pannam and the brother of Alby Pannam. Their surname Pannamopolis was Greek but during their career they shortened it to Pannam.

Pannam spent six seasons with Collingwood and played in Grand Finals in all but one of them, winning premierships in 1917 and 1919. He played mostly in the middle of the ground, as either a wingman or centreman. In 1923 he joined South Melbourne as coach and for his first three years in charge he did so in a non playing capacity but from 1926 to 1928 took the field as captain. His tally of 108 games as South Melbourne coach remained a record until passed by Ian Stewart in 1981.
