Jeez .. old age, I had forgotten about the other connotation of the word. I was thinking of the kind of player we might 'boo', but would not mind having in the team.0

A rare victory over Millwall?R0TW said:
Mentioned it somewhere else on here years ago.blackpool72 said:Derek Hales never took a backward step no matter how hard the defender was
He came out the Valley Club with his missis and was walking up Floyd Rd towards the station.
His missis had her bag snatched and the thief made off towards Charlton station.
Hales had a face like a child in a sweet shop when he came out the station with the bloke in a headlock0 -
George Curtis and Alan Dugdale (Thugdale). Jock Campbell if you go back further. He was probably the hardest Charlton player.2

Muscat was a filthy b*stard0

Vinnie Jones0

Paul Went, Never a backward step.
Dave Mackay, Derby.
Don't know if Mark Dennis (Southampton) played at the Valley, but he listed his greatest
football achievement as" being stabbed by my wife"1 -
A lot of older fans used to mention Jock Campbell, apparently he stood out even when most footballers ate gravel and shaved with blowlamps.5

The stories about the two sets of burglars trying to rob his house never fail to make me laugh.Addick Addict said:It will take quite a lot to beat Duncan Ferguson imho
Believe both times the thieves needed a few days in hospital after he 'restrained' them.
Must have absolutely shat themselves realising whose house it was and that they'd been heard.1 -

Agree. Can't remember who exactly, but was it Matt Tees he basically kicked off the pitch into the old West Stand?PragueAddick said:Based on Charlton players he badly injured in one match without even getting a card, would have to be George Curtis. (Coventry, managed by Jimmy Hill)0 -

As skinny as a rake but as brave as they come.
Also the best header of a football.2 -

Mick Harford would be a contender.1

For old timers only
Benny Fenton was a nasty piece of work and hard as nails . Beloved6 -
Ron Harris playing for Brentford (I think he eas their coach and had been registered to play in emergencies) at the Valley when he looked about 40. Eas down at the front of the Covered End and when he smiled half his teeth were missing. Martin Robinson could have skinned him but Harris psyched him out on reputation alone.0

Nothing to do with Charlton but......a while ago in Epping Forest whilst dog walking a woman also with a dog was threatened by a man who thought his dog had been wronged . He was shouting and making a fuss
Suddenly another dog walker appeared " Well take me on then " ..... Karl Walker. Admirable0 -
Harry Cripps nemesis from Millwall who played a few for us.Took our school for football training and tackled like itwas a top flight league match not a bunch of Year 10s2

Very much my era, saw him many times. Love this story from Ian Wallis’ “The Valiant 1000”Big William said:A lot of older fans used to mention Jock Campbell, apparently he stood out even when most footballers ate gravel and shaved with blowlamps.

Billy Whitehurst for me, absolute beast of a player. Tommy Smith and Stuart Pearce could look after themselves as well.

Jock Campbell would signal his intent - running out at the start (compared with now little fanfare) he would stick both fingers up his nose and blow . Became a favourite routine.

Just catching up on this thread and was looking for Mick Harford although I associate him more with Selhurst era but am sure he must have played at Valley as well.Starinnaddick said:Mick Harford would be a contender.0 -

Alex Rae was a nasty Farquhar0

I clearly remember him hitting the bar of the North goal at The Valley with a free kick, it was still wobbling a minute later. Would have been around 1993-4.MrOneLung said:

We were Div 2 then - Pearce was surely still Div 1 then (in old money)
Unless my memory is becoming very bad, I can’t recall Pearce at The Valley
Can’t be arsed to look at ‘Home and Away’ tonight - have had too much Rioja 😉
Will look tmrw - maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’m right 🤷0
