Mark Robson.... John Robinson was the player who had the successful career but I thought Robson was a cracking player and cant remember what happened to him...
Poor old Paul Hayes. Lovely skillful player but had the misfortune of being around at the same time as our best and most beloved player since the Premier League days. Terrible luck
Think he’s playing in the Isthmian South East League for Faversham Town now
Kept us up with that sweet winner in the 1-0 over Leeds.
Admittedly he did little else for us, but was fantastic for Iran.

Started very slowly for us, then returned from the African Cup of Nations and was bloody good. Clearly protected himself by cruising along at 50% before then.
In our promotion season 85/86 at Selhurst Park I used to like George Shipley and thought he was an important part of that team. He also chipped in with a few goals including one at Millwall I think in a 2.2 draw although I might be wrong.

Melrose (on debut) and Shipley from the edge of the box that day.
The most underrated player for me was Diawara - thought he was a real quality player who many of our fans never rated. One of the best tacklers I've seen.
We've had such a churn of players over the past 10 years, I'll see someone named and think 'Oh yeah... Bloody hell... He played for us. Totally forgot about him.'
Top quality he was. Gutted when he went.
I'll echo support for Graham Stuart. He could do everything. But he had an uncanny knack for being able to drive the team 25-yards up the pitch just by running with the ball seemingly into a dead end, then turning and passing it back to everyone who had moved up behind him.
We weren't the best at moving the ball around back then and it helped us get a foothold in games.
I also thought Greg Shields and Garry Rowett looked brilliant. Shame injuries cut their Charlton careers short.

As a youth player his team mates called Stuart “Bobby” - as they thought he was the new Bobby Moore.

I refer you to the runaround Jermain Easter gave Diawara in that league cup game. Diawara had an excellent career in football but none of it was with us

None of these other than Diawara and the Keepers were ever actually underrated IMO. Lots of them were rated quite highly whilst we were here. Kishishev for example one of our most rated players in my lifetime.
I agree, no one I knew underrated Kish, we all thought he was great

Barely got a kick for us.

His defensive work as a full back was superb. I recall him taking the ball from attackers time after time, like candy from a baby.
