And Swindon Town. And Plymouth Argyle.
And Southend ....!
He's an Essex lad.0 -
I know, but very strong Southend connections, and we were always desperate to get Chrissy but couldn't afford him at the time0

Alan McCormack .....?0 -
And the greatest of all.....Eddie Firmani0

He did but was at Southend before that (came through at Palace but I think you're supposed to keep that quiet).[cite]Posted By: wickford[/cite]I thought ChrissyP came to us from Derby?
Just noticed this on Powell's wikipedia pagePowell began his career in December 1987 as a trainee at Crystal Palace with Shaun Wright-Phillips but failed to become a regular with the first team.0 -
HA HA HA HA Shaun Wright Phillips is actually 45 FACT0

Pretty appalling at the back if I'm honest, Sankofa and Jamie Stuart at centre half!!! Even Chris Powell at LB wouldn't be able to mitigate for that. Centre-mid and forward line - decent.0 -
Did david whyte play for them too?0
-
yeh he did actually, briefly after he left us i think0
-
did we sign david young from southend0
-
No Happy, it was Sunderland0
-
Although, he might have gone there after us ........0
-
New to this guys so be gentle, how about Peter Hunt.0
-
David Young did go to Southend after he left us , so I'll change my team plus seven subs
Royce
Barness Sankofa Young Powell
Campbell-Ryce Bailey Jones Otto
Firmani Nelson
Subs : Bellotti , Stuart , Hunt , Brisley, Mccormack ,Whyte, Scott Houghton0 -

We sold James Walker to Southend a couple of seasons ago. Or is that the wrong way round?
Then there was Derek Woodley, a right winger who didn't really establish himself as a regular at Charlton, transferred to Southend in 1967.0 -
What appears to be the case that on the whole we did much better getting them in from Southend that vice versa. For the oldies.....can someone remind me why Firmani went to Southend. Did he fall out with Bob Stokoe? His record at Southend was still hot 24 goals from 55; previous with us 32 from 55.0

Then went to Gillingham last season, where Royce, McCammon, Yussuff, Barry Fuller and later on Dickson on loan were.0 -

Jills is not just a scrapyard of Southend players with recent Charlton connections. Remember when Keith Peacock was manager, and Paddy Powell, Ritchie Bowman, Peter Hunt ...... and of course Killer ended up at Jills?
I expect Jon Fortune will spend the last season of his career there.0 -
A Charlton / Gillingham team would be the subject of some debate ,here's my attempt :
Royce
Humphrey Berry Shaw Mceveley
Powell Tydeman Bowman Walker
Gavin Peacock
Hales
Subs : Randolph,Lisbie,Robinson,Dickson,Wright,Landsdowne,Shipperley0 -
The giant Dave Shipperley was a better centre half than the rotund and less mobile Peter Shaw.
No place for Peter Hunt in the squad?
That notional Jills team would have to be managed by Keith Peacock, of course.0 -
Couple of our players who came through the ranks were loaned to Gillingham - keeper Lee Harrison made a 2 appearances, while JLloyd Samuel played 8 League games in 2001-2.
Midfielder George Shipley, part of our 1985-86 promotion team and 86-87 top flight Division One side under Lennie, spent 2 years at the Priesthood or whatever they call it.
Keeper Derek Bellotti played for both clubs in the seventies. Remember his jingle we used to sing based on a pop record of the time: "Bellotti's not Bonnetti, we can tell, tell, tell......!" Peter Bonnetti (or the Cat) was the Chelsea and England keeper of the time, infamous for his England performance in the Mexico 1970 World Cup quarter Finals against West Germany - England were 2-0 up and conceded 3 goals in the last 15 minutes.
And back way beyond even my Dad's first match at The Valley, Charlton frontman George Tadman had a season at Gillingham.
There's bound to be others we've overlooked or before our time.0 -
Recent times Randolph and Josh Wright have been loaned to Gills whilst they obviously have a few of our other youngsters.0
