    Most goals by a Charlton player (All Competitions) from start of season to 31st December 

    25 - Pearce - 1933
    20 - Whitlow - 1928
    20 - Allen - 1934
    20 - Horsfield - 1972
    18 - Leary - 1955
    18 - Hales - 1976
    17 - Firmani - 1954
    17 - Flanagan - 1977
    17 - May - 2023 (Up to 28/11)

    With 7 possible games in December, Alfie could more than likely be up to 2nd in the above list with a small chance of getting passed Cyril Pearce as well. 
    The fact that we have to go back five decades to find any player as successful as Alfie says it all. His tally for the last two seasons to the year end were just 6 and 10 respectively and he found the net exactly the same number of times post December for each of those seasons - 16 times. Happy days if he were to do the same again!

    Has now scored 66 goals since the start of the 21/22 season so less than 2.5 seasons. Incredible player at this level.

    Absolutely. And with a fantastic attitude and workrate to match.

    If only he was a natural penalty taker.   :)

    Mind you his movement and anticipation under pressure to nick his goal last night, proper poacher's goal. 
     
    Always in the right place at the right time.
    That's because he plays with his brain.

    Alfie May became the fastest player to reach 20 goals for Charlton in all competitions in 51 years on Saturday.

    That milestone was last reached in 1972/73 by Arthur Horsfield, who, like May, did so in 30 appearances.

    King Arthur, my hero at the time.

    And one of the nicest blokes to talk to, after he was sat next to me on the plane back from the Club's Tunisia trip in 1975


    Who did we play out there?

    A cracking trip that, I applaud you.

    Congratulations, Alfie & Lauren.

    That's our star striker, who won't get a proper night's sleep until the end of the season :)

    Congratulations to the Mays.
    I hope this doesn't mean Alfie's form falls off a cliff like many players who's partners have just given birth.

    If Alfie May scores against either Portsmouth or Derby he will be the first Charlton player to score at least 1 league goal in every month of the season up to February since Roy Matthews in 1963/64.

    Matthews scored in every month until March, but failed to find the net in April. The only other player to score up to and including February is Dennis Edwards. He scored at least 1 league goal in every month for the entire season in 1960/61.

    He had a kid recently I think? I hope sleepless nights aren't hitting him too hard as we need that bright and clinical version of Alfie until the end of season.
