Our purely defensive left back adds a goal to his assist
Must be the most prolific Full-Back we've ever had?
No that was the guy who scored a hat trick on his debut or Mark Reid.
I know. Mar Reid scored a few though. Kinsey also but left wing before switching. Hewie maybe ?
Impressive stats from all three... Just checked Wiki so might not be accurate but:
Mark Reid (15) | Brian Kinsey (19) | John Hewie (37)
Mark Reid was our regular penalty taker.
Brian Kinsey scored most of his goals as a left winger.
John Hewie played every position for Charlton - including goalkeeper, although he didn't score many in goal.
Bob Curtis has to have scored most as a full back. He was, in my opinion, our best ever penalty taker and did play at CB as well but I do remember him once scoring from about 35 yards at home. Think it might have been against Southampton
DJ's game was frustrating, yes, but he didn't hide and he caused a lot of threat. Didn't quite happen for him. Ended up probably trying too hard. He needs to keep at it and he'll get another go soon enough.

You're right Bob Curtis did score a few from Right Back. I can remember one spectacular effort from just inside his own half, must have been all of 70 yards - was it against Middlesbrough, October 1967 ..... ? He was only 17 at the time.
Theo Foley also regularly picked him as a midfielder for a while - it was about March 1971 and we had been really struggling at the foot of the table. With Curtis being dynamic and full of running in midfield, it inspired the team to comfortably stave off relegation. Scored a couple of piledrivers too.
And as you point out, he eventually became a mean penalty taker. Memories, eh?

Come on DJ I've been a huge backer but you're doing yourself no favours.
A touch of the 60 minutes tiredness
