Who is your favorite Charlton club captain, that you have seen play and why?

Mine has to be Kinsella, what a guy.

Wembley 98 and lifting the Championship trophy happy days

Peter Shirtliff. The ultimate hero. Roy of The Rovers stuff. One of the most amazing comebacks in football history. And I don't say that just because I was playing 😉

ForeverAddickted

Mark Kinsella, for similar reasons...

He basically set the Gold Standards in Leadership for any Charlton skipper to follow in his foot steps

Johnnie Jackson, and maybe George Dobson are the only two that come remotely close since

Kips

One skipper webbo worth an honourable mention 

killerandflash

Jacko, as to me he was more vocal and involved off the pitch than Kinsella

Shirtliff, what a great captain. Love that match report

Kinsella is unrivalled, but the next best in my time was Webbo. 

stonemuse

Definitely Kins, a real captain who received lots of respect

eaststandmike

Kins for me

SantaClaus

Lyle Taylor. He didn't captain us often but when he did you could tell how much the club meant to him.

Fumbluff

Kin, Kin, Kin-sellah

paulsturgess

Kins and Jacko the only ones in the frame. Don’t be ridiculous mentioning dobson on the same forum let alone sentence as those two 

The Red Robin

It’s easily Kinsella 

lolwray

Kinsella followed by peacock 

O-Randy-Hunt

Kinsella all day long. End of thread.

Braziliance

Jayden Stockley, lead from the front 

Dazzler21

Kinsella and Matty Holland. Both professional, hardworking, eye for goal. 

So much better than what we have.

se9addick

Kinsella was great, but Johnnie Jackson seemed to have more personality off the pitch, so I’ll go for him.

Shirtliff and Kinsella for me.

To be honest, I should have never named a 'worst Charlton player' for that match. They were all club legends.

@jimmymelrose Hope you don't mind, but I've edited your post to put the picture the right way up. (I'm also finding it slightly weird how similar your handwriting was to mine at that age, and wondering if it's just an artifact of how writing was taught when we were kids.)

But it's upside down - have I missed a joke?

Kinsella. True captain and did it during those Premier days. Oh how I miss those days 

Big William

Kinsella.Honourable mentions to Shirtliff and Jacko.

Terry Bullivant because he gave me and my mate a lift from Sparrows Lane to The Valley in his Nissan Cherry when they switched the training session venue at the last minute. Meant I got to meet Allan Simonsen.

jimmymelrose

Terry Bullivant, lol

Does anyone know who was our captain for the 1947 FA Cup Final? I think it was Don Welsh. Surely he has to be right up there in the reckoning.

McBobbin

Kinsella for me, glad to see Matty Holland got a mention.

Don't think to many would be able to say that they saw our captain from 1947, we could do with him now for sure.

Steve "Rambo" Thompson

We should ask my Dad, and his answer should be the closure of this thread.
