    Forgot about Paul Walsh local boy but just before my time so wasnt in my thinking. Costa i should of known tho. Well done scoham
    I remember Paul Walsh, a really promising youngster that went to Tottenham. His parents lived in Basildon Rd, Abbey Wood, just round the corner from where I lived as a kid - I remember knocking on the door and asking for his autograph - slightly out of order, but I was a kid and football crazy. 

    Never really prospered at Tottenham (apart from the European final appearance, cough). Probably should have stayed at Charlton a couple more seasons but Charlton were a selling club at the time and didn't keep hold of their decent players for long. Financially the club were not good at the time. 

    Great to see Joe Gomez in the final. Was a brilliant prospect at Charlton and clearly would be playing at the top of the game. He is relatively young as a central defender and still maturing.  I reckon he will be a centre back regular for England if he can stay injury free. 

    He was sold to Luton and then on to Liverpool before going to spuds

    Wasn't he in the Liverpool losing team at Heisel?

    Rarely acknowledges his Charlton beginnings!

    I've played golf with Walshie.  He talks Charlton more in real life than on TV.....

    Walsh totally lost his goalscoring at Spurs, but at Liverpool before the injuries he was pretty good.  By the 87-88 season, he'd turned into an eye catching but useless in front of goal.

    Gomez told talkSPORT: “It is unbelievable to get here. I started at Charlton, where I grew up. I’m thankful for that part of my journey – people like Jacko [Johnnie Jackson], everyone who moulds you.

    No.

    Before his time I believe.

    Wasn't he played mainly on the wing for Spurs?

    Walsh played in Heysel, he started the match

    Didn't see didn't see all the game but from what I saw much better than Stones, in fact the starting back 4 looked so much better than the other night.

    Far better than Stones and with Van Dijk alongside him at Liverpool, Gomez is really going to develop into some player. Congratulations, Joe!

    I have no doubts regarding his ability. I do wonder about his durability given his injury record to date.

    His injury record is the one worry I have in terms of him reaching his full potential. Everything else seems to be in place. That was evident when he played right back in the Championship for us.

    Last column is games missed... Given the iniuries he's had, it looks like 2-3 actual issues one that's taken 3-4 attempts to get right.

    I thought the most recent one was a broken leg?

    The above has classified his tibia injury as an ankle. 

    Also it was the opposite leg to the previous ankle injury. Further to this, he was misdiagnosed by the medical team else recovery would have been made 5 weeks sooner.
  • Quality player, and I wish Joe all the very best in his career still makes me mad we didn’t get a crazy price for him, when you see Van Dyke went for 20 times what we got for Joe.

    I know we were league one at the time and desperate for money, but Katrien really did us no favours when it came to getting us a good deal.

    Really hope he stays injury free this season. Been so stop start for him so far. God knows how good he could be with a full season of games

    True but there’s a lot of good value in their players like Van Dijk and Robertson and then Salah or Firmino will get points on the board

    If he stays injury free how long before all the commentators realise what us Charlton fans have all along... that he is so good he carries Van Dijk through games!  😀

    Remember a few on here saying this fella is going all the way to the very top after they'd watched him a few times at the valley.

    How right they were.
    Wasn’t hard though was it? He was a cut above and without a doubt the best youngster I’d ever seen from our Academy. 
    No, but people said the same about Jenkinson.
    Like chalk and cheese
    Jenkinson was good for a couple of years for Arsenal and had one superb season with West Ham; he has lost his way since. Gomez is a completely different level

    To me looks like Gomez needs some games and confidence back. He isn't looking quite as rolls royce with the turbo button on as the early period of last season. An injury free run of games but it does not look as straight forward as that with the form that Matip is in.
