With the great fly kicker going into politics, I wonder if any former Charlton players might make good politicians, and if so what position they might be best suited for.

Chris Powell would make an excellent head of the UN.
Or the Secretary of State for Defence. Obviously
Fiish could be Secretary of State for International Development.
Johnny Robinson - Secretary for Work and Pensions. Always worked hard on the pitch and is now close to pensionable age.
Peter Garland. Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Well the food bit anyway.

    I'd make Fiish Cabinet Secretary so he could polish the glass meeting table....

    (CNN) -- Former Manchester United footballer Eric Cantona said Tuesday he wanted to campaign for the French presidency -- but commentators said the announcement was a publicity stunt to turn the spotlight on the plight of poor people.

    Cantona has written to French mayors to obtain the 500 signatures needed to stand in April's election, Liberation newspaper reported. The 45-year-old told them he was "a citizen very much aware of our times," and would stand up for the young and poorly housed.

    But the bid was interpreted by Liberation as a way of publicizing his cause of better housing, rather than a genuine presidential campaign. Nicolas Sarkozy of the UMP party is bidding for re-election in April against Socialist rival Francois Hollande.
