A Charlton Athletic supporter recently shared some classic Addicks goal footage via a tweet which has caught the attention of some Charlton fans.
This tweet shares footage of a goal that the club’s current assistant manager Jackson scored during his time as an Addicks player. The former midfielder can be seen coming off the bench to score “with his first touch” in this footage that sees him getting onto the end of a corner kick, netting with a header.
Some Charlton fans have been reacting positively to this memorable goal, with some taking the opportunity to share praise for Jackson’s playing career in response to this footage, with one Addicks supporter describing the ex-Charlton man as “one of the most intelligent players” that the club have had “for probably 20 years”.

One of the most intelligent players we’ve had for probably 20 years, including some years in the Premier.

What do we think?
The current Addicks assistant manager retired from professional football as a Charlton player in July 2018, having accumulated a total of 277 appearances for the Addicks during his career, scoring a total of 55 goals for the club according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
After originally joining the club on a month-long loan deal in February 2010, Jackson moved to The Valley on a permanent basis in July 2010. He subsequently spent eight years at the club before retiring in July 2018.
Considering that Jackson spent eight years at the club, making more appearances for Charlton than he made for any other side during his career, it may be understandable why some Charlton fans might hold a positive view on Jackson’s time at The Valley as a player.
