Charlton autograph identification thread

Looking at this signed shirt on @Medders ' Signed PROMOTION WINNING SQUAD shirt up for grabs, for Cancer Research thread reminded me that we spent some time in lockdown trying to confirm the autographs of various former players, and adding them to @Stig's reference thread so we could refer back to them later. Given that most of the signatures on this shirt are fairly illegible, I thought it would be useful to try to confirm the relevant signatories, and use this summer break as an opportunity to try to get confirmation of more autographs of former players for future reference

Just to the right of Castore is Tennai Watson (27)
2 Above Edwards is AM for Alex Mitchell
Under the S of RSK is Greg Docherty (10)
To his left is C Coventry (6)
To the left of the is KA of Karoy Anderson (18)

Bottom middle is AMB (21)1
-
Above and to the right of Edwards is LJ for Lloyd Jones (5)
Next to that might be MilesL for Leaburn, and an 11? But that's a semi-educated guess at the moment1 -
Under Coventry is CA for Chuks Aneke (22)2

I have a signed football that I really need to go through. That reference thread will be invaluable. I really wish I hadn't lost my old autograph book that I took around the VIP lounge back in the early 90s. I had almost every player in there, plus Karl Howman who actually thanked me for recognising him!0

aliwibble said:@Fiiiiish if you want to photograph the signatures and add them to the thread, we can give it a go. What era is it from?Thank you. It must be from around 1995-2000. I really can't remember how I ended up with it. My dad had one as a raffle prize for the junior football club he managed, and I think he managed to get an additional one for me. I'll go and photograph them in a bit... On this thread?0

Oh yeah, trying to make all my help look less helpful now aren’t you….
Tsk, some so-called people2 -
- Pretty sure 4 is Keith Jones - compare with https://charltonlife.vanillacommunity.com/discussion/comment/3893568/#Comment_3893568.
- 5's not quite identical but close enough to the John Barnes one,
- 8 is Anthony Barness,
- 9 is very close to Mark Bowen
- 13 might be Paul Kitson, but we'd need something for comparison to be sure.
- 14 is Bradley Allen
Oh and we're going to need a picture of the "Matt Jones" one, cos I've got no clue who that is - could it be Mattias Svensson or Steve Jones?1 -

The museum started a book of examples during lock down along with a couple of other collectors showcasing examples of players from 1921 - 2021. So far we have catalogued around 50% of the players.
If there is a demand I will ressurect the project.2 -
It's a nice hobby, these days people want selfies, but I have always collected signatures and particularly enjoyed getting programmes and other memorabilia signed.cafc999 said:The museum started a book of examples during lock down along with a couple of other collectors showcasing examples of players from 1921 - 2021.
