In 60 years of watching Charlton, hundreds of them!
Unfortunately too many eminently forgettable ones have been in and around the squad in the past six or seven years or so.
This is the only post on this thread that makes any sense.
I would add Jonatan Johansson, in that he doesn't get much of a mention on this site, not like the other strikers from that period. But obviously, I do remember him.
Peter Laraman David Stocks Ralph Miller Jimmy Fryatt Jim Ryan Reg Evans (anyone on this site old enough to remember these?)
Yes I am, Reg Evans came to us from Newcastle in exchange for John (buck) Ryan proveing that management f-uck ups existed in the 1950's as well as the present day.
I remember Jim Fryatt, playing for Oldham I think.
Was he the player best known for scoring the fastest-ever league goal - four seconds?
I believe so.
I'm going off at a tangent; forgive me. A Hartlepool defender got red-carded after just three minutes at Fleetwood today - is that a record in the league?
Ray Hankin (ex-Leeds) once got sent off in an FA Cup qualifying round for Guisborough before the kick-off. The ref ordered him to wear the captain's armband - obligatory in Cup games, apparently, but not in non-league - and Hankin refused, saying it was "uncomfortable". Red card.

I remember Stocks, Miller (both left backs) and Jim Ryan.

Yes, Fryatt played for Oldham in 1970-71 (info courtesy of Colin Cameron). He scored three goals in five games for us, his first club, in 1959-60. After Southend, he was at Bradford Park Avenue where he scored a record-breaking four seconds after kick-off, against Tranmere in 1964. Fryatt went on to play for Southport, Torquay, Stockport, Blackburn, Oldham, and Southport again, before the first of two spells in the NASL.
Didn't Vinny jones get sent off after some ridiculously short period of time?
Sounds quite possible. With Wimbledon he certainly got sent off in a pre-season friendly - quite an achievement - for assaulting a postman in a non-league team on the Isle of Wight.
George Best played for us in testimonial match for? I seem to remember he was the best player on the pitch by mile despite being the oldest and unfitess.

I think it was Les berrys testimonial against Arsenal who sent an almost first team squad.

Not sure about red, but Vinny certainly got booked inside four seconds playing for Leeds.
