Who is this Charlton player?
I found this photo in a Polish football magazine, in an article about football injuries. He is wearing a Charlton badge but the article does not name him. I have trawled photos on google but I can't work out who is was. I reckon that the photo was taken during the late 1970's but that was a bit before my time.
Does anyone know who he is?

Les Berry. You don't the legend that is Les Berry ? :-)
He played for us forever, when I was a kid.
He was my original hoof ball merchant.
I loved Les Berry in a hoofball Charlton type of way.5 -

That was the year we got promoted from Div 3 and beat Harlow Town away in Rd 1 before going out at Portman Road in Rd 5 and was there. Vivid memory of Terry Naylor riding on the back of Paul Mariner desperately trying to bring him down as he broke on our goal from the half way line. 0 -

Fantastic day out at Portman Road that day. we were both flying high in our respective divisions and I really fancied us to pull off a surprise. lost 2-0 of course!
Excellent turnout for the Addicks that day, followed by some lively discussions with Millwall fans who we're waiting for us back at Liverpool Street after the game.0 -

My Dad still calls hoofing the ball out over the top of the stand "a Les Berry clearance". Admittedly it's been a while since that's happened due to the development of the ground - last time I remember was Konchesky sending a ball over the top of the East Stand.Covered End said:Les Berry.

It may well have been due to Being shown on TV. When shirt sponsorship first appeared, it wasn't worn when shown on the Beeb, due to their non advertising policy............fattmatt said:I thought that shirt had FADS on it?

Les Berry.
Met him on a bus in Beckenham coming back from a midweek home game last season.
Said he does not go The Valley much, he laughed when I said I was surprised he was not given a lifetime season ticket for his services.

We can't have had a classier centre back partnership than the days of Les Berry and Big Dave Shipperley.
And don't get me started about the quality of our back four when Berry moved to right back! The vehicles at Bexleyheath Bus station wouldn't have had a bigger combined turning circle that lot!

Raspberry les.
Remember him scoring an owl goal in front of the covered end against Swansea I think. The headline the next day read. Raspberry Les. A good old pro.1 -
Les was a Berry good player.0

Anyone have any idea where I could get a replica of this shirt from. What a beauty.0

Met him when we used to bunk off school and watch them train at new eltham. Drove a brown mk4 cortina and was often puffing on a fag.0

Could put a spin on the ball like Jimmy White.....0

Dear old Les Berry.
Close on 400 games for us. Epitomised a true Charlton player for me. Not the most talented but gave everything and more for the cause. Master of the back pass and the row Z or Charlton Church Lane clearance too.
Decent cricketer for West Wickham (the late Brian Moore's club as well incidentally) and Hayes.0 -
Once blocked two maidens from Les in a club game. He was an ok bowler.
He does a bit of voluntary work for The Samaritans now I believe.

Worked with his daughter Emma at a travel agents and saw George Best play at his testimonial against Arsenal.
Those were happy carefree days!0
