    Kins------ Surely has to be the best ?
    Rufus------"couldhave been a real contender"
    Powel------The Three Lions , enough said.


    If only if only if only Rufus,Kinsella and Mendoncs had managed to carry on a bit longer (jeffers-Traore--Faye dont know how God dam lucky those wasters are)

    Parker - Lived round the corner from me, used to play football with him over the park, was always a tad older than me but to see him go on to play at such a high standard for my team was immense.
    Powell - Probably the last player to epitomise what Charlton is all about for me.
    Rufus - Just pure class, really he should have been at one of the top 4 in my eyes. Amazing player.

    Kinsella, Super Clive and Deano all unlucky to miss the the grade.

    Garry Nelson. I know he wasnt the best but he always seemed to me that he wanted to play for us. Scored enough to win me a few quid quite regular and i stalked him for years, I even got a picture of him me and my little boy this season

    John Humphrey. The best full back i ever saw thought he was fantastic when he started to run

    Richard Rufus. Words can not express how much i loved the Roof what a player what a man

    Top bump this one realy got me thinking

    Mark Reid
    Leroy Ambrose (duh)

    Sir Clive. For giving me the best football day out of my life.
    Mark Kinsella. Great driving force,passion and loyalty.
    Richard Rufus. Fantastic .Fast and always came out on top




    But I have to say I loved watching Halesy , Morts, Parker ,Johnny H etc etc.

    Graham Tutt - A disgusting Injury up at Sunderland ended the keepers career.
    Allan Simonson - best player I have ever seen in a Charlton shirt
    Jorge Costa - A truly class defender who raised the game of other around him.
  • Matt Tees
    Paul Walsh
    Richard Rufus

    That's hard. Just three? Ok here goes:

    Colin Powell - loved him as a kid. He was from a bygone age, an age where he used to always come over to the East Terrace at the start of a half and chat with the fans and would continue the conversation after the whistle had gone. And absolute Addick through and through

    Super Clive - It is very rare as a Charlton fan that you think you are going to score but every time this bloke got the ball in and around the box, I truly did believe he would. And that Wembley day still sends chivers down my spine.

    The Roof - Class as a player and as a man.

    Hello to everyone, new on here is what I am.

    Jim Melrose - 17 goals in our first season back in top division for 29 years fantastic headers in the play offs against Ipswich & Leeds

    Paul Williams - 17 goals in debut season again in old division 1

    Robert Lee - Quality player obviously all went wrong for him after he left us

    Would have put myself in the fans did pay for me after all

    Paul Walsh (Its always dismays me that he is such an arse and seems to have no time for Charlton)
    Robert Lee
    Chris Powell

    This thread is classic, great to see how everyones opinions differ - would be nice to see how the selections are affected by the time periods that we've all followed the boys.

    For me - and this is a terribly hard choice

    Kinsella - Best midfielder of our era - imagine him and parker in the same midfield at the tops of their games. Kinsella to me was the backbone of our rise up to the premier league - he had a edge to him, quality but never affraid to rough it if needed - an amazing leader, and even better he loves our club

    Mendonca / Hunt - To hard to seperate - Both had different qualities and both were underated by the media. Fantastic 110% pros. Its nice when you can say that they probably played the best football of their careers in the red shirt and gave us wonderful memories along the way. An if they would have been at the top of their game together in the same side (which they would have been barring clives injury problems) i think we would have seen the best striking partnership since Hales and Flash.

    Rufus - Legend. Enough said.

    Bubbling under - Jensen, Claus had superior ability - wasted talent - should have been better but was still top quality. David Whyte, Say waht you want about him but for me as a teenager watching my team he was the most exciting player to watch, on form almost unplayable - great skills what a waste!
    Mark Reid, Again absolutely rock solid and underated - if only we had him in our defence now - scored a few pens too!

    I can't give just 3 I'm afraid. I'd have to say, and this is in no particular order:

    Saša Ilić - For the Pen save
    Clive Mendonca - For the hat trick
    Richard Rufus - For spending his entire career at the Valley, all the vital tackles he made and that first memorable senior goal of his!
    Chris Powell - For being such a loyal servant to the club and an absolute living legend
    Paulo Di Canio - For the entertainment value

    This is so difficult so I've gone for one from the 70's, 80's and 90's:

    Colin Powell - for no particular reason, I just remember him chatting to my uncle on the halfway line during a match, suddenly the ball came his way, conversation stopped and he raced off down the touchline crossing to Hales who missed.

    Johnny Humphries - Again, no particular reason, just loved to see him get on the ball.

    Super Clive - for that hat-trick.
