Anyone remember him? Same Charlton youth team as Parker, Defoe and Fortune. Really good read in the Athletic about him today ...
From failed footballer to Gerrard’s No 2 via Chelsea, Sao Paulo and Liverpool

Left sided midfielder. Got a pro contract but was when we were in the PL so little chance of getting an opportunity._MrDick said:Anyone remember him? Same Charlton youth team as Parker, Defoe and Fortune. Really good read in the Athletic about him today ...

Yes, I remember him well. He wanted to play in the States when things weren't going well here and I put him in touch with Graham Tutt, who if I remember correctly trialled him. Not sure what happened after that and lost track, but he was a lovely lad and always gave 100%. Good to see he is doing well.

We are too low down the food chain (in the real world) for Beale now I would say.1

As an aside, while our current crop of U18s are good, that squad has some ridiculous talent
3 England internationals - Defoe, Parker, Konchesky - plus a PL regular in Fortune6 -
Turner ended up having a decent career aswell. Izzet wasn't bad although only a third division player except for a season in the second tier I believe.killerandflash said:As an aside, while our current crop of U18s are good, that squad has some ridiculous talent

You couldn't tweet out a team like that today, not with all the double-barreled names. And in a few years: Konchesky - Collins - Ford - Turner - Fortune - Parker - Watson - Beale - Hockley - Webster - Izzett - Macdonald - Allman - Defoe - Hales; that'd be one player!Callumcafc said:7 -
The Turner in the photo is a different one from Michael Turner, as he's a goalkeeper. Or did that one have a good career also?cafcfan1990 said:

I hadn't realised what a long career Kemal Izzet had at Colchester, playing 471 games. Charlie McDonald has had a very long and nomadic career, still playing at Barking this season2 -
That is correct. I believe the Turner in the photo is Sam who played a few games for Stockport but that is all as a pro.killerandflash said:

Charlie MacDonald had a decent career and was still playing this season for Barking, scoring 5 goals, until he was injured in a car crash and took over as Manager in January3

The first games I got taken to were in 1998 but one of the earliest Charlton memories I have is Charlie MacDonald's goal in the FA Cup in January 2000, not long after my seventh birthday! Glad that he ended up having a fairly decent career in the Football League.2

How weird, my first match at The Valley was the Charlton v Newcastle match in December 2001 where he scored his only Premier League goal, making it the first Charlton goal I ever saw there. MacDonald bros.

Anthony Allman. He was massively rated as I recall,went through Lilleshall.
Watson -assume not Gordon?
Ford-is that the lad that bobbed off to Spurs (the first "Defoe" if you like, but never made it?)0 -

Had a scary thought Ben Watson might be in the running for the gig, surely not

Interesting timing from Beale to post that. He could have just “liked” it but he went on to comment.Maybe I’m reading too much into it or maybe he is being a tease0

Now set to become the next manager of Wolves.

Very surprised by this but in a good way. Thought Wolves would stick to their European model but Beale is a very interesting appointment.SheedyCAFC said:Now set to become the next manager of Wolves.
Will watch this one closely because I think he's an incredibly interesting coach who has a massive future.3
