  • Cheated and looked it up.

    Will be impressed if anyone gets him without doing the same.

    I wonder if the great man himself (ie Colin) would have been able to get it without looking it up?
    It would probably have been his first submission!

  • Here's another clue. A Stoke City defender of the 1970s shared this surname. He (the 1970s player) also also played for Wolves and Port Vale.
  • has Charlie? Gough been called? .. there was chat a while back as to whether Richard, his son ever played for us

    be ok if Gough ended in G (:-<)</p>
    Easily done - Matt Svensson was also suggested earlier

    I am keeping out of this as I used Wiki, and as I say, I have never heard of him in connection with CAFC

    I've only surmised from the last few clues on here so will let someone else say it.

    DUFFIELD
    GATTING

    Brings back memories of the old joke...played for Charlton? Diddy? No...Doddy!!!

    Good quiz Matt (rubbish joke...soz!!) :)
  • And what do you know? I think I missed one. In fact, I definitely missed one.

    My apologies to Harry Kirk who wore our shirt eight times in 1926/27
  • Bamber is turning in his grave : - )

    Matt, how many Bens have played for the club

    Fenton
    Roberts
    Hamer
    Alnwick (perhaps)

    Can't think of any more.

    Kirk was mentioned a couple of hours ago, alas no first name at the time.

    I think with Lincsaddick's Ben Thatcher shout, that is it Henry. Clearly (apart from Mr Fenton, a name of the 80s and 90s).

    Cheers Matt,

    I always knew I (or at least my parents) was ahead of my time.

    OK, next silly question. What is the most common forename?

    Robert/Michael?

    As we've just signed Ben Alnwick - Charlton players who share a name with towns/cities/countries might be a good one.
