Paul Walsh up front for Pompey away at Tranmere, on a Friday night obviously Paul Emblen for Brighton, during their exile at Gillingham's unflushed toilet, getting kicked all over by some strapping northern cloggers in the 4th division. Must have seen the turncoat Defoe play against us at The Valley but I discount him as a Charlton player cos he lost the right to that accolade by his chicuntery. Helluva striker tho, and for so many years - bastard would have been revered in the SE7 pantheon even he'd only stayed for a season or so. Does Semi Ajeyi count? Saw him floundering around once or twice for Dartford as a youngster - premier league??? You'd have been laughed out of Princes Park by all present for suggesting anything so ridiculous.
Billy Bonds, saw him for the hamsters against us in the 70's.
My brother played in the Eltham sunday league and won the Billy Bonds trophy for young player of the year, about 1976/77, for Moatbridge. Billy Bonds started his career there.
Saw Jim Melrose play for Partick Thistle many a time in the mid to late 70's growing up in Glasgow. Didn't move down to London until '86 and didn't start start attending home games until we returned to the Valley so never got to see the legend play in a red shirt
I was lucky enough to have attended the three games which has meant that I haven't seen Levitt, Inniss, Smyth, Millar or Schwartz.
However, I have never seen them play live for anyone.
I went to the MKD game only, but that did tick off a surprising number of new players in Gunter, Watson, Shinnie, Gilbey, Bogle, Washington, Famewo, Washington, nearly all of which I would have seen playing for other clubs except Famewo. Gilbey played for MKD at The Valley in November 2017 incidentally

I can add Maatsen for the AFC Wombles game as well.
Billy Bonds (West Ham)
Mark Kinsella (Colchester)
Derek Hales (West Ham)
Paul Walsh (Liverpool)
Robert Lee (Newcastle)
Alan Curbishley (Brighton)
Chris Powell (Crystal Palace Reserves)
Clive Mendonca (Sheff Utd)
and many more....
Did you misread the thread title or did you just avoid Charlton games for decades?
How can you have seen Mendonca play for Sheff Utd but not for us, when the guy scored a hat trick in a Wembley final? Powell for Palace reserves (which can't have been often) but not ever in the 7-8 years he played for us?

I suspect that this season will give me some new additions to this list .
Marcus Tudgay (Sheff W)
There must be several, who played against Charlton, but I just don't remember seeing.
Dean Chandler
Does these count?

Sadly ended up at Millwall and or Gillingham!
Lee bowyer
I would say there is a high possibility of Shinnie as well
Definitely Maddison as well again seen him play for Peterborough but not seen him live for us yet
Billy Bonds for West Ham.
Not sure why I posted that, must have had a senior moment.
