Blizzard did Basey. The Plymouth bloke (Timor?spelling) did Todorov. The incidents occurred within a few months of each other so easy to confuse with the passage of time.Covered_End_Lad said:
Was it not Blizzard for Bristol Rovers?cafc-west said:Think you could include Grant Basey. Never really recovered after he was taken out badly by a Plymouth player. Career went downhill and has just announced his retirement.

I may have got it confused with the injury that prevented Charlie appearing in the 1947 Cup Final.0 -
He may have been injured at Derby because he only played one season.mistrollingin said:

So many good players during the 1970's played for Charlton, and such a shame that the board didn't invest in the team to give us a chance of promotion, especially when Hales and Flanagan were scoring for fun.HantsAddick said:

Pender went on to play over 350 games after leaving us - Bristol City, Burnley, Wigan and Rochdale.DaveMehmet said:John Pender
Brilliant at the back alongside Humphrey, Reid and Thompson in the 85/86 season - the 4 of them cost £155k - teixeira's wages for around 3 months.

Wasn't it Blizzard who did Kelly Youga in the home fixture? Certainly was a criminal challenge from a Bristol Rovers player.
Youga was one of the best players early part of that season, with the appalling no-pace/energy legacy of Pardew, Youga was one of the few around that time who was dynamic with some pace. Never anywhere near the same player again.0 -

Kelly Youga went to kick a ball into outer space when it was already out for a throw and fucked himself up. Idiot.0

Cory Gibbs .. joined injured, left injured!0

Andy Hunt, not an injury per se, but definitely an illness.0

I assume this injury has ended Roger Johnson's Charlton career0

I thought that was a cover story and that he was attached by a burglar in his house?Scoham said:Mark Fish really struggled in his last few games for us. Didn't he get injured falling through a glass table?

Remember Harold at The Valley pub soon after it opened, as I became a regular for a while, calling in on the way to home gamesPeterGage said:Harold Hobbis. England international (winger) just before WWII. Broken leg, never played again. In the 60s and beyond, first landlord of The Valley pub upon it's opening

Todorov's career at Charlton was effectively ended by injury, but he did recover eventually to play a couple of seasons for Litex Lovech.0

I still blame the ref for that one. Plymouth decided to kick us off the park and he let them which ultimately resulted in them finishing the career of a decent player. I think the ref let them off that particular assault tooRoss said:Svetoslav Todorov

Those were the days, with Colin Powell flying down the wing and making pinpoint crosses, Keith Peacock supporting from midfield. Not forgetting King Arthur with his goals as well.mistrollingin said:
