Most goals by a Charlton player (All Competitions) from start of season to 31st December25 - Pearce - 193320 - Whitlow - 192820 - Allen - 193420 - Horsfield - 197218 - Leary - 195518 - Hales - 197617 - Firmani - 195417 - Flanagan - 197717 - May - 2023 (Up to 28/11)
With 7 possible games in December, Alfie could more than likely be up to 2nd in the above list with a small chance of getting passed Cyril Pearce as well.5 -
The fact that we have to go back five decades to find any player as successful as Alfie says it all. His tally for the last two seasons to the year end were just 6 and 10 respectively and he found the net exactly the same number of times post December for each of those seasons - 16 times. Happy days if he were to do the same again!shirty5 said:Most goals by a Charlton player (All Competitions) from start of season to 31st December25 - Pearce - 193320 - Whitlow - 192820 - Allen - 193420 - Horsfield - 197218 - Leary - 195518 - Hales - 197617 - Firmani - 195417 - Flanagan - 197717 - May - 2023 (Up to 28/11)

If only he was a natural penalty taker.

Mind you his movement and anticipation under pressure to nick his goal last night, proper poacher's goal.
Always in the right place at the right time.
That's because he plays with his brain.

Alfie May became the fastest player to reach 20 goals for Charlton in all competitions in 51 years on Saturday.
That milestone was last reached in 1972/73 by Arthur Horsfield, who, like May, did so in 30 appearances.

For those Addicks fans unfortunate not to have experienced the great Arthur Horsfield in person, you might be interested to know that he was not only one of the best centre forwards in the division at the time, he was also one of the best centre backs.6

I hope this doesn't mean Alfie's form falls off a cliff like many players who's partners have just given birth.0 -
If Alfie May scores against either Portsmouth or Derby he will be the first Charlton player to score at least 1 league goal in every month of the season up to February since Roy Matthews in 1963/64.
Matthews scored in every month until March, but failed to find the net in April. The only other player to score up to and including February is Dennis Edwards. He scored at least 1 league goal in every month for the entire season in 1960/61.2 -
He had a kid recently I think? I hope sleepless nights aren't hitting him too hard as we need that bright and clinical version of Alfie until the end of season.3
