What is it with people resurrecting my old threads?
This one is 7 (SEVEN) years old ffs!
You seem to be getting a bit twitchy Offy you haven't got any skeletons in the cupboard like female acquaintances from 7 years ago have you? :0)
No, but I was a female 7 years ago, so don't want people stumbling across the thread I started about the best brand of sanitary towels to use for a particularly heavy flow. Would be a bit embarrassing now.
This is too difficult! You can add another decade from 2010 onwards really as well. We were so blessed under Curbs that you could really pick anyone. He it goes...
Mark Kinsella gave me a lift home after a shirt sponsor evening years ago. It was way before cl from the old old emailing list when a bunch of us did the sponsorship. I am sure however I was on sasas table. Great days.
60s Charlie Wright 70s Killer 80s Rob Lee 90s Garry Nelson or Stevie Brown 00s Can't separate Rufus and Jensen. So different but both so great 10s Solly so far but when this thread is resurrected in 7 years time who knows?
Those of us lucky enough to be 'senior' members have witnessed some great performances over the years. Going back to the early 1950s - when we kids came on the tram along Woolwich Road - I nominate Charlie Vaughan as my man of the half decade. With a smile on his face as he ghosted through opposing defences, he was deadly in front of goal. A splendid account of his prowess was penned by famous author David Lodge.
For the late 1950s there was the triumvirate of Stuart Leary, Johnny Summers and John Hewie. Leary was a centre forward with an eye for goals. He led by example on the football pitch, as he did on the cricket pitch by opening the batting for Kent. Johnny Summers is a candidate, along with Clive Mendonca's Wembley hat trick, for the finest performance in a Charlton shirt, when almost single handed he demolished Bill Shankly's Huddersfield in the 7-6 epic.
John Hewie was THE utility player. Totally dependable, happy to play anywhere on the pitch. One of Sir Alex Ferguson's all time favourite players, John Hewie, Scotland international, epitomised the Charlton spirit. And finally, my man of the 1960s is unsung hero Peter Reeves. What a great example he was to young aspiring players. For the years since, I leave others to nominate their favourites.
60s - Ray Treacy or Charlie Wright. 70s - Killer (all time favoutite) with honourable mention for Arthur Horsfield. 80s - John Humprey 90s - Richard Rufus 00s - Scott Parker (our decline started the day he left, but I have absolute faith that we are going the right way under SCP)
Here's my best and worst (should be self evident!)
60's Keith Peacock; Dietmar Bruck 70's Killer; Lawrie Abrahams 80's Humphrey; Jim Stannard 90's Kin Kin Kinsella; Tom Hovi 00's Kiely; El Khalej 10's Solly; Alonso
