Day 20 of your Charlton Christmas Calendar sees us looking at club captain Chris Solly.
Solly is Charlton through and through.
Coming up to his tenth year with the club it's no surprise that he's been a firm favourite amongst the Addicks faithful, and this season is no different.
Injuries across the back line this season has seen the 27-year-old play right back, centre-back and left-back, and he's stood up on each occasion.

When Jason Pearce, the matchday captain got injured in September it was Solly who donned the armband for the best part of the month and lead from the front in Lee Bowyer's most difficult run as Charlton manager.
More recently, with players returning from injury, Bowyer has been able to rest the 'no-frills' right back and manage his work-load throughout the heavy League One schedule as Bowyer wouldn't want a re-occurrence of Solly's injury woes of last season.

“He was out for the last five or six weeks at the end of last season and when he has gone Saturday-Tuesday or Tuesday-Saturday this season his knee has flared up," said Bowyer.
“I spoke to him and said ‘look, I’ve got to look after you because it is better for us and you’. He’s an experienced player and I want him in and around it all season, I don’t want to lose him for five or six weeks again.”
Bowyer's words goes to show in what regards he is held within the club.
This season he will be remembered for his 90th minute equaliser at Luton, and for those of you who were there you won't forget the emotion the true-Addick displayed in his celebration.
