    Interesting to see if Toby Bower makes it onto this list in future.

    Without a doubt Mark Reid - and to have John Humphrey on the other side - WOW ...
    First match at the Valley for me was 69 years ago so i saw a bit of Hewie and you cannot compare him to modern full backs, hardly crossed the halfway line - but will say this about him great emergency goalkeeper on a par with Stevie Brown ...

    Cannot believe Phil Warman got a mention but its all about opinions.

    Honorary mention to Chris Powell and Lurch.

    Powell.
    Reid.
    Minto.

    All very good, hard to separate.

    Brian Kinsey for me but I’m probably biased,having been coached by him ,and played along side him for a Sunday club Eltham hill with his younger brother Peter managed by middle brother bill kinsey.

    I mentiond in an earlier post that I had seen Kins brother play at the Rectory Field it was for Eltham Hill against Borough. Thanks Davo.

    Jamie Stuart not a name I thought I'd see in a list of best left backs...Are you Jamie Stuart?

    Hard to argue the case against Powelly but I really did enjoy watching Mark Bowen in 97/98 season.

    Konchesky? Was terrible at left back, like him as a left midfielder.

    my favorite will always be SCP but I really liked Rhoys Wiggins in the 11/12 season. 
    I wish we had some terrible players like him now.

    Controversial but I preferred HH to SCP as a left back.

    I can only presume that some of our supporters feel it terribly unjust that Kinsey, Warman, Konchesky, Wiggins, Barness, Thatcher, Jackson and Young didn't play for England as they were better than Chris Powell  :D

    Mind you I don't recall anyone calling for any of them to be capped at the time.
    Konchesky did get capped as a Charlton player.
    So did Young and two of the others are Welsh 🤣🤣🤣

    Chris Powell. Brian Kinsey was a superb full back as well. It would have been interesting to see how good he would have been in the top flight. I think he would have been fine.
    He was never sold as Gliksten always managed to move someone else on, i.e Bailey, Bonds, Glover and Campbell.
    Brian Kinsey never wanted to move on Having been born local and living on The Woolwich Rd. Also he was 3rd or 4th generation Charlton . His grandfather having helped dig the ground out. Also Brian was a very good outside left as well. For me he is Mr Charlton Athletic and can still be seen at the ground.
    I first saw Kins play outside left for us against Chelsea when he was still an amateur at Bromley. I've got an idea his brother used to play for Borough at the Rectory Field. 

    Pretty sure his brothers name was Peter.

    Scott Minto - didn't seem like he was with us for long but loved him
    If the conversation was who THOUGHT they were the best left back Paul Konchesky would walk it. I personally thought he was crap at left back but class in midfield

    almost half his career appearances were for Charlton (180) over 6 years
