This is an interesting debate and the different line ups demonstrate the diversity of choice. My selection will probably change on a day by day basis.
Also how do we factor things like the level that someone played and also the fitness level? I would love to select the Liverpool/ Watford version on John Barnes or even Jesper Bloquvist as he would have performed for Man Utd or would that be cheating?
I am not sure Derek Hales would survive in today's game but might be a useful option off the bench.
So with 9 subs here goes:
Carson , Humphrey, Powell, Rufus, Costa, Simonsen , Diarra , Parker , Reid , Di Canio, D Bent.
1. Dean Kiely 2. John Humphrey 3. Chris Powell 4 Claus Jensen 5. Richard Rufus 6. Peter Reeves 7. Colin Powell 8. Scott Parker 9. Derek Hales 10. Darren Bent 11. Connor Gallagher
Seen a few on here putting Humphrey at right back. I’m 41 now and remember him coming back on a free from palace and he wasn’t all that (to my untrained 12 year old eye!). Was he really that good first time around? Better than Luke Young or dare I say…. Danny Mills?

Yes it is the first spell that secures his selection for me. Luke Young and Danny Mills would be my next two choices.

Absolutely superb first time around. Would have played for England had he been at a more fashionable club imo.
Peter Wakeham. Harry Cripps, Marvin Hinton, Richard Rufus, Chris Powell - Billy Bonds, Scot Parker, Peter Reid - Di Canio, Eddie Firmani. Johny Summers.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone nominate Peter Reid in a favourite Charlton team before
Or Peter Wakeham come to that…….and did you not see Stuart Leary play?

It is a personal thing: Peter Wakeham had a great autograph with an incredible letter 'P'. Stuart Leary would be in my 'Best Ever' team, but Johnny Summers was my football hero. I remember standing on the railing at the front of the East Stand and seeing about 5 players Charlton restraining him from murdering the Plymouth fullback. It was like looking at Superman. His son was in the year above me a Catford Boys School - had a friend called 'Stuart'.

Totally agree. He used to bomb up and down the wing and sling over some fantastic crosses on the run.

My all time favourite player. Absolute class.
Bang on. Was a brilliant footballer and a good character by all accounts. Was a bit past his best when he returned (as was Paul Williams around the same time) but still had a lot to offer.
