As Johnnie Jackson lined up his free kick I started to think about which Addick, past or present, I'd ideally want taking it. Obviously Jackson was the perfect player - but anyway, which Addick would you have picked, and which CAFC free kick is you favourite of all time?
For me, it's David Whyte's against Brentford (I think!) & Colin Walsh.

Then there was the 2-1 goal at St. Andrews against Leeds in the play-off. OK it took 4 touches in all to get the ball in the net but what a moment!
Also I like Danny Green's corners. I reckon he will score from one this season!
The world really did seem at our fingertips that night as Scott Parker and Claus Jensen ruled the midfield, their talents complimenting each others exquisitely.
In my time,we've never really had an out and out set-piece specialist. Claus Jensen was probably the most reliable I can remember, but even he didn't score that many. Maybe not free kicks specifically, but in my time watching Charlton I would say Kins is the player I'd have most wanted to see lining up a long range effort. He seemed to score at least 2 or 3 belters a season.
And although it never went in I'll always remember a freekick we took in the prem... 2 players standing either side of the ball, one laid it to the other who then chipped it up, the 2 peeled off and DiCanio ran through the middle and smacked it on the volley, narrowly went over... Pure class, only Paulo would have the audacity to even try it
I enjoyed the two we got in the 4-4 against Norwich. Think one was on one side of the goal, Kinsella did a little dummy and Mark Robson curled it round the wall with his left, then the other was the reverse.
Left foot sent from the Gods themselves.
