I've read an interesting article about pairs of clubs who have been represented by the same player whilst in the league. Rochdale and Oldham are top of the pile with 123 , followed by Lincoln and Notts County (115), Exeter and Torquay (112), Rochdale and Stockport (109) and Rochdale and Bury (106). Geographical proximity and a similar status of the clubs are clearly key factors.
Charlton don't feature in that list but they are joint fourth in the list of trios of clubs who have 'shared' the most players, in this case with Gillingham and Southend - a total of 16. Whilst the late Colin Cameron and Dr Kish could doubtless rattle the names off, the only ones that I can recall off hand are Joe Pigott, Peter Hunt and Jim Stannard.
Charlton, Orient and Southend feature in eighth place in the same table, with 15 players. The only players that spring to mind are Ricky Otto and Joe Pigott (again). Who are the others ?

Here’s what I’ve got. There may be some later ones too:
Charlton, Gillingham and Southend: Henry Allen (V061) also played for the magnificently named Gnome Athletic; Derek Woodley (V333); Derek Bellotti (V359); Peter Hunt (V372); Martin Robinson (V410); Jim Stannard (V463); Simon Royce (V580)…
Charlton, Orient and Southend: Harold Halse (V009); Fred Dewhurst (V020); Steve Smith (V040); Bobby Turnbull (V066); Jack Oakes (V188) trial only for Clapton Orient; Terry Brisley (V409); Ricky Otto (V558); Charlie MacDonald (V588); Jamal Campbell-Ryce (V609); Lloyd Sam (V624); Alan McCormack (V705)…

In recent years, Palace definitely seem to have been the London club we've shared most players with, way more than say Millwall or West Ham
