Charlie Mitchell is a Scottish American former soccer defender and coach.
He played ten seasons in the North American Soccer League from 1970 to 1979.
Club career
Mitchell played for St Mirren F.C. In his native Scotland, he lived. He appeared in the National Soccer League with Sudbury Italia in 1969.
In 1970, he joined the Rochester Lancers of the NASL. In 1970, the Lancers captured the NASL championship, and Mitchell was named an NASL all-star. He appeared on NASL's second-team in 1971 and 1975, as well as an honorable mention all-star in 1972 and 1974. In 1977, he was named to the Decade Team of the Rochester Lancers.
Mitchell made his way to the New York Cosmos in 1976, where he assisted on a spectacular bicycle kick goal scored by his teammates Pelé in a game against the Miami Toros.
Mitchell played for Team Hawaii in 1977, where he became the player-manager in mid-season. Team Hawaii relocated to Tulsa in 1978 and became the Tulsa Roughnecks; Mitchell was the only player to be retained from the Hawaii roster.
Mitchell appeared for the Toronto Blizzard in 1979 and concluded his NASL playing career with a total of 206 NASL regular-season games and nine NASL playoff games. Throughout the season, he worked as an assistant coach for Toronto.
Coaching career
Mitchell returned to Tulsa as the Roughnecks' manager after completing his playing career. In the first round of the playoffs, the 1980 team had a 15-17 record and lost to the Cosmos. Mitchell's 1981 team was off to a good start, but his assistant Terry Hennessey took over in July 1981. This was due to team leadership's dissatisfaction with the Roughnecks' low-scoring offense, according to Sports Illustrated.
Later career
Mitchell remained a well-known figure in Tulsa, as a participant in local youth soccer teams and as a sports bartender. For nine years before he resigned in June 2005, he coached the men's and women's soccer teams at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
