I’ve looked online at a few squad lists and “forgotten” players seem to fall into two categories for me. Firstly are the players that I remember now that I’ve seen their names. Players such as Phil Ferns, Jimmy Mullen, George Hope and Luciano Masiello.
The other group are those who I cannot remember at all. Most of these played very few games. Examples of these are John Arnold, Chris Barnard and Gary Churchouse. Another I cannot remember at all is Paul Davies who played over 60 games for us in the early 70’s.
Probably not forgotten but I was surprised that Paul Bacon played in 33 matches for us. From memory I can only remember him starting a couple of games and only playing in a handful more.
Excellent call, remember seeing him in his one and only game at Selhurst, we beat Everton 3-2 (Jim Melrose hattrick). Thought he did Ok but never mentioned or seem again after that game, was he on loan anyone know?
Alan Davies - Welsh International who is sadly no longer with us. Unless I am mistaken made his only on loan appearance for us at Shrewsbury. I was there and I believe we lost 2-1.

And Cyril Davis, another Welsh International midfielder from the 70's

He played the first half the following week at home and was never seen again.
Am I the only person who would remember for example John Barnes , Mark Bright or Garth Crooks as ex Addicks when they appear on TV?
