Always puzzled that Luke Young never gets mentioned on these lists - played around 200 games, former club captain, 7 England caps, surely that's all the makings of a club legend.
FYI - John Thomas Thornton Shreeve was, however, referred to as Jack as there was already a John in the team when he signed from Boldon upon the recommendation of his best mate - Mr Sam Bartram.

Jensen and Kermorgant may not have played a ton of games for us, but their quality and skill will always mean I have them in high regard.

Chris Powell is number one by a long stretch.
Came close to saying him but more of a cult hero than a legend

In my time watching Charlton and not judging on ability but purely as how I viewed them as "my legends"

At the risk of being branded pedantic I can understand you putting Curbs top of the pile of a thread entitled "Charlton Legends" but this one is "Players who you consider to be Charlton legends."
As a "player" for us Curbs was alright but nothing special.
Legend is a 'big' word !...therefore should be reserved to a select few - a lot of the people mentioned are just also-rans in my view in comparison the the following...
Sam Bartram Jimmy Seed John Hewie Eddie Firmani Keith Peacock Killer Super Clive With maybe Curbs thrown in, these are the real 'legends' of CAFC- people who grabbed hold of it by the neck and changed the club.

transcend the generations.
Players like

Charlie Vaughan
Ufton
Summers
Kiernan
Hurst
Bailey
Hinton
Bonds
Glover
Tees

Flanagan
Powell ( Colin)
Gritt
Johns
Bolder
Humphrey

Shirtliff
Kinsella
Mendonca
Rufus
Robinson (John)
Powell (Chris)
Parker
Kiely
Jackson (Johnnie)
are legends to those who have seen them play and to those who have been told of their exploits.
Players like:
Smith (Norman)
"Squib" Hammond
Kinsey
Berry (Les)
Leaburn
Brown (Steve)
Kishishev
Young (Luke)
gave great service but somehow never quite got the credit or recognition they deserved.
I'm sure I've missed someone important !!
EDIT: I might mean Hirst rather than Hurst. Gordon of that ilk anyway. I've also missed out a Bent on the second list. Can you guess which one?!
