A Hit Or A Flop

[zicorice]

Charles was a hit in my opinion. Possibly even the first modern right back in the country at the time.

I think he was actually over rated based on his obvious potential and glimpses of brilliance. 
He never truly fulfilled his potential as we know. 
Remember his debut in League Cup v Cov. Played on right wing and kept getting in behind Downes (who didnt?).
Pace can hide a multitude of deficiencies and I always felt he never really improved defensively especially in the air, where he was weak. For all his pace I felt he rarely dominated his side of the pitch.

Heres the caveat: He was playing on the opposite flank to the first full back I have ever seen that could dictate a game. Any comparison is unfair. Also Laws was a perfect foil for Psycho. Strong defensively, but also a really good footballer, super reliable and consistent.All in all Charles was rarely an upgrade for me. 

Shows how spoilt for choice we were though I suppose. Overall a hit.
