Rest in peace, Charlie.

I always had special interest on former L'pool keepers, and have found myself reading about the likes of him, Elisha Scott and many others before.

Thoughts are with his family and friends.

Well done for the title Charlie, R.I.P and ynwa.

Sad to hear this, R.I.P Charlie

 I saw Charlie play many times and to my mind he was a good keeper,unfortunately he had to contest a first team place with Cyril Sidlow who was first team choice and Russel Crossley.R.I.P. Charlie and thanks for the memories.

RIP CHARLEY, hope you can see the game from heaven.

Thanks Charlie, RIP, YNWA.

RIP Charlie.

RIP Charlie old chap YNWA

I've supported LFC for possibly forty years and about ten years ago was told by my grandmother's sister that her Uncle Charlie (Ashcroft) played for us after the war, possibly explaining my family's red devotion. I found out what little I could about him, but only realised today that he had been still alive - I was thrown by the fact that he was actually younger than my grandmother and her sister and as my grandmother died during WWII, I didn't have a lot of contact with that side of the family.

I wish I'd realised he this, maybe I'd have got in touch and told him about the influence he'd had on me and my family's life. Sent him a picture of my two young daughters in their LFC shirts.

This is a really nice thread. Respect.

R.I.P. Charlie,  Y.N.W.A.

Rest In Peace Mr. Ashcroft sir, and thank you for everything you gave. Gone But Never Forgotten, You'll Never Walk Alone.
