William Charles Athersmith Harper (10 May 1872 – 18 September 1910), known as Charlie Athersmith, one of the most famous name in football of the final part of the 19th century, was highly regarded among the quickest wingers in Britain. Athersmith played a key role in Villa's title-winning sides of 1894, 1896, 1897, 1899 and 1900 as well as reaching three FA Cup finals, finishing on the losing side in 1892 before gaining winners' medals in 1895 and the Double-winning final of the 1896–97 season.

In his day he was the fastest football player in the country, and won many prizes on the running track. In running matches he met with several notable success, and at distances varying from 100 yards to a quarter of a mile he was without a doubt one of the fastest men on his day.
