Who is this player?

Henry IrvingHenry Irving
in General Charlton
Sorting through an incredible loan to the museum of postcards and photos going back to 1920.


Among them were these two photos.

Can anyone name the player? We assume it's a Charlton player but can't be sure.

And is it the same player standing on the left behind the players' coach in 1953?

Any information welcome

    No, definitely not Jepson.

    And the first photo is from 1946.

    Hayden Mullins?
    Definitely neither of them.

    It's most likely a reserve as we'd have recognised him otherwise.

    I feel that some people are not taking this important historical query seriously

    Looks like it was Jimmy Walls.

    I was wondering if it was Jock Campbell who was at Cafc from 1946 until 1958. 
    I was looking at Cafc players who were born between 1927-29 as the young picture in 46 appeared to be that timeline.

    The roof on the left recently repaired following bomb damage, the entrances to the covered end still there today...

    If they had social media back then people would complain about the white collar and hooped socks (or were they referred to as stockings back then?)
