Old Gold - players at the age when many others would have retired, but through a combination of desire and professionalism come in and do the business.

For our older readers, pure platinum .......may I present to you, prolific centre forward Barry Endean:
Ex-Everton youth team, scored the winning goal for Watford in their FA Cup quarter final against Liverpool.
In 2 seasons, scored 28 goals for Watford in 77 games.
The next year we paid good money for him, scoring just once during the whole bloody season for Charlton.
Prolific my arse.
And then 18 goals for Blackburn Rovers, the next season.

Going back further still Cliff Holton.
And even further.. John Hewie
John Hewie was indeed a great player for us but, as our third highest appearance maker, can it be said that he "came in" (as a veteran) and did the business?

This is true LG, he came as a frisky youngster and left as a friskier oldster.

Was there some particular reason for his massive dip in form with us Oggy, or was he just bad?
He was a steady enough player, with a bit of flair......and good enough to win international recognition. Then got crippled by a 2-year long serious injury that wrecked his League career.
Hi Stig ......re Barry Endean. Well, it was 40 years ago now, but my recollection is of a player who was carrying a bit too much weight, lacking mobility and sharpness.
Funny thing, he did the biz for his previous club. And also the one we sold him to.

Fair comment, Oggy. He did come from non-League and return to it though.

Cheers Oggy.
I was reading about this. Apparently when we got rid of Endean it was in a swap deal for Eamonn Rogers. Rogers' record as a forward for Charlton was played 43, scored 3. So it sounds as if we even didn't get much out of Endean when he went.
