    Hey every one Dennis edwards is my grandad :)
    One of my favourite  players.  Where did the nickname Daisy come from ?

    I remember one game  against Plymouth in 1964 where he got two penalties  in  3 minutes at the end around 86th minute. 

    He had dived to head the ball but hot kicked to death twice. Smelling salts , pointed in the right direction,  bang, bang  from 0-2 down in 35 minutes to 3-2 winners against Malcolm Allison's team. Frank Lord was centre forward I believe  for Plymouth. He shook Dennis's hand at the end. He had earlier  retrieved a ball to hand back for a Charlton free kick. Teal sportsmen were Frank and Dennis
    He got the nickname because he had an unfortunate habit of ending up on the grass so often........hence being amongst the daisies.
    Surely Williams is the new Daisy then 😀😀
    Daisy Williams?

    Or as the OS might headline say, "Here comes Daisy!"  

    Nah, I think we'll stick with "Jonny". :smile:

    How about "Buttercup" Williams?
