Johnnie has racked up what is it six pens this season already?
Bob Curtis I think still has the record of 20 for Charlton but how many did Mark Reid score and what is the record of most pens (not counting shoot outs) in a season. Is it still Reid's 8 in the 85/86 promotion season?
Mendonca must be well up there too.

1 curtis 20
2 Reid 14
2 Mendonca 14
10? Jackson 6?
Who else? Bent/Hales/Bailey
Darren Bent - 6
Alan Pa**ew - 6
Maybe 2004/2005- can not remember us having a single league penalty.
The season before we had Di Canio take a couple, and Euell. In 2005/2006 after there was Danny Murphy then Darren Bent who were on pens.
Or only getting one and that was in the last game ?
Or am I just making this up?
That is the year we went a whole season without scoring a penalty.
The highest total I can see (last 20 years or so) was in 1995/96. We were awarded at least 10 and scored 9 of them. Robbo was the guilty party when trying to complete a 1st half hat-trick vs. West Brom (Mortimer scored one later on in that game)
I can remember Peacock taking the odd one. That may have been when Curtis wasn't playing though. Mike Bailey although (strange as it may seem!) I was young and might be making that up.
Since 1967 i have been going to Charlton and looking at the penalty takers since then a number of names people have forgoten.....list as follows.
Bob Curtis 20
Derek Hales 15 WHO COULD FORGET KILLER..we all did.
Mark Reid 15 1985-1986 8 pens scored.
Clive Mendonca 13
Darren Pitcher 7 became the 1st taker of a penalty on returning to The Valley Leeds fa cup.
Paul Went 6
Alan Pardew 6
Keith Peacock 5
Paul Mortimer 5
Richie Bowman 4
Mike Flanagan 3
Ronnie Moore 3
Tommy Canton 3
Graham Stuart 3
Now a question for you 3 players have scored 2 pens in a match all at The Valley name them.
I did mention Hales in post 5.
Reid scored 2, one retaken, v palace the day the move to selhurst was announced . Had a third saved.
We got two v Norwich. Was it Bailey?
Andy Reid scored the 2 pens vs. Norwich
I'd forgotten about that. Super Clive did it twice then..
A Reid v Norwich 2-0 league cup 2007
Mendonca v Tranmere 2-0 1998
Mark Reid v Palace 3-1 1985
As i am getting old totally forgot Burton and Reid 2pens in one game ,DON:T ASK.
Still have another player in mind goes back to the 80s Give it a go.
I think Dennis Edwards took some - I certainly remember him missing one. I also recall the crowd groaning as he was given the ball before he missed it. The fans didn't used to inject confidence into the players then either.
Mike Kenning took some too.
I seem to recall Keith Peacock scoring one once when he hit the ball so badly that you had time to count to ten before it bobbled into the corner
