    Peter Shirtliff. The ultimate hero. Roy of The Rovers stuff. One of the most amazing comebacks in football history. And I don't say that just because I was playing 😉

    Mark Kinsella, for similar reasons...

    He basically set the Gold Standards in Leadership for any Charlton skipper to follow in his foot steps

    Johnnie Jackson, and maybe George Dobson are the only two that come remotely close since

    Jacko, as to me he was more vocal and involved off the pitch than Kinsella

    Kinsella is unrivalled, but the next best in my time was Webbo.

    Kins and Jacko the only ones in the frame. Don’t be ridiculous mentioning dobson on the same forum let alone sentence as those two

    Kinsella and Matty Holland. Both professional, hardworking, eye for goal. 

    So much better than what we have.

    Kinsella was great, but Johnnie Jackson seemed to have more personality off the pitch, so I’ll go for him.

    To be honest, I should have never named a 'worst Charlton player' for that match. They were all club legends.

    @jimmymelrose Hope you don't mind, but I've edited your post to put the picture the right way up. (I'm also finding it slightly weird how similar your handwriting was to mine at that age, and wondering if it's just an artifact of how writing was taught when we were kids.)

    But it's upside down - have I missed a joke?

    Terry Bullivant because he gave me and my mate a lift from Sparrows Lane to The Valley in his Nissan Cherry when they switched the training session venue at the last minute. Meant I got to meet Allan Simonsen.

    Terry Bullivant, lol

    Does anyone know who was our captain for the 1947 FA Cup Final? I think it was Don Welsh. Surely he has to be right up there in the reckoning.

    Don't think to many would be able to say that they saw our captain from 1947, we could do with him now for sure.

    We should ask my Dad, and his answer should be the closure of this thread.
