Goalkeeper Charles Sterry was a regular in the Wednesday team and made a single appearance for the first XI in the Athenian League towards the end of the 1920/21 season. After several seasons playing for Van Den Bergh's in the Wimbledon & District League he impressed while standing in for a friendly against Kingstonians near the start of the 1924/25 season and was soon the Dons regular custodian.

Toured Germany with Ilford during Summer 1930.

Another of the Wimbledon players to join Hayes when they were elected into the Athenian League in 1930. He joined Hayes on the back of a tour to Germany which he had made with Ilford, who provided Hayes' opening opponents for the 1930-1 in a friendly match. Ilford won 7-1 and Sterry immediately took the place of the unfortunate guardian for that game and played in the opening FA Cup and league matches but was displaced after four appearances. He later played for Hayesco, the works team of the Hayes Cocoa Company (later Nestlé) until their demise in 1936, and was appointed Hayes' 2nd team manager in 1937.
