    Old Gold - players at the age when many others would have retired, but through a combination of desire and professionalism come in and do the business.

    I give you

    Paulo Di Canio
    Christian Dailly
    And, going back a bit, Chris Whyte

    For our older readers, pure platinum .......may I present to you, prolific centre forward Barry Endean:

    Ex-Everton youth team, scored the winning goal for Watford in their FA Cup quarter final against Liverpool.
    In 2 seasons, scored 28 goals for Watford in 77 games.

    The next year we paid good money for him, scoring just once during the whole bloody season for Charlton.
    Prolific my arse.

    And then 18 goals for Blackburn Rovers, the next season.

    McLeod was one of the worst players I've ever seen at Charlton, and that is saying something given what we've seen over the past 4 seasons. 

    Having said that, its only fate that he signs for a League 1 club and scores against us...

    John Hewie was indeed a great player for us but, as our third highest appearance maker, can it be said that he "came in" (as a veteran) and did the business?

    This is true LG, he came as a frisky youngster and left as a friskier oldster.

    Harry Cripps?.. come on you old lions

    Was there some particular reason for his massive dip in form with us Oggy, or was he just bad?

    Of course, there's the Fools Gold range - came from non-League promising a lot, but returned to non-League:

    Les Burns
    Gary Churchouse
    Paul Gorman
    Cyril Davies

    Eamon Dunphy was a bronze if ever there was.

    Ralph Milne was a star platinum. Good in Scotland, awful for us and then does the biz for Manu!

    Bit unfair on Cyril Davies, Thai MA.

    He was a steady enough player, with a bit of flair......and good enough to win international recognition.
    Then got crippled by a 2-year long serious injury that wrecked his League career.

    Hi Stig ......re Barry Endean.
    Well, it was 40 years ago now, but my recollection is of a player who was carrying a bit too much weight, lacking mobility and sharpness.


    Funny thing, he did the biz for his previous club. And also the one we sold him to.

    Fair comment, Oggy. He did come from non-League and return to it though.

    Cheers Oggy.  

    I was reading about this.  Apparently when we got rid of Endean it was in a swap deal for Eamonn Rogers.  Rogers' record as a forward for Charlton was played 43, scored 3. So it sounds as if we even didn't get much out of Endean when he went.

    Cripps a great shout on this - wouldn't have been easy to win us round, yet he did thanks to some surprisingly handy performances, even nicked a goal or two.

    I'd put Mark Bowen & Mark Bright in this category - if only we could unearth a couple like that now.

    And for deepest Brown (players you knew were crap and wondered what the hell we were doing paying any money at all for them) I give you Djimi Traore

    Brown has to be Amdy Faye. Crap before he came, absolute pony for us, and left us in the smelly stuff. Poo when he left.
