The Charlton Mad 11

Who would be in the 1st team squad of Charlton players who have a reputation....of being a bit mad?

In this instance, being mad is neither a compliment or a criticism. 
The passion of football can be the cause of showing mad symptoms.

When I say mad i don't mean someone currently serving a jail sentence or someone who was incredibly dirty and unprofessional on the field of play.

To provide an example, Paulo Di Canio is mad and therefore gets a spot in my 1st 11. He is the definition of a wild character. 

Chris Powell and Johnnie Jackson are fairly normal/level headed and have no chance of getting in the squad. 

My 11. 442

Sasa Illic 

?? FIsh ?? ??

Robinson Kishishev Bowyer ??

Di Canio  Hales 


The back line of any opposition would likely be a tad scared. I can only think of Fish in defence. Maybe the Herminator can go left back but I'm not so sure. 

I don't know of Kish fully qualifies but I can't think of anyone else.

Any ideas?

Got a better 11?

  • Don't know about 'mad', but Miller and Thommo would get in as defenders on the back of being 'hard'

    Edit: John Barnes as well
  • Talal El kakori CB (spelt wrong) Herminator LB.

    John Barns LCM

    Danny Mills and Ben Thatcher are on the spectrum but don't qualify. 

    Agree, Nathan Jones manager.

    Before him, the contenders... guy luzon, pardew, Bob peeters.

    Basically a load of shite

    Andy Todd for those that remember, hit a coach with a stool* before joining us and gave Dean Kiely a shiner in training.

    * Round seat with three legs, not the other sort
  • Andre Bikey. Google his sending off at Burnley playing for Reading if you aren’t sure why.

  • Always thought Sam Sodje was a bit nuts
  • Aizlewood - 2 Finger salute to the home crowd (Which he repeated when at Leeds) and preventing a West Ham attack away at Upton Park by catching the ball. Just a booking 
  • Hreidarsson, didn’t he punch team mates on the arm for no reason when he walking past in a corridor?
  • Todd

    Roger Johnson

    Andy Hughes

    Brendan O Connell

    Simon Webster

    Bob Bolder


  • What a great read...🙄
  • Willie Duff goalie extraordinaire as he punched and laid out the Everton striker before throwing his green jersey in the goal and walking off
  • More associated with Millwall but one who also played for us actually earned the nickname "mad Eamon Dunphy". 
  • Graham Moore.
  • Andre Bikey. Google his sending off at Burnley playing for Reading if you aren’t sure why.
    Strange one, I feel like he would’ve been absolutely quality if he had more discipline and a couple of brain cells to rub together, when he was good he was very good.

  • For further clarity:

    If curbs loaned in a 40 year old hungover Paul Gascoinge -gaza would be vice captain. 

    If curbs signed Jimmy bullard, bullard wouldn't even be in the squad. His persona does not meet the definition. 

    Maybe an ex Charlton player who would sing their country's national anthem to the point of shouting it from the lungs so a whole stadium could hear it. That kind of nutter.


  • Karel Fraeye has to be the manager. He was mad enough to think he could manage a professional team.
  • Here's the best I can do...

    GK:
    Sasa Ilic (came from non-league, defied Curbs' orders to go up for a corner at Blackburn and concedes from it)
    CB: Mark Fish (MTV cribs and falling through a coffee table)
    CB: Andy Todd (Punch-up with Deano and a well-renowned lunatic)
    RB: Danny Mills (Got himself sent off for a Xmas break)
    LB: Hermann Hreiðarsson (Pure aggression, came across as a generally quite mad)
    CM: Peter Garland (Struggling for CMs, but any central midfielder who can retain the nickname "Big Fat Pete" as a professional athlete...)
    CM:
     Emmanuel Frimpong (Footballing liability and the "Dench" stuff)
    RM: Paulo Di-Canio (Appropriate that he's on the 'right wing', some mad touchline antics for us)
    LM: Johnny Robinson (Mental, always moaning, loved him)
    CF: Derek Hales (Fighting teammates, in the pub before fans could get there, "Killer" for a reason) 
    CF: Tony Watt (Loveable Rogue, untameable)

    Manager: Guy Luzon (Basket case, *that* celebration)

    Andy Hughes deffo. Didnt he jump out of some bushes SBN at training?

    Di Canio yes
    Todd yes
    Hales yes 
    Bowyer yes
    Mills possibly
    Paul Miller perhaps

    Nathan Jones nailed on.

    I'm about four short.

    Costa and his dark arts?

    Inescapable that Innis isn't in there (anagram)

    Lawrie and David Madden? Although they were quality players.

  • Deano looked mental with his black eye and missing teeth.
  • Scoham said:
    Hreidarsson, didn’t he punch team mates on the arm for no reason when he walking past in a corridor?

    Yep, can't remember who, but it was at a Player meeting and they said to never walk past him as he was always doing it. Not sure who it was at Palace but he took someone out to catch Puffins (Its an Icelandic thing) they ended up getting bitten by a puffin and their finger went septic. So Hermann was proper full on mad.
  • Talal El Karkouri also seemed a bit unhinged. I'm sure I remember him needlessly blasting the ball point blank into the away fans in one match, or something similar. Even his free kicks, though brilliant, were a bit mad.

    Non Charlton all-time ROTW 11 . Throwing some names out there.

    Maradona, Mario Balotelli , Paul Merson, Pickford, Suarez, Gascoigne, Roy Keane, Razer Ruddock, Eric Cantona!

    Imagine all of them lot out on the piss together at the same time celebrating someones stag....

    Roy Keane and pickford wouldn't stick around.

    I think gaza, mers, and Maradona would probably wake up on a roof within area 51

    In an opposing but parallel anti matter Positron universe 

    A Michael Owen would be top of this list
  • Moutakil.

    It seemed so at the time, but I think with hindsight some of his actions look like they might be explained by certain match fixing allegations. Mad or bad? I don't know.
