Ten games or less for Charlton in the 80's and 90's

Lee power from naarwich, blonde/fair hair, stocky Lad, I thought he was going to be mustard

Dean Chandler - thought he played more than 3 games for us, but then again maybe his name is more prominent in my mind based on the big news he caused when he tested positive for cannibis along with Lee Bowyer.

Something tells me he scored one goal in those 3 games as well, away at Reading on last day of the season at Elm Park? I was only 7-8 at the time so can't remember for sure.

Correct Tom. I was 13 at the time. My first and only visit to Elm Park. We lost 2-1 I think. The beautiful green and purple 3rd kit was used 94/95 season

Just found some highlights on YouTube!

Lee Harmsworth was a kid who found himself plunged in for our thumping at City as they clinched promotion back to the top tier in a packed ground steeped in character and history (no, not the airline one). Poor sod froze in the headlights and never appeared again. He looked about 5'6" and never earned his own Solly-style song.

I read at the time that they were considering starting with Gritty in goal for that game.

Really? Just shows how stretched things were. One tear at Pompey we listed Tommy Taylor as a sub, the equivalent of including Alex Dyer under Chrissy.

Danny Mills - his lad attends Hurstmere and at parent evenings he's generally swaning around in a Fulham tracksuit so I guess he coaches one of its academy teams

Danny Warden not Waldon wasn't it. Big hair, winger? I remember him for some reason, I was only a lad and there for his debut (only game?). New players always excited me then as you had big expectations/dreams....too many 'Danny Wardens' later have left me somewhat more cynical!

Barry Little was a relative of mine, after dropping down the leagues he sadly passed away. Curbs seemed to really like him though, and even came along to the funeral. Shame he never made an impact during his time at Charlton.

I seem to remember him making his debut at QPR & us getting stuffed 4-1. Probably incorrect. RIP.

I don't recall Steve Jacobs or Marcus Smart.

Didn't Barry score our goal that night?

Johnny Oostergard scored an absolute belter at Wrexham if I recall correctly. We still lost 3.2 and got done by them 6.0 in the FA Cup.

Those games against Wrexham were held in quick succession and I went to both of them. In the league game, which was the second one, we were two up in the first fifteen minutes and still lost. I think that the 30 yard screamer from Oostergard was his only goal for us. In the cup game we left when it was 5-0, got back to the car and put the radio on to hear a guy confirm that Wrexham had put the game beyond doubt by scoring the sixth.

I saw the Steve Jacobs game. Played right back away to Lincoln in the League Cup (won 1-0 Robert Lee). Jacobs had a reasonable career at Brighton and Coventry.
