    Sorry, but "all time"?

    Well Sky pretends football started in 1992
    It does but we don't have to agree.

    Is this our favourite eleven or all time players in our lifetime.

    I know I wasnt around yet for Bartram / Peacock to not be in anyone's all time top 10 is strange really
  • C_A_F_CC_A_F_C
    Based on players that I've actually seen wear the shirt, just their Charlton careers alone and the impact they had on the club whichever level we were at at the time.

    Kiely
    Rufus
    Powell
    Parker
    Kinsella
    Jensen
    Jackson
    Bent
    Kermorgant
    Mendonca

    Hard to judge since I have only been a Charlton fan since the mid 90s.

    If we are talking personal favourites then mine would be:

    Chris Powell
    Steve Brown
    Sasa Ilic
    Clive Mendonca
    John Robinson
    Mark Kinsella
    Dean Kiely
    Johnnie Jackson
    Yann Kermorgant
    Darren Bent

    Honourable mention to Radostin Kishishev.

    Bent
    Bartlett

    In your lifetime is fine but that's not all time.

    Otherwise May is in the "All time" prime ministers because we weren't alive for Churchill or Attlee.

    Just as well the Charlton Hall of Fame has votes for players in three eras: pre 1950, 50 to 80, 81 to 2013 (five year qualifying period)

    Not always the best, but definitely my favourites ... and not exactly a top 10, more a first team squad:

    1. D Kiely

    2. J Humphrey (all-time favourite)
    5. R Rufus
    6. S Balmer
    3. C Powell

    7. C Jensen
    4. R Kishishev (second fav)
    8. M Kinsella
    11. P Mortimer

    9. C Leaburn
    10. C Mendonca

    Subs:
    12. S Brown (he won't let you down)
    13. B Bolder
    14. S Minto
    15. J Robinson
    16. J Melrose

    Edit: although my first Charlton match was 14 Feb 1981 I didn't start going regularly until the mid-80s, hence no Killer etc.

    Scotty Parker
    Sam Bartram
    Johnny Summers
    Eddie Firmani
    Mark Kinsella
    Claus Jenson
    Yann Kermogant

    My favorite player of all time was Stuart Leary but, after that, the names above are in no particular order.
    ,


    Would'nt disagree much with this list apart from maybe including John Hewie.

    Jeppson (again record speaks volumes).
    Kiely - does make 11 but couldn't leave him out.

    And already thought of 3 I've missed, either brilliant memories or getting old!
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    Really hard to do a "best" list as opposed to a "favourite" list

    What about players you didn't see?
    What league were we playing in - Killer never played in the 1st division for us, whereas Firmani and (for some of the time) Leary did?
    Is a top player with us for a short time (Costa) better than a lesser player who was with us for over 10 years (e.g. Brown)

    Bearing this in mind, and restricting myself to players I've seen

    Bolder
    Rufus
    Johnnie Robinson
    Parker
    Robert Lee
    Hales
    Jensen
    Kinsella
    Mendonca

    Only players I’ve seen. All could succeed at the highest level.

    Charlie Wright
    Mike Bailey
    Eddie Firmani
    Billy Bonds
    Richard Rufus
    Lee Bowyer
    Chris Powell
    Killer
    Scottie Parker
    Mark Kinsella
    Clive Mendonca

  • thai malaysia addickthai malaysia addick
    Of the ones I’ve seen:

    Alan Simonsen
    Paolo Di Canio
    Jorge Costa
    Darren Bent
    Eddie Firmani
    John Hewie
    Johnny Haynes (1 appearance in a friendly)
    Scott Parker
    Claus Jensen
    Mike Bailey

    I was too young to appreciate how good Stuart Leary and Johnny Summers were so I’ve left them out.
