Was the fairytale ending everyone wanted to see. In my 35+ years of attending Charlton, my favourite player, club legend just doesn’t do him justice. I’m proud to say @ChrisPowell1969 played for my club, proud and honoured – we salute you Sir Chris!

What do we think?
As per The Guardian, Powell made over 250 appearances for Charlton Athletic over three separate spells with the club, playing “a key role” for the Addicks in their Premier League years before he ultimately went on to rejoin the club after his playing career reached its conclusion when he became Charlton’s manager.
With that in mind, it may not be too surprising that these Charlton fans appear to think of Powell as a club legend.
