Not sure if this has been done so sink if so, I've seen best Charlton 11 etc but what would be your personal Favorite Charlton 11 meaning player's of weaker era's like our current team might get a look in where's realistically a lot would struggle considering the year's we've spent in the top tier.

GK: Dean Kiely - Without a doubt best keeper we've Ive seen, saved us so many point's.

RB: Chris Solly - also good for a youth player to make the grade and hardly ever has a bad game.

LB: Chris Powell - The prodical son

CB: Herman Hriedasson - Absolute beast, could start a arguement in an empty room. So much passion.

CB:Richard Rufus - Wembley, Pace & Power. was so gutted hearing news of his retirement.

RM: Claus Jensen - I cheated a little bit here because I couldn't leave a man who oozed such class out but he did play a few games wide for us.

LM: Johnnie jackson - The best captain since Kins!!!! Really fit's in the mould of a true Charlton player

CM: Scott Parker - The best player to have played for us in my time watching which made me hate him so much before. Feel if he stayed till end of season he would have been Roy Keane's replacement

CM: Mark Kinsella - Great captain, stayed with us when we went down and proudly let us back up.

CF: Yann Kermogant - An absolute beast and got the quality to go with it, made an instant impression on me coming on and scoring against Sheff U

CF: Paulo Di Canio - I can't believe he was 35 when we had him, had that natural ability that perhaps I haven't seen. instantly brought the crowd to there feet.

Subs

Rob Elliot- One of our own and always will be

Andy Reid - Probably the toughest decision not finding a place for him, that fat lad could play and still can.

Rhoys Wiggins - After Yann my current favorite player, feel he will be in the prem before two seasons

Jose Semedo - Okay came at a bad period of our history but his commitment well and truly won me over

Clive Mendonca - Wembley!!!!! Shame like Rufus that injuries got the better of him.

    It was difficult to read all of that due to lack of gaps... To bunched together... Edit!!!

    Surprised "The killer" didn't make your team!!!

    Only been a regular since the mid nineties so my team over that period would be:

    Kiely, Young, Powell, Rufus, Perry, Stuart, Jensen, Parker, Reid, Bent, Kermorgant

    Subs: Ilic, Solly, Kinsella, Mendonca, Di Canio

    That's Darren Bent by the way ;-) Harsh not to have a spot for Mendonca in the first team but don't think him and Bent would have worked. No Costa as he wasn't with us long. Honorable mentions to Andy Hunt, Mark Fish and HH.

    Nobody ever puts David Whyte in these teams. Enigmatic genius, worth a place on the bench in my book.

    Favourite team is very different to best team, and there are a number of other players who I could easily have chosen for this one. I think I pick a different team every time this question pops up..

    Not one player is in everybody's team. Seems like Rufus is the most popular choice.

    Nicky Johns-----paid alot of money for him at the time and a class keeper.
    Humphrey ------class would have played for England if he hadnt been at CAFC
    Costa ----World class
    Rufus--- class and see Humphreys re England
    Powell---played for England
    Jensen---such a smooth/classy player
    Kinsella --- all time fav player ---what would someone like him cost us now?
    Parker---Played for England and his battles against Veira of Arsenal a true world class player showed how good Parker was.
    Simonsen---World class
    Mendonca---huge shame re injuries but a great scoring rate at the highest level even with his injuries
    Bent---gutted he never went to the World cup instead of some 5 year old goonershit kid, a great finisher.
