    In case you are wondering who is already in the Hall of Fame or why Bartram and Hales have been ignored.

    All great players 
    But the 2012 trio of
    Bartram 
    Hales
    Mendonca 
    Is going to take some beating

    Jack Horton

    V093

    1926-33

    Left winger for Charlton’s first ever league promotion side.

    Scored 56 goals in 272 appearances for Charlton.

    Sold to Chelsea for £1,100. Finished his playing career at Palace.


    Jimmy Oakes

    V164

    1932-9

    Made history by playing for two teams in the same fixture, Port Vale and Charlton. The original match was abandoned and he was transferred before the rearranged match.

    Left back for Charlton’s highest ever league finish. Played 234 matches for the Addicks in a 510 match career.

    It is interesting to note that Colin Cameron once commented, “his reliability and quality was such that he is an automatic choice for any Charlton hall of fame”. Time will tell.


    Monty Wilkinson

    V167

    1932-9

    As a junior player, Wilkinson learnt his trade playing with Hughie Gallagher and Newcastle and Dixie Dean at Everton. He signed for Charlton via Blackpool. 

    Scored 75 goals in 320 matches for Charlton during which time the club rose from 3rd Division to second place in the First Division (when First literally mean first, not third).

    Was the subject of an interesting booklet.


    ------------------------------------------------


    Benny Fenton

    V222

    1946-55

    Scored 22 goals in 275 matches for the Addicks as either Inside forward or wing half.

    Tipped by Jimmy Seed to replace him as manager, instead he spent 8 seasons as Millwall manager getting them promoted in his first season. Was later club secretary and assistant manager at Charlton.

    It’s not much of a claim to fame, but his son used to work in a chip shop with my son. Fenton Jnr was a miserable old git who always seemed to be upsetting my boy. For this reason it’s unlikely that I will be voting for Fenton Snr.


    Peter Reeves

    V322

    1965-74

    Locally born midfielder who made 294 appearances for Charlton scoring four goals. 

    He set a record by making his 250th appearance just after his 24th birthday. Sadly his career was curtailed by injury shortly after that. 


    Phil Warman

    V349

    1969-81

    Left winger and left back who made 364 appearances despite being injury prone.

    Scored 20 goals. 

    Popular with the crowd and was always committed to the cause.


    ------------------------------------------------------


    Steve Brown

    V523

    1990-2002

    Believed to be the only player with the name Byron to have played for Charlton.

    Defender who played 283 matches for The Addicks scoring 11 goals. He also covered as a goalkeeper four times without ever conceding. He also took, and scored, Charlton’s 2nd penalty in the 1998 play off final.

    As the old saying goes, Steve Brown will never let you down. Especially if you’re in need of a motormouth to talk incessantly about Charlton and the art of defending. 


    Yann Kermorgant

    V737

    2011-14

    Charismatic French forward who scored 28 goals in 89 appearances. 

    Played in the record breaking promotion season of 2011-12 and was genuinely good with his feet, in the air and at set pieces. Is he the last Charlton forward we can say that about?

    Left the club earlier than most would have liked due to mismanagement. Spoke out against the regime.


    Robert Lee

    V453

    1983-92

    Skilful midfielder/forward who was central to the 1986 promotion winning side and the subsequent Charlton teams that held the club’s place in top flight despite the terrible disadvantage of playing in exile. 

    Scored 65 goals in 343 appearances before being sold for £700k, helping to fund the return to The Valley.

    Went on to make 703 professional appearances at club level. Also earned 20 full England caps.

    Now Kermorgant was a fantastic player but just not sure 89 performances is enough to get on his first ballot

    so for me it is

    Oakes
    Warman
    Brown

    I can’t believe that folks think Phil Warman was better than Peter Reeves. If it wasn’t for a career ending injury, he would gone on to play at a higher level, IMO

    He finished runner up to Jason Euell last year.

    Kermorgant was so influential in his too short time that it’s just gotta be him. If Brown gets it he’ll still be half way through his thank you speech when voting starts for next year!

    The Robert Lee stats aren't right. It was 65 goals in 343 appearances (59 goals in 298 league appearances)

    Who picks the nominees from each era? (Sorry may have missed this) I liked/loved Yann but don’t understand how in 10 years of a hall of fame process he gets in the top 3 twice?

    Each year the winners go into the hall of fame and the runners up get another go the next year hence Yann is back.

    @killerjerrylee picks the name.
  • Nice to see we were selling our players to Chelsea even in the 20s!!

    Jimmy Oakes
    Peter Reeves
    Steve Brown

    Certainly not going to get into an argument with the late Colin Cameron over the first category
  • Who picks the nominees from each era? (Sorry may have missed this) I liked/loved Yann but don’t understand how in 10 years of a hall of fame process he gets in the top 3 twice? 
    The player who comes second in each category is re-listed the following year with two new names. In 2021 Yann came second to Jason Euell.
