Scotty Kingsley: No Kingsley, no club.
Brian Kinsey: 85 years an Addick. 14 Seasons in the first team, 9 of them making more than 30 appearances.
John Humphrey: Player of the season three years running (pity he went to Palace though).

Jack Horton
Appearances: 272
Goals: 58
Another winger, Horton hardly missed a match for six seasons and played 272 games for Charlton before being sold to Chelsea in 1933.
He was one of the stars of the 1928/29 side that won promotion to Division Two, scoring 16 goals during that campaign.
Scott Kingsley (from 2020 nominees profiles)
Arguably one of Charlton’s most significant figures. Despite only featuring for 20 games, it was Kingsley who put forward the idea of reforming the club after the First World War. There is also a belief that Kingsley was part of the group of people who opted for the location of what is now The Valley.
Scotty also selflessly accepted a move to Fulham in 1922 to help pay for the debt of the stadium cost. This most likely saved the club from closure.
Scotty passed away aged 75 in 1967.

Apps: 418
Goals: 26
Charlton's sixth all-time record appearance maker, the forward turned defender represented the club for 14 seasons. Initially a goalscoring outside left, he was the Charlton's second top scorer in 1961/62, but was converted into a left-back where he became highly accomplished.
SE7 born and bred, his grandfather helped to dig out what we now know as The Valley.

I think I’ll go Matty Holland, but strong arguments for the others.
