    Mike Franklin was first choice keeper that year till he let in a cross versus Plymouth. Got dropped and never played again I think.

    Bellotti had to be the shortest keeper I’ve seen. Wasn’t he about 5’9”?
    Les Green former Derby County keeper has that honour for me who was only 5’8” apparently 😉.
    I give you Steve Death of Reading. 5'7.  537 first team appearances including 156 consecutive games. In the 1978-79 season Death went 1,074 minutes without conceding a goal, an English league record that stood for over 30 years until broken by Edwin van der Sar in 2009.

    That's some record. A few ex Charlton players in that line up. Plus the wonderfully named Wayne Wanklyn

    I'm sorry, but Bob Curtis is not on that scarf.

    The crumpled face above the last picture is Peter Reeves ... definitely.

    One silk scarf tied to each wrist was de rigueur.
