Think you could include Grant Basey. Never really recovered after he was taken out badly by a Plymouth player. Career went downhill and has just announced his retirement.
Was it not Blizzard for Bristol Rovers?
Blizzard did Basey. The Plymouth bloke (Timor?spelling) did Todorov. The incidents occurred within a few months of each other so easy to confuse with the passage of time.

It was Blizzard of Bristol Rovers that done Basey.

That wonderful referee Trevor Kettle was in charge of the Bristol Rovers game where Basey was injured.

Oops think you are right. And @iaitch . Pretty sure it was on TV although my memory is fading fast...
They were the two I thought of when not on original list. Great minds.
So many good players during the 1970's played for Charlton, and such a shame that the board didn't invest in the team to give us a chance of promotion, especially when Hales and Flanagan were scoring for fun.
Wasn't it Blizzard who did Kelly Youga in the home fixture? Certainly was a criminal challenge from a Bristol Rovers player.
Youga was one of the best players early part of that season, with the appalling no-pace/energy legacy of Pardew, Youga was one of the few around that time who was dynamic with some pace. Never anywhere near the same player again.

I thought he just took a whack to the knee nothing bad

And rob styles gave a free kick and booking for just about every challenge that went in except for of course the only career ending challenge on toddy which he waved play on to
Harold Hobbis. England international (winger) just before WWII. Broken leg, never played again. In the 60s and beyond, first landlord of The Valley pub upon it's opening
Remember Harold at The Valley pub soon after it opened, as I became a regular for a while, calling in on the way to home games

I know the pub sign was sold on eBay but does anyone know if the big picture of the east terrace get saved?
I still blame the ref for that one. Plymouth decided to kick us off the park and he let them which ultimately resulted in them finishing the career of a decent player. I think the ref let them off that particular assault too

Yes, our defence was not up to scratch - but we had terrific forwards!

Those were the days, with Colin Powell flying down the wing and making pinpoint crosses, Keith Peacock supporting from midfield. Not forgetting King Arthur with his goals as well.

I may have got it confused with the injury that prevented Charlie appearing in the 1947 Cup Final.
Brilliant at the back alongside Humphrey, Reid and Thompson in the 85/86 season - the 4 of them cost £155k - teixeira's wages for around 3 months.
