Wait why is Statto an insult? You're into your Charlton Stats... maybe not so much to be pre-occupied by them but still.
"Statto" was a "anorak" bloke from the Baddiel & Skinner tv show from the 90's. Bloke was in his late 20's with glasses & would spout off meaningless football stats..........
For a centre forward Carl Leaburn's goals per game is poor but I'm sure if 'assists' stats existed in his era he would be high up the list. That's how I remember it anyway. I may be wrong????
Can I challenge you stattos to find out Charlton's best players list for goals per game?
Despite the "statto" insult I will try.
Dean Chandler 100% as scored in every game he played.
Later played for an England disability side.
But for players who played more than one or a handful of games.
George Tadman scored 50 (47 league plus 3 FA Cup) goals in 93 games (87 league, all top flight and 6 FA Cup) in the three seasons before WW2 when we were very good but that is beaten by Fred Whitlow who got 65 Goals (61+4) in 100 games (95 + 5) in the 2nd and 3rd divisions from 1927 to 1931.
However I think the winner is, until @shirty5 corrects me, is Ralph Allen
54 games and 48 goals (2 and 1 in the FA Cup) in our two consecutive promotion seasons in 35 and 36
In 1934/5 he scored 32 league goals in only 28 league games. This is still a club record for most goals in a season.
Seed sold him to Northampton but did replaced him with Tadman.

That's the ones I saw playing - I also saw Eddie Firmani in the dugout but I suppose that doesn't count :-)
The generation before me seemed to agree that Firmani and Leary were the kings, although those that saw Charlie Vaughan really rated him as well - a battering ram of a player by all accounts.

The only player I can think off who scored the same amount of goals as appearances would be Billy Beggs

Albeit in the wrong net...
