Charles Ross Pringle (18 October 1894 – 1966) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half.
Born in the village of Nitshill, south of Glasgow, Pringle's first professional club was St Mirren, for whom he signed during World War I. [3] On 12 February 1921 he won his only cap for Scotland in a 2–1 win against Wales. [4]
In 1922 Pringle signed for Manchester City, making his debut on 26 August 1922 in the opening game of the 1922–23 season, a 2–0 defeat at Sheffield United. He then proceeded to play in every Manchester City match for over a year. He was part of the Manchester City team which played in the 1926 FA Cup Final, and was captain for part of his City career. After winning a Second Division champions medal in 1927–28, Pringle left Manchester City in the close season as part of a venture to form a new club, Manchester Central F.C.
He later played for Bradford Park Avenue, [5] Lincoln City and Stockport County. After his playing career finished he became a coach. His coaching career included a spell at his former club St Mirren.
Pringle married Lily Meredith, the daughter of fellow Manchester City player Billy Meredith, and played in the same team as his father-in-law seven times.
