There are no right or wrong answers here. I was born mid 80's so here are mine.

1. Alan Curbishley - for 8 amazing seasons in the prem
2. Chris Powell - I dont think anything needs to be said
3. Richard Rufus - One club man and the best centre back I have seen in a Charlton shirt
4. Mark Kinsella - What a captain
5. Clive Mendonce - 98' playoff final

    born 1980 and can't argue with this! Steve Brown, Johnny Robinson, Dean Kiely, Darren Bent and Keith Peacock could also make the list

    1. Sam Bartram - Got a statue for a reason

    2. Keith Peacock - There will never be a greater servant to the club

    3. Jimmy Seed - Arguably made the club what it is today... oh and an FA cup!

    4. Alan Curbishley – To do what he done with the budget he had was unbelievable, shame on anyone that wanted him to leave!!!

    5. Chris Powell – because I have a man crush on him!

    1.Keith Peacock- Agree with Olly,clubs greatest servant.Even though I thought he was going to kill me once!

    2.Alan Curbishley- Mans a God .End of.

    3.Clive Mendonca- Wembley and all that!

    4.John Robinson- Just for sheer effort for the cause!

    5.Charlie Revell- Poor man missed out in 47 and had the impossible task of teaching me to play football at school!

    Born in '82

    1. Powell
    2. Rufus (nearly made top spot). Curbs has obviously done more for the club but I love Rufus.
    3. Curbs
    4. Mendonca. The 97/98 season spent in the F Block singing "Super Clive" was the best.
    5. Steve Brown. I remember him being sent off, socks down, muddied shirt, and he just ignored the North stand who were singing his name. Not rude, just cool. Ha ha

    Killer - my favourite player, provided so much excitement ... and lots of goals

    Clive Mendonca - for the greatest final ever

    Chris Powell - as a player and a manager, he epitomises Charlton for me

    Johnny Robinson - never been a more committed player in a Charlton shirt

    Alan Curbishley - he got us our dream of regular top-flight football ... and when you have been following since the 60's, that means a lot


    No doubt that I could justify a couple of changes to that list, but happy with it as it is ... for now ;-)

    Bartram, Seed and Welsh are clearly legends but before my time. As were the later Firmanui and Summers. In no particular order - since seriously following us in 1975 - I'd say: 1) Rufus - My all time favourite player - best defender never to have played for England 2) Hales - Killer was my childhood hero and the most natural striker you could care to find 3) Powell - For his England Cap, performances and management 4) SuperClive - Wembley and his other goals and finally 5)Alan Curbishley for being such a great manager for us.

    Pardew was a very good player for us. Not a legend but very good all the same.

    1. Derek Hales
    2. Robert Lee
    3. Peter Shirtliff
    4. Clive Mendonca
    5. Alan Curbishley

    (Chris Powell first reserve!)

    FTR - Claus Jensen & Jim Melrose are favourite past players of mine, however I wouldn't class them as club legends.
