All you have to do is find the players with these unusually large amount of letters in their name. All of the players have played since 1970 and are no longer with the club (Charlton, that is).
For example, 3 B could be Bob Bolder or Bobby Hunt as both contain 3 Bs. Of course, there is some greyness here as you could claim that Bob Bolder had 4 Bs if he was called Bobby Bolder, but we'll have to live with that.
Try these:
