Worst Strikers to ever wear the Charlton shirt

Not sure Mooney was that bad (although undoubtedly did manage to miss the odd shocker) and would've been a good squad striker at L1 level, just think he came in at a bad time when the atmosphere was so poisonous. If he'd have played his clever bit part role alongside Kermorgant last season when BWP had his lull in form, I think opinions of him would be a bit higher.
IMO Hasselbaink and McLeod (and arguably Gray) are up there, not only because they were poor, but how much money we wasted on them. Both are alongside Faye and Traore in recent times for me.0 -
Andy Gray
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Carlton Cole
Ralph Milne
Gordon Watson0 -
I am very happy Carlton Cole makes most people's list.0
-
JFH undisputed No.1 & does Jerome Thomas count, his return for us was shocking0
-
I never hated Mooney as much as a lot of people on here. He had his moments that made you question the existence of a God but he worked hard and he got a few useful goals. Considering he was brought in for exactly that reason and we got into the Play Off semis where he scored a crucial (ok, not that crucial in the end) early goal in the second leg, I don't think he can be lumped in with the relegation tat.0

Jerome Thomas was a winger, flattered to deceive at times and his goal return was not great, but can't remember him ever playing as a striker.

Is Frank Nouble the (player) we had on loan from Wet Sham couple of years back ? By far the most embarrasing lump I've ever seen with a Charlton shirt on0
-
Should add, been going since mid 70's (except Selhurst days)0
-
Richard Wilson was pretty dire in the late seventies.0
-
Bradley Allen is a good shout. So are nouble, abbott and mccammon.0

You can't list strikers when we were in the prem because of the standard they were against. Players like mooney & nouble were up against fat lobs.0
-
Add Tresor Kandol to the list0
-
Chris Dickson, Izale Mcloed, Pawell Abbot0

Me
I seem to remember George Hope was pretty useless, but was at the start of my time watching Charlton.
Mooney and Abbott0 -
Mike Small - no contest0
-
I would say Andy Jones was not the worst striker we have ever had but he was so disappointing. If you look at a picture of him when he joined to when he left there was a 'massive' difference. Real shame. Bradley Allen was similarly disappointing.0
-
Mike Small
Pawal Abbott
Andy Gray
Frank Nouble
JFH0 -
McLeod, sensationally bad.0

Standard of defenders is no excuse for being lazy, uninterested and thinking you are better than Charlton (Carlton Cole).0 -

Agree, remember JFH not coming out of the half way circle in one game!You can't list strikers when we were in the prem because of the standard they were against. Players like mooney & nouble were up against fat lobs.

A selection of 5 in chronological order from close on 50 years of following Charlton:
Gordon Riddick
Barry Endean
Richard Wilson
Andy Gray
Chris Dickson
I should emphasise that these players have been selected on the basis of their performances for Charlton. Riddick, Endean and Gray performed tolerably well elsewhere.0 -
Pringle had great pace but wasn't he shite!
And plenty from recent years... Abbott, Sodje, McLeod, Dickson, Kandol, Mooney0 -
Have to say when Hasselbank turned out for us in the Millwall pre season game, he was the size of Wellings goalie yesterday0
-
I only want one name on the list: Francis Jeffers, 2.6 million pounds, 20 appearances, 3 goals. Released on a free. I do think the fee spent has to have an impact on who we think are the worst strikers. The only other contender would be Marcus Bent.0
-
The worst almost certainly played in the 20s when we more or less came bottom of Div 3 South. Back then you were fit if you could run back from the chip shop after lunch. Even Izale would have scored 20 a season back then. The standard of the oppo must surely be taken into account.
In recent times taking the oppo into account, either Akpo or Izale0 -
Martin Pringle, absolute horse manure!0
-
Scott Sinclair was very poor when on loan to us. Now one of the best English strikers about.0
-
He's a winger0
-
Sodje is also a good shout0
