Biography: Hello, me old flower!' The unmistakeable words of Charlie Williams, one of Britain's best loved comedians. Charlie never intended to become a comedian. He had his sights firmly set on a career in professional football. Indeed, he played for Doncaster Rovers for twelve years. But he enjoyed singing, particularly Nat King Cole - he sang in the dressing room, in the showers, in the coach on the way home from to a game... and told funny stories too. Encouraged by his mates, he started entertaining in the Working Men's Clubs in Yorkshire on Saturday evenings - and the rest as they say - is history!. In spite of his fame and fortune, Charlie lived a simple life in a little village near Barnsley until his death in September 2006.
