    Has to be Killer. He put Charlton on my map.

    You think Charlton is in east London...you need a new map :-)

    North Stand should be named after Curbishley. West after Bartram.

    Bit harsh. He brought some good players to the club, who may well take us forward.
  • Have to agree with AA, for sheer longevity and loyalty, Keith Peacock.

    Leaburn
  • Keef
    Killer
    Mendonca
    Curbs
    SCP

    Been thinking about it for a while now and it's a tough choice but I think its got to be Curbs. (praps)

  • Leaburn

    na, he was a good player but for me in my lifetime...

    Johnny Robinson

    he gave it his all every game. he might not have been the most technically gifted player but his passion always made up for it.
  • Lennie is THE man.
  • Kim Grant
  • Keith Peacock by a country mile.

    Given his whole life to our club.
  • Derek Killer Hales.
  • Derek Hales for me.
  • Has to be Killer

  • Difficult for me, only two contenders, heart says Killer, brain says Curbs

    KP for me, almost should be a lifetime achievement award given the longevity of his connection with the club.
  • Chris Powell
  • Derek Ufton for me - legend and my first proper football coach (I was at school with his 2 sons, so that was convenient!)
  • Marcel Seip.
  • I know i'm an oldie but you young uns don 't realise how great Bartram was.

    In the eyes of the wider footballing world it is Alan Curbishley. Get into any conversation with a neutral and he is the name they bring up.

    The excellent stadium we have is largely down to the success he brought us.

    He was there in our most important time when we moved back to The Valley, and he was there to take the story full circle by winning the most thrilling game in Wembley Stadium history and making us a Premier League force.

    If you list the top 50 Charlton players of all time, he managed a lot of them.

    My personal favourite Charlton 'character' is Chris Powell, by a long way. But without Curbs, he may have never even played a game for Charlton let alone become a Charlton legend.

    Same goes for Mendonca, Kinsella, Kiely, Parker, Robinson, Hunt, Bent, Brown, Rufus - the list goes on.

    We had players represent the England team under Alan Curbishley

    The fact he doesn't have a stand named after him is baffling. Nobody is likely to repeat that sort of success for us over such a long period in the same way.

    He is Mr Charlton.

    I would support having a stand named after Curbs. Maybe something for us to consider when we no longer have to fight for the club itself.
