Potentially four current keepers who have all played for us and in Internationals - Henderson (assuming he does play at some point), Randolph and Elliott plus Carson.
I can think of seven other keepers who have played for us and also at full International level during their career - Dan Kiely (ROI). Stephan Anderson (Denmark), Thomas Myhre (Norway), Sasa Ilic (Serbia), Tony Warner (Trinidad & Tobago), Carl Ikeme (Nigeria) and the one and only Charlie Wright who played for Hong Kong the once in 1960 whilst on National Service!

This is a classic 'chicken & egg' situation though.
If the team come out and play football to the best of their ability. Nobody boos them, most get right behind them.
If the team come out, look disinterested, make little or no effort and as a result get tonked 3-0 at home by a relegation candidate team. They will very likely get booed.
I had the misfortune to watch a rabble of a team, capitulate to Preston then Brentford. No effort, no passion, little ability.
Yesterday I had the misfortune (typical) to miss the game V the Massives. I'm given to believe our team went for it from the start and we actually outplayed the opposition. I even took a peek at 'Owlstalk' Even they conceded Charlton were better then them on the day.
Actually it's quite simple. If Henderson and the team give it their all, they won't get booed. If they make no effort, they may well get booed, deservedly so.
1 even 2 of those early goals go in against Brentford and the game against Brentford turns out like the Sheff Wed game in my opinion. You could see the confidence drain out the players when they didn't and Brentford score with their first chance. Confidence is such a big thing it makes that extra yards you run seem so much easier when you're confident you'll receive that pass or get back and make that tackle.
If so then Sam Bartram for England, stupid bastards couldnt be bothered to give him more caps
Unfortunately not. England played 29 unofficial wartime internationals between 11 November 1939 and 5 May 1945, 14 against Wales and 15 against Scotland!

Surely we can create an exception for the great man?
Joined Wycombe on an emergency loan last week and played in their 1-0 win against Barnsley.
Could he be an option if Steer gets sent back to Villa
He would never ever come near charlton under Duchatelet... Think I’m right in thinking he considered quitting football altogether whilst here!
Of course he would if no other offers came in. He's barely played in the last 2 seasons, his contract is up next summer, I can't imagine with his injury record that lots of clubs would be after him
