    On my late father's ratings I would also have to pick Duncan Edwards but as he's already been mentioned I'll go for Tommy Lawton 285 goals in 383 games.

    By regret I take it we had to be alive to have stood a chance? If so then it would have to be Zenedine Zidane for me.

    I agree with sirjohn, Duncan Edwards, as i saw Best, Law and Charlton at their peak and always wished I could have seen Edwards play.

    Agree. Would have been great to watch him every week. Balletic style. A one off.

    Also Cory Gibbs and Karim Bagheri. Most of all though I'd have liked to have seen Djimi Traore and Amdy Faye play - just once.

    In the flesh Michael Laudrup, Reuben Sosa, and someone not quite as good but just exquisite on his day Recoba.

    Fortunately we got to see Bergkamp at the Valley, probably my favourite player of the modern era: Maybe only Gazza the year after the 90 World Cup when he went mental at Luton for Tottenham, in his goalscoring and importance that season.

    Lucky enough to see him play for us in Les Berry's testimonial game. Got in from school and my old man said we were off to watch a legend play for Charlton.

    Pele or Stanley Matthews for me.

    Has to be Stuart Leary for me given that I started supporting Charlton in season 62/63 and thus would have seen him had he not fallen out with Frank "Tiger" Hill in that pre season.

    I was lucky enough to see him play cricket for Kent on quite a few occasions.

    I saw Hasselbank play for Chelsea but never for Charlton. I regret this.


    Sorry, - edit - just noticed that this joke has already been done.

    I saw Best play in Les Berry's testimonial at the Valley and he was brilliant! Simply brilliant! Anybody else remember that game?

    Would like to have seen Sam Bartram play - seemed a real character from the biography I read.

    You've still got a chance of seeing Messi live though NLA, England vs Argentina at Wembley maybe? Charlton at the Nu Camp? ;-)
