Charlton was the best snooker player ever to come out of Australia. He was ranked number three in the world for five consecutive seasons from 1976/77, the first year of the world rankings, though surprisingly he never won a ranking tournament. In 1972, 1973, and 1980, he was victorious in the BBC's Pot Black competition, giving him a high profile with television viewers. He was one of the torch carriers when the Olympic Games game to Melbourne in 1956, and later in his career he took up billiards. He stopped competing in 1995.
