[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]Paul Benson is the 712th Addick ever and the 9th new Cap this season.
Jon Fortune is the current player with the most goals and the most appearances.
I wonder when the last time one player held both of those records?
Plus hold those two records whilst being the most recent signing.
True. I wonder if Killer held those records when he came back? Almost certainly top scorer. Was Peacock still playing or was he long gone. Gritt might have had more games
Killer returned in 1978, having scored 72 League goals in his first spell.
Keith Peacock played for us until 1979.
Second highest number of club appearances behind Sam Bartram, scoring 92 League goals.
3 times Player of the Year.
And, of course ...... famous coming on as the first ever substitute in the Football League.
Son Gavin played for Charlton, while Daddy Peacock was Assistant Manager.
That's another one for the history books!
Also Fry and Anyinsah are only the third and fourth players to score on their Charlton debuts as a substitute. The other two: Bothroyd and M Bent also in the same season -2005/06.
With Callum Harriot and Freddie Warren called up to tomorrow's FA Cup squad there is an outside chance of seeing Addicks number 714 and 715.
My guess is that they are there for the experience and to make up the numbers rather than being expected to play but you never know.
Now, look away now if you are worried about feeling old and time slippin' away but if Herriot plays he will, having been born on 4/3/1994, become the first first team Addick to have been born after the return to the Valley.
Warren was born just before the return on 2/11/1992.

[cite]Posted By: addick1965[/cite]I wouldn't mind seeing Herriot play as I watched him on Saturday Morning against Norwich U-18's and he looked very good indeed.
would be a good chance to vet him at first team level
[cite]Posted By: Stefco[/cite]You didn't predict Eccleston, just new Addicks, numbering 715 to 718. Any of us could've done that, you glory hunter, you!;-D
Who's next then? (& I don't mean a number, I mean a free man!):-)

And a goal in his first game as well. With Fry that is two débutante scorers this season.
That makes 10 new players this season plus we still await the return of Fortune making it 11 so a whole new team.
Worner
Francis, Doc, (Fortune), Fry
Smart, Macca, Martin, Anyinsah
Benson, Abbott

Both have been with the Club since U9 level.
Blimey ... doesn't that sound strange!

Unusual name - Scottish I assume, although it sounds like it has French origin. Can't remember any other Herriots.
Seip joins the growing list of players to have made the bench but who have never made an appearance.
Expect to see Addicks 715, 716, 717 and 718 in short order.
Why we getting him, that 716 is shite
Who's next then? (& I don't mean a number, I mean a free man!):-)
Didn't you get the "All Clique Whisper"?
One likely to be Wright-Phillips.
Bradley Wright-Philips is likely to be Addick 716
Will be interesting to see who else, if anyone, come in this week.
Still the loan market from Feb 7th remember.
And Fede Bassone is Addick 717. Welcome to him.
That will make 14 débutantes this seasons plus the returning Fortune.
Both could join the 71 players who have scored on their débuts list which already includes Fry, Anyinsah and BWP. from this season.
Yes, but not this season. He is one of the 71.
