Morning, I need to find the worst 5 CAFC strikers ever, ideally the most consistently bad should top the list, with the odd example of their lack of ability wuld be appreciated.

I liked Matty Svensson and I thought Varney was just unlucky being at Charlton at that time. I would have liked to have seen Varney working under Curbs. Think he could have got a lot more out of him.
I'm willing to believe Andy Gray had an injury which stopped us seeing the best of him, although it does raise the question of why we signed him when we did. Lawrie Abrahams, Mark McCammon, Mike Small and Frank Nouble were all poor, but I'm still wondering what Leon Clark was all about last year. Mooney was a classic case of a player who started OK but just seemed to wither away into total ineffectiveness as time went on.
I was talking to a fella who I thought had no interest in football, but who surprised me by saying he used to go to Charlton, he said watching Lawrie Abrahams finished him off. Some of these guys cast a long shadow......
Gray got a couple of goals at Barnsley, mostly pens, but my mate said he's one of the worst footballers he's ever seen at Oakwell. No touch, no intelligence, looks confused and lost unless the ball's on the spot or someone smashes the ball at his head faster than he has time to think. I think he's just a crap player all round. Or he's been injured his entire career

Sorry but why do you "need" to know this?
Its for a Football League charity article
Ok mate... For me jeffers abbott svennson bent gray
I don't agree with Svensson - he was useful to bring on an mix things up a bit - I loved him for that.
I'd vote for Varney the man who's goals were going to fire us back up to the Premiership - sad things is I believed that when I read it.
Agreed, I remember at the start of our first Championship season, sticking a tenner on Charlton to be promoted/Varney top scorer double! I honestly thought I had a chance...

i know someone who done £50 on that in the 2nd season! how wrong.
Barry Endean has to be up there. I can still vaguely remember him at the Covered End making a rare bit of space for himself and then failing to contact with the ball at all as he went to side foot the ball past the keeper.
On statistics, Leon McKenzie comes out quite badly too, but I can't say I ever saw him play. Is he a contender?
Hasselbaink- overweight and absolutely no threat to the opposition Marcus Bent- 2.5 million has to go down as one of Curbs biggest mistakes Mooney- shocking McLeod- 1.5 million, released by Barnet says it all Nouble- see Mooney
Martin Pringle (Way too pretty) Garth Crooks was well past his sell by date when he played at Selhurst Mr Leaburn (saw him get tackled by a corner flag at Brentford) Andy jONES Jason Lee

Garth Crooks the bloke who payed a big part in keeping us up in both 86/87 and 87/88 one of our worst strikers?
