With today's signing I make that, without checking, seven Campbells to have played for us plus new boy Allan.

Can you name the other seven?

    Really?! This has got me thinking. What about Hackett-Fairchild as a surname? I think both are unique in our history. So have we had more surnames than players played for us?

    Doubt it, they'll be more Smith, Jones, Taylors etc to balance out double barrelled surnames.

    Obviously not as we've had multiple Smiths, Jones, Campbells etc so fewer surnames than 995, the total number of men's first teamers since 1921
  • You could say that the Campbells are keeping up with the Jones's

    Being a Taylor myself . The first ever Charlton player was Matt Taylor which is amazing considering we were over a hundred years old when he signed . The other three are Blacket-Taylor ( if that counts ) , Lyle “The Snake “ Taylor and Terry Taylor .

    Sol Campbell 


    Just so he don't moan that he's being left out of the list for other nefarious reasons.

    For those who tell themselves they could murder a MacDonalds, you are following in the footsteps of Archibald Campbell 10th Earl of Argyll.

    Duhhhh silly of me. I've got festival brain. I suppose my point would be that "Hackett-Fairchild" is one surname, right, just how "Campbell-Ryce" is one surname (and thus doesn't count under Campbell).

    But it does count as it's only a bit of fun and his name is Campbell but with another name added
