Without his input, none of the youngsters on here would have had any heroes.
There would have been no Charlton, you'd be supporting Palarse or the Spanners.
Or Chelski, Arse, Manure plastics who'd never seen them play, but wore the replica shirt.
Step forward, Lennie Lawrence ....... the club owes you one hell of a debt.
You were the glue that held it all together when it the club was in it's death throes.
Lennie Lawrence, Alan Curbishley, Bob Bolder, John Humphries, Mark Kinsella, Keith Peacock, Steve Gritt, Colin Walsh, Clive Medonca , Rufus, Chris Powell, John Robinson, Steve Brown.
I just cannot believe you lot...no one but no one has mentioned our greatest ever player...the one and only (years ahead of his time in both style and imaginative play)....................................STUART LEARY!
Obviously all mentioned especially my boyhood hero and namesake from my second childhood Eddie Firmani was a real footballer, very special however may I suggest an honourable mention for: Simon Webster ...and why did the absolutely brilliant brilliant brilliant Richard Rufus not get a testimonial (not for the money, but so we could honour him)?

from my second childhood Eddie Firmani was a real footballer, very special
however may I suggest an honourable mention for:

Legend is not necessarily the best player Ive seen.
