Players that have shown the most passion for Charlton

in General Charlton
Whether good or bad ability wise, who do you think has ever 'worn the shirt' with the most pride and passion throughout charlton history?

Would probably come into a few things:

1. Whether they support the club firstly as a fan.
2. Their role in the team, e.g. Captain.
3. Relationship with fans.
4. Appreciation of our history and what we stand for.
5. Work rate on the pitch.

A few names in recent history.

Dean Kiely, Chris solly, Jonnie Jackson, John Robinson, Chris Powell, Richard Rufus

Any others to add?

    If Solly & Jackson are in there from last season surely Yann has got to be as well. The guy looks as if he prepared to lose body parts in an attempt to score for us, that is passion
  • Dave2lDave2l Member
    Chris Powell is the stand out man as a player and manager yes!
  • LawrieAbrahamsLawrieAbrahams Member
    Scott Parker (controversial!)

  • jakecafcjakecafc Member
    I thought Fish and Bartlett did. Luke Young maybe...
  • RadzinskyRadzinsky Member
    Maybe not an obvious choice but i'd say Thomas Myhre, always tried to get the covered end to make noise and used to go mental when we scored, was gutted when he left
  • Dave2lDave2l Member
    Darren bent to be added
  • Addickted4lifeAddickted4life Member
    I always thought JFH and M.Bent tried hard...... ; )

    Been mentioned already of course but Keefy Peacock springs immediately to mind, Brian Kinsey, Bob Bolder and going even further back let's not forget dear old Stuart Leary, Eddie Firmani and Derek Ufton.
    More recently you can add Eddie Youds, Harry Gregory and in his own funny way, Killer!

    Good call. See, when Dowie joined, I had no idea we had a goalkeeping crisis, what with us having excellent keepers in Myhre and Andersson. So he brings in Carson on loan, knowing all along that he'd go back to Liverpool at the end of the season, and puts him straight in the team, thereby immediately alienating Mhrye and Andersson. They both ultimately thought, 'Sod this,' and left the club. Then, before you know it, we're signing Nicky bloody Weaver...

    Mark Kinsella, Steve Brown, Richard Rufus, Dean Kiely, John Robinson, Yann Kermorgant, Chris Solly, Chris Powell, Rob Elliott. To name but a few.
  • Leaburns Daddy Member
    As soon as I saw the thread title the first player that sprang to mind was Johnny Robbo, always gave 110% and had a passion to wear the shirt (that we sadly lost with players over the past 3-4 years until last season).
  • eldavide Member
    Garry Nelson
  • Dave2lDave2l Member
    Scott Parker had everything but the loyalty.

    In saying that if you asked a west ham fan this question one of the 1st names they would say, I think, would be Scott parker.
  • DeeBee Member
    Grant Basey?
  • Tewkesbury_AddickTewkesbury_Addick Member
    hmmm Semedo?
  • BR7_addickBR7_addick Member
    Jose Semedo, love him or hate him, he gave 100% every game, although rarely matched it with quality.

    John Robinson, need I say more.

    Scott Wagstaff, like Semedo, not everyones cup of tea as a player but definitely gives his all.

    Scott Parker, had the lot.

    Robbie Elliott, Charlton through and through, although not the best keeper we've had in years.

    Luke Young, always one of the first players to have sweat on his forehead.
  • loe.ldn.wpack Member
    I'd second Wagstaff. He is one player who celebrates almost exactly like a fan every time we score.

    Robbie Elliot also Darren Bent was class and always looked like he was playing for cafc with passion.
  • killerandflash Member
    Stevie Gritt has to be high up, wasn't he there when they cleared The Valley from all the weeds that had grown there!

  • RugbyAddickRugbyAddick Member
    Rob Elliott and Dean Kiely.

    Wagstaff and Pritchard were the most passionate last season. I even think Ben Hamer was very passionate too. Nobody can question his effort and running to celebrate a match winning goal with his team mates say something.

    Chris Powell, Rufus, Brown, Fish, Kish, Bent, Matty Holland and even Jason Euell are up there.

    I think we haven't done too badly when it comes to players playing for the shirt.

    I know he was awful for us but even Pawel Abbott was always trying to give 110% for us.

    Playmaker, could of reached the top if IMO he could tackle!

  • SoundAsa£ Member
    Can't believe one or two of you including Parker......absolutely no way whatsoever.
    He's airbrushed us from his memory.
    How can you say he has a passion/ loyalty to the club.....he never did and never will.
    Like Paul Walsh, I've never heard either of them so much as mention our name since the moment they left us.
