    Well done, All Hell. "Springheels" Billy Kiernan was the answer.

    Charlie Wright wonderful keeper and amusing Matt Tees superb header of a ball, Rodney Green also from Grimsby games 1 goal for us and then left. They all arived at bout the same time. Green and tees in a double swoop. Sir Clive also from there. All Grimsby and all very good. Hugh Mc Cauley was not so bad.

    They probably dont count but Jani Tanska and Rurik Gislason could be considered as flops after they were both signed as highly rated "Development Players".

    Hopefully Ruben Bover doesnt go down the same road yet saying that Rurik is now playing in the Danish Premier League for OB, after previously playing in the Norwegian Premier for Viking.

    Appleton was signed from Leicester City with Ian King, a big centre half. We had lost the superb Frank Haydock, the most stylish cantre half I have seen an ex busby babe with real ability in both feet who dribbled the ball out of his own area and made me wince. He never lost it though. Brian Tocknell had left as well. TAppleton and King may have been ex 1st div but not a patch on these two.

    How about Peter Burridge and Gordon Riddick then two more who neve cut it at The Valley but good elsewhere.


    And by his own admission (Jimmy Seedd's) Alex Rae from Hearts for big s on about anyone not in a Charlton Shirtmoney in the forties. My dad said a skilful man who flopped at the Valley. Jimmy said he ruined Alex's career and apologised for his one mistake. Not a Charlton player. Curbs always tried to sign 'Charlton Men'.



    Chrisy understands this as well. JA sadly does not which is whyhe bang

    I checked and the guy was Alex McCrae. 1948 49 38 games and 8 goals so not a flop really. Just to clever for Charlton's Style then.

    Yeah Tewkes he took it well. He's only 24 so there's no reason why he cant climb back up the football pyramid. Carl Fletcher has made him skipper too I believe...
