Following yet another serious injury, Oatway retired from playing with immediate effect on 2 August 2007. Oatway's career at Brighton was successful. He won the League Two championship in 2001, the League One championship in 2002 and was a League One playoff champion in 2004.^[1]

[edit] Outside football

Oatway's full name is Anthony Philip David Terry Frank Donald Stanley Gerry Gordon Stephen James Oatway. The reason behind this rather unusual name is the fact that both his parents were big Queens Park Rangers fans, and decided to give their son the names of QPR's entire 1973 first-team squad.^[2] When his parents told his aunt the proposed name, she said "he'd look a right Charlie", and the name stuck.^[3]
