    Maybe I should put a survey together instead and you guys can vote for your eleven by position. Might wait until the end of the season though in case there are anymore heroes.

    Di Canio vs Aston Villa - never seen one man make a group of so-called top-flight defenders look so much like schoolboys. "Don't panic Mr Mainwaring, Don't panic!"

    If Rufus is going in surely it has to be for his header on the play off final (crazy to think that will be 20 years ago this year).
  • Peter Garland - superb long range goal at the Valley - can't remember who against - but it was a stunning strike
  • Andy Petterson (or was it Mike Amman?) for an unbelievable save against palace.
    Neil Heaney for a great strike on Mauricio Tarrico.

    Thuram- for putting off the QPR player magnificently

    Nego - great little side shuffle in the Wigan game
    Fanni - giving us all a laugh when his name was announced
    Johnson - showing commitment by coming back to the club 3 times
    Tex - for hitting Steve Morison

    Reza - his wonder goal against Leeds
    LePoint - made a mazy run
    Ceballos - amazing corner v Derby
    Crofts- the master of the sideways pass. He knew what it was like to be patient.

    Tucudean - nearly scored v Millwall
    Watt - held the ball in the corner for 2 minutes

    If we are going to pick el karkouri, I nominate his free kick against Blackburn. Probably the hardest I've ever celebrated.
  • Dean Kiely - Being a gent and a legend when we met him at Anfield with my then 8 year old son
    Andy Hunt - Perfect hatrick away at Stockport County
    Clive Mendonca - Play off Final
    Gary Nelson - Palace away play off semi final last game in a Charlton shirt and a gent in the players lounge when I met him after the game
    Colin Walsh - First goal back at the Valley
    Jon Fortune - The goal that sent Palace down
    Dennis Rommadhal - Winner at Palace
    Peter Shirtliff - The part he played at St Andrews that night
    Johnnie Jackson - For all those JJ moments
    Kevin Lisbie - The hatrick against Liverpool
    Alan Simonsen - For signing for Charlton

    And number 12 SCP for so many moments as a player and a manager and as an all round top bloke

    this is in no particular order just as I plucked them from my memories

    I'm going to have to go for a different slant here. Half these players would come into contention for my all-time Charlton XI, and I think that means you can't really remember them by one moment. I'll give a team a go, restricting it to moments I was alive for:

    GK - Nick Pope, for this double save:



    RB - Yassin Moutaouakil. Can't remember who the opponents were, but in about his third or fourth game he made an absolute monster of a tackle when the bloke had beaten him two yards for pace and came away with the ball to launch a counter attack. Was a great challenge.

    CB - Jorge Costa, for when he thighed the ball back to the keeper. I'd never seen that before and dad had to explain why it didn't constitute circumvention of the back pass rule.

    CB - Jon Fortune. Obviously.

    LB - Tareiq Holmes-Dennis, for that dirt move on Barry Bannan:



    RM - Dennis Rommedahl. "Dennis, in the last minute..."

    CM - Amdy Faye, for the following. No-one said the moment had to be good...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcZJ6U9RC4o

    CM - Matt Spring, for the solitary goal in a 1-0 vs Palace which broke I think a winless run of about a million games.

    LM - Dany N'Guessan, for that cross-cum-shot that rocketed in when no-one expected it.

    CF - Reza Ghoochannejhad, for the goal vs Leeds:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaO7CIydgmM

    CF - Svetoslav Todorov, for a solitary goal in a 1-0 vs Palace.

    Illic for the lead up to the play off final and the final itself, closely followed In the keeper stakes by Steve Brown at Villa.

    Pitcher (!) for actually managing to pass the ball 6 yards for Walsh to score on the 5th December, Walsh had to point to him where to put it mind.

    Webster for the many times he put his head where he shouldn't have but also that Volley at upton park which is still the most I've ever won on a football match.

    Costsa, just for being Costa

    Powell, for scoring at the end of a great career with us

    DiCanio for the penalty chip

    Mortimer, can't remember the game but he ran almost the length of the pitch and riffled it in

    Jensen for the chip against Arsenal

    Parker for the 4-2 game at Chelsea

    Bartlett for his goal of the season

    Mendonca for, well, as if I need to say


    and of course last but not least on the subs bench, myself, for had I not took the money and gone to Newcastle we'd probably still not be back at the valley :smiley:

    Please note Robinson - I'm playing 442!
