Consider, however, the level at which he was playing for most of his career with us.
I liked his all around game, and his enthusiasm, and, for a reserve striker/forward, he wasn't at all bad.
But, then again, I really liked Martin Pringle...
Yes but we were Premiership / Championship level & as a reserve he wasn't imo able to step up to that level. Put him in the 3rd Division & his record looks Ok.... ish but we have to judge him on the level that we were playing at.
What a perfect day ,early train up to Birmingham boozing hard , a packed away end 4,000 plus Addicks hoping to see us hang on to our Premiership status in the penultimate game . The match ebbed and flowed with it finally ending with a miracle last minute winner and loopy vogueing and celebrations in the away end and results elsewhere meant the dream of survival was still alive , I was in my Charlton nirvana ........ .......one week later and a lame performance meant we were relegated and with results elsewhere would have been down anyway , don't you just love Charlton !
Fantastic memories. I was at that Villa away game and we all thought we were going to stay up after such a fantastic fighting win but it was not to be. I'm looking forward to getting copies of all the days once they've all been shown. Brilliant productions.

Yes, we were there too and I remember seeing the 'Viagra' banner on one of the coaches we passed on the M1! Really believed we had done it at that point. Steve Brown, what a player! Always ended up with the muddiest shorts through putting himself infront of everything he could possibly stop.
That brought the memories back. I was lucky enough to be there. RD should be locked in a room with this playing on a continuous loop. He may just realise that we are so much more than his bloody play thing.
We went to my wife's cousin's 40th birthday party that evening, and who should turn up but Mark Bowen. It seems it was as emotional a roller-coaster for the players as much as the fans.
