Many Villa fans from the era often recalled a famous incident during a league game in 1901 against Sheffield United which was played in driving freezing rain. Many of the players, including the legendary United goalkeeper Willie Foulke suffered mild frostbite in the bitter conditions. Finally, early in the second half Charlie had had enough and borrowed an umbrella from a member of the crowd. Minutes later United’s Ernie Needham went one better and took a great coat from a spectator. Athersmith, complete with umbrella later scored.

In 1901 he joined Small Heath, where he made 106 appearances and scored 13 goals.

Athersmith represented England at outside right on 12 occasions and scored three goals, each of which came against Ireland.
