    Let's hope he becomes one of the handful of players to score of the bench on their debut.

    Chris Eagles is the 77th player to score on his debut. (Igor was 76th)

    He is only the 6th player to have debuted from the bench and scored so well done him.

    I hope Chris Eagles has a better and longer Charlton career than those 5!

    So Bothroyd was the first CAFC player to score on his debut (off the bench)?
  • StigStig
    September 2005. We beat Hartlepool 3-1 in the League Cup. Bothroyd came on as a sub for Jonatan Johansson in the 75th minute and scored in the 81st.

    So that's forty odd years for the first goalscoring substitute debutant? Quite a stat.
  • StigStig
    edited February 2015
    Yes, but for most of that time there was only one substitute which means:
    - Less subs on the pitch
    - Likely to be used later in the game
    - Less likely to be a striker

    Still, as you say, it is quite a stat.
  • CallumcafcCallumcafc
    And I suppose squads would've been much more stable (and so less debutants) than they are now with the multiple transfers and loans each season.

    @Henry Irving - do you have the year when the 100th, 200th, 300th etc. appeared? Number 800 will be early next season at latest.

    Interesting to see we signed 100 players in our first 5 years as a League club.

    We should have a sweep on the date that the 1000th Addick player plays - I'll go first...August 14th, 2026.

    Thanks WSS and RJ.

    Can we break 800 this season?

    Have the club considered issuing Heritage numbers for every player? Something a bit different in football, though the England Cricket team use them as do the Warrington Wolves Rugby League side.

    Nice to see my suggestion getting a mention in yesterday's programme.

    But presumably some of those players would already have been at the club in the preceding Southern League season so would already have been registered with the club?
