    Rhoys Wiggins and Michael Morrison, both playing for a team in the playoff positions in the championship. both not good enough for Charlton according to Katrien. Another fine example of how good the muppets are in charge.

    Thought the same thing myself mate, how can any club let those two go and end up with Roger Johnson and Morgan Fox in their place is infathomable.

    Morrison looks solid as a rock still and Wiggins (whilst taking injuries into account), will always be a better player than Fox.
  • Hearing of Rhoys and Danny Ings who having missed one season, is now out for the rest of this one with his other Knee now, Makes you realize that for all the highs of playing football for a living, the lows must be terrible when the joy of being fit and kicking a football, is taken away from you.
    Plus players feel left out when they can't train with their mates.
    I know they are paid very well but that can't replace the buzz of a Match.

    Rhoys also lost about a year of his career when he was at Palace.
    I won't ever call him sick note again, it's just not funny anymore.
  • Poor Rhoys, such a nice lad as well.

    Didn't realise he was back at Bournemouth as his 'proper' club.

    Bournemouth signed him again last January - a slightly strange move really - he barely played and went on loan to Birmingham this season
  • Gutted for Rhoys.

    Was one of the good 'uns.
  • wonder how Gomes is progressing?
  • Very sad. Good luck for the future Rhoys.

  • Very sad news. Looking back at his career, we probably had him at his peak in the first couple of Powell seasons before injuries starting taking their toll

    Agreed.
  • Good player, so unlucky with injuries. Wish him luck with whatever he does next.
  • Sad. Was a great player for us - very committed, good eye for a pass and fit as a fiddle. I remember him having a couple of absolute stinkers, and Zaha absolutely ruined him, but all of our players were prone to horror shows at that time - and he was a class above in league 1. Nice bloke too by all accounts

    Reminds me of one of my favourite Charlton Life moments. Back in that televised match against Palace Wiggins was getting twisted up by Zaha. He wasn't having a good game, but then he had to go off injured and plenty of people insisted he'd bottled it and had faked an injury to get off the pitch.

    Turned out he'd broken his foot.

  • Personally I always felt he was overrated but it is very sad to see someone having to retire so young. All the best for whatever he does in the future.

    The Final sicknote.

    Good luck Rhoys, he lost a year of your career at Palace and that Jinks was always waiting for him at CAFC plus when he moved on.

    When you see Daniels and Francis have decent careers in the Premier as attacking full backs (CB as well for SF) then IF injury free Rhoys Wiggins could've emulated the Bournemouth pair.
  • Fantastic memories from that season. Him and Jacko down the left were a joy to watch. Shame he's had to retire early.
  • Great player for us . That's sad
  • Really liked watching Rhoys. Him and Jacko forged a great understanding as they marauded down the left wing together. Thanks for the great memories Rhoys, and all the very best for the future.
  • All the best Rhoys. You were definitely one of the key players in Powell's era. I enjoyed your performances.
  • Was one of my favourite players for us in that Powell period. Good luck Rhoys

    Zaha genuinely ripped him a new one
    No wonder he's retired.....
