    168 goals for Charlton. 
    As I used to go home and away most weeks back then I probably saw the majority of his goals live. 
    My all time favourite Charlton player.
    Mine too.

    I wonder if in 40 years time we will have a similar thread for Gas the non shooter ahadme. Or chucks the 20 minute wonder man aneke. Jones would still choose the latter 2 over Hales 🙈
    Surely not Killer was signed from Luton

    Going by his name, did Derek actually murder anyone?
    Yes, there's photographic evidence.  That's why he got his nickname.

    You're probably not wrong. You wouldn't find Killer chasing back & closing down defenders.

    What a striker he was. Electric over 10 yards, strong as an ox and rarely out muscled by much bigger defenders. So quick on the turn and somehow always managed to get his foot in first when it mattered. Not to mention his positional sense. He had Paddy always seemed to be on the same wavelength.
    Today's football is so horribly sterile in comparison to those days.

    That "Goal of the Season" goal. If that was today when Powell was confronted by the full back he would've checked back, played the ball back to our full back and the ball would end up back with our keeper. But we would've retained possession and the XG against would live to fight anther day, so good news for the stattos.
