in General Charlton
It is time to cast your vote for the three players to be elected into the Hall Of Fame. As usual, there are three categories, each containing three names. You may vote in all three sections, even if, like most of us, you are too young to have seen play, the names in the pre-1950 section. Voting is simple. Just click on the link -

Pre-1950       Ralph Allen, Jack Horton, Scotty Kingsley
1951-85        Cyril Hammond, Billy Kiernan, Brian Kinsey
1986 to date  Matt Holland, John Humphrey, Scott Minto

Voting will end at 10pm on 24th March.

    I think Henry is spot on.

    Scotty Kingsley: No Kingsley, no club.
    Brian Kinsey: 85 years an Addick. 14 Seasons in the first team, 9 of them making more than 30 appearances.
    John Humphrey: Player of the season three years running (pity he went to Palace though).

    Gosh, this thread is quiet. Is that an indicator of what it's been like to be a Charlton fan lately?

    The head goes for Humphrey and Holland, but the heart (and not in that sense!) goes to Scott Minto as part of a very important Charlton team for me in the early 90s.

    Ralph Allen


    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Allen_(footballer)



    Jack Horton (from 20203 nominee profiles)


    Jack Horton

    Appearances: 272

    Goals: 58

    Another winger, Horton hardly missed a match for six seasons and played 272 games for Charlton before being sold to Chelsea in 1933. 

    He was one of the stars of the 1928/29 side that won promotion to Division Two, scoring 16 goals during that campaign.


    Scott Kingsley (from 2020 nominees profiles)


    Arguably one of Charlton’s most significant figures. Despite only featuring for 20 games, it was Kingsley who put forward the idea of reforming the club after the First World War. There is also a belief that Kingsley was part of the group of people who opted for the location of what is now The Valley.

    Scotty also selflessly accepted a move to Fulham in 1922 to help pay for the debt of the stadium cost. This most likely saved the club from closure.

    Scotty passed away aged 75 in 1967.


    Cyril Hammond

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyril_Hammond


    Billy Kiernan 

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Kiernan



    Brian Kinsey (1956/57 - 1970/71) (from 2020 nominees profiles)

    Apps: 418

    Goals: 26

    Charlton's sixth all-time record appearance maker, the forward turned defender represented the club for 14 seasons. Initially a goalscoring outside left, he was the Charlton's second top scorer in 1961/62, but was converted into a left-back where he became highly accomplished.

    SE7 born and bred, his grandfather helped to dig out what we now know as The Valley.

    I didn’t see the earlier players play, but the 1985+ nominees are a real tough one.

    I think I’ll go Matty Holland, but strong arguments for the others.
