Strikers we were allegedly interested in

It might be Alf Wood?

This was when Charltons all conquering squad needed a top class CF to genuinely challenge for the Div 1 top spot

Big Jack refused to spend the c. £1m that Plymouth were asking for Paul Mariner and signed Alf Wood on a free from Hull instead. Mariner went on to win all sorts with Ipswich and played for England 35 times

Alf Wood did not

We went downhill from then on.....

Yes, Mariner could be the one, the so-called missing link, the one that got away and cost us the league coz Big Jack's only fault was the fact he was a tight bastard and treat the club's money like it was his own money.

Not a bad trait to have - that's the stories I've heard over the years and Paul Mariner fits the bill.

Rene Houseman. Argentina international

Yes, that was on then off, then to sign after a friendly fixture, then nothing after that game, what was all that about

It was definately a goer. That was til he found out Middlesbrough wasn't a suburb of London!

Once read the following

A very young scottish striker who was bagging in the goals in Scotland for Dundee was recommended to Jack Charlton & a price of £100k was mentioned
Big Jack declined saying he's too young, done nothing to warent such a high price tag, the following sesaon Andy Gray went to Aston Villa & the rest as they say, is history
