Next Charlton debutant will make club history

3:44pm Wednesday 26th September 2012 in Sport By Matt Wright

THE next player to make his debut for the Addicks will be the 750th to represent the club after Dorian Dervite-Vaussoue made his Charlton bow as a late substitute against Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Salim Kerkar and Ricardo Fuller made their first league starts for the club and the latter scored his first Charlton goal in the 2-1 win at Portman Road.

Fuller started after French striker Yann Kermogant suffered an ankle injury in training last Thursday.

Chris Powell said after the Ipswich win he hoped Kermorgant would be available to face Blackburn this weekend.

However, that initial assessment proved to be optimistic as it was confirmed yesterday Kermorgant’s injury is far more serious than first thought and he could now be out for up to three months.

FANS can win a Charlton shirt signed by celebrity Addicks supporter Dave Berry in a prize draw run by club sponsor Andrews Air Conditioning.

The Capital FM breakfast show DJ signed the jersey when he officially opened the new Nike Valley Superstore earlier this month – visit bit.ly/NLXdq9 for more information.
