Albert George Uytenbogaardt (5 March 1930 – 25 October 2024) was a South African footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Uytenbogaardt moved to England and signed for Charlton Athletic in 1948. He made his senior debut on 18 December 1948 in a 4–1 home win against Stoke City.[1] He mainly served as backup to established first choice keeper Sam Bartram,[2] and his first team opportunities were severely limited. He made six Football League appearances in five seasons at the club, but is notably also credited for scoring a goal for the club in a reserve team game.[3] He later returned to his home country to play for Cape Town City.
Uytenbogaardt also represented the South African national team from 1955 to 1957.[4]
Uytenbogaardt died on 25 October 2024, at the age of 94.[5][6]
