I rarely can't sleep at night, but last night was an exception. So, I tried to recall as fast as I could Charlton players beginning with each letter of the alphabet. The only rule I applied was that I had to be sure of their forename. I found it remarkably easy, but it told something about my age and the era I am locked into. See how quickly you can do it. Can anyone do it in under two minutes? Where did you get stuck?
