Remember a few on here saying this fella is going all the way to the very top after they'd watched him a few times at the valley.
How right they were.
Wasn’t hard though was it? He was a cut above and without a doubt the best youngster I’d ever seen from our Academy.
No, but people said the same about Jenkinson.
Personally I never felt Jenkinson showed the same potential as Gomez. I remember thinking at the time that Arsenal had picked the wrong Rb (I.e.not Solly)

No he definitely didn’t and I still to this day don’t get what Arsenal saw in him. I’m just making the point that some people rave about all our kids and claim they’ll make it to the top, then gloat about having ‘known all along’ when one does make it.
Obviously not an academy player but Jorge Costa went on to captain Porto to a UEFA Cup and Champion's League win in back-to-back season after leaving us and led Portugal to Euro semi-final. No ex-Charlton player has topped that yet.
Class Jensen came on as sub and played for Denmark against England when we beat them 3-0 to go through to the quarter finals in the 2002 World Cup and Dennis (in the last minute) played for Denmark that game , we signed him after .
Danny Mills played in that World Cup and the quarter final loss against Brazil
he was very poor last night. I'm surprised that he was preferred at right back to Alexander Arnold.
Your first start for 4 months and your played RB against Barcelona ! Joe had been playing great at CB which is by far his best position. I was surprised Gomez was picked ahead of Trent-Arnold who is a better attacking full back. You can't out pass Barcelona, have more possession and more shots and lose 3-0. Liverpool had the 3 golden chances and missed the lot.
Joe's crossing isn't as good as Trent-Arnold so CB is his future alongside Van Dijk.
I remember watching Joe at a game with my bro and he said to me that Joe will captain England one day. I told him to shut up hes too lazy looking he thinks he is Rio. How wrong i was.

Got a bag riding on Gomez making a Champions League Final by 2025, from a fellow Addick who disagreed with me about his potential.

Thats got to trump anything that any non-Academy player has ever achieved for us?
Although Jorge Costa played in a Euros Semi-Final in 2000
However we both know that Charlton tends to be removed from the CVs of our 'good' players by the media unless scandal is involved.....

So happy for you.
Here's a few others to have done it off the top of my head...
