For me there is only one Davies (both spellings) and that's Gordon 'Ivor' Davies. Never forget pretending to be him in the school playground scoring and then giving a David Coleman "Davies, 1-0".

Also have to mention Paul Parker, best right back I've seen play for us and we've had some decent ones over the years.

Graham Leggatt, Bobby Robson and Boa.

My top 5:
1. Ivor
2. Roger Brown
3. Sean Davis.
4. Louis Saha.
5. Brian McBride.

With apologies to Rufus, Boa, Steeeeeeeed, Dembele, Finan, Clarke, Parker, Pesch, VDS, Dixie, and all the others that have given me enjoyment down the years.

How did I forget Fred Callaghan? Shall never forget his goal at Charlton. Also Darren Freeman and Danny Cullip, left behind by the money era.


...I was at the not so happy Valley to see Fred (Tank) Callaghan's goal at Charlton, I actually kept that programme, Fred's equalizer basically kept us up and consigned Charlton to the drop if I remember rightly. I was right at the top of the east terrace (if you never saw it - it was one of the highest terraces I have seen, bigger than Villa's old Holte end and Wolves). Big barney before the game at a local, smashed windows etc., and the coach got bricked after the game..!

I was just to the side of the goal for the equaliser. When Fred came up (and he rarely did) I thought that if anyone were going to score it would be him.

If you still have the programme, the editorial says something like "Charlton's season isn't exciting this year as we're not in danger of relegation and not pushing for promotion" We were below them before that game but they went down and we stayed up.

when I was younger (im early 20's) i use to love saha then it was steed and mcbride later on it was dempsey& dembele and strangely enough AJ the first game i took the missus to he scored and with her choosing we bagged a big bet payout. shame he went to QParse I always excited when he ran through the lines and the worldies he scored in the europa

Luis Boa Morte was my hero growing up. Adopted the good and the bad from him as a left winger. Yet to bite someone though!

Why has not mentioned the legend that was Bedford Jezzard, or the one club players like Arthur Stevens or Joe Bacuzzi. Also Eddie Lowe and Tony Macedo and of course our only World Cup winner George Cohen. The list goes on.

What this thread has demonstrated is that we have had some great players wear the black and white of our beloved team.  Conversely there have been a few mentioned who I wouldn't select for my local pub team, but that is because they have been nominated by our newer supporters, and I am an old fart.
That being the case, in my view nobody compares  with John Norman Haynes, followed by the other ten men he led for so long – Macedo, Cohen, Langley, Mullery, Bentley, Lowe, Stevens, Robson, Jezzard, and Chamberlain. Add to these Leggatt, Jim Taylor, Joe Bacuzzi and Gordon Davies and you have my squad of the century.
For sheer guts and determination and the bloke you would most wish to have at your side in the trenches - Fred Callaghan without any hesitation

I kind of like watching blood and guts players.

In that case, it's probably worth adding Bobby Keetch to that list !
