Not606 Charlton Athletic Advent Calendar

For 23rd December, the last Charlton player of this year's calendar,
and the most iconic player in living memory... Who else but Derek Hales.



All time top scorer for Charlton Athletic, with 168 goals from 368 starts in all competitions,
almost a goal every two games.
During Charlton's 1980-81 promotion season back to the 2nd Division Hales scored 23 goals in total,
but his finest scoring season was 1975-76 under manager Andy Nelson,
When 'Killer' scored 31 goals (28 in the league and 3 in the League Cup).
The following season Hales bagged an incredible 18 goals in only 19 appearances before his move to Derby County.

Many great Charlton players didn't quite make it into this season's Advent Calendar,
but there's always Christmas 2025 to look forward to!

 

I think it could be fun if we had a player for every day next year but the number to be relevant to the player.

 

For 24th December...



Wishing a Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous and peaceful New Year to everybody

 

Is that a young Nathan Jones?

 

Merry Christmas, guys. I hope you have a day of peace and joy.

All the best for 2025.

COYA!

 

Merry Xmas to our motley crew

 

jingle bells and all that.

 

Christmas day in the sun and I'm stuck in a launderette.

 

Can’t you reach the door handle ?

 

This day in 1983 we beat Palace 1-0 at The Valley in front of 10,200. Derek Hales scored the winner in the 79th minute.

 

Sha la la

 

I was there.

 

Lucky you, Dicky. I attended my first match in 1984. I'm a wee bairn of 46.

 

Have been going since 1961. A real life sentence.
