Johnnie Jackson's 10 to tackle, featuring the 'Robin Hood of beers'

Charlton captain Johnnie Jackson answers 10 questions for the FL72 Podcast and reveals why he was thought of as 'the Robin Hood of beers' for a short while.

What do your team-mates call you?

Most of them call me 'Legend'. No not really, just the obvious ones like 'Jacko' and a lot of them call me 'Skip' because obviously I'm captain.

The best thing about playing for Charlton?

When we win at home, The Valley is absolutely buzzing. Those little moments, like when you score in front of the Covered End it's one of the best feelings I've had in my career so yeah, winning at home in front of the fans.

Cleverest team-mate?

There's not too many! There's some thickos, to be honest. Chris Solly is quite clever, he's quite mature for his years.

Who's not the brightest?

Tony Watt. He's unbelievably thick. He's not dull, he's very entertaining because you're normally laughing at him and how stupid he can be.

Best player you've ever played with?

Probably Robbie Keane at Spurs. I played with Teddy Sheringham at Colchester, I never played with him in the first team at Tottenham, I think in his prime Teddy would have been the best but I never played with him in his prime. His thought process was quicker than any other player.

Actually being in the team with them though, Robbie Keane was the catalyst for everything we did for that period that I was in the Spurs team so I have to say him.

Past or present - which player do you wish you could play with?

I grew up loving Tony Adams, Paul Merson, Ian Wright but I think from the Invincibles I have to say Thierry Henry. I think he's probably the greatest Premier League player ever and he played for my team as well so I'd have to say Henry.

Best moment in football so far?

It's a toss-up really. When I got promoted from League One with Charlton, captaining the side, the day we got the trophy and you get to lift the trophy in front of your fans and [the other is] scoring the winner against Queen's Park Rangers here a couple of seasons back.

We were in a bit of a rut at the time, a bit of a relegation scrap, the manager was under pressure and it was a day where we desperately needed a win. I scored a winning goal with maybe a minute to go, right at the death, and that's the best feeling I've ever had in football.

Worst moment in football so far?

Worst moment was playing Spurs in quite a famous game at White Hart Lane against Manchester City. It was an FA Cup game - Sky Sports Classics like to show it so you probably do you know it! - and we were 3-0 up at half-time, Joey Barton got sent off during half-time for arguing with the referee or something stupid so they came out with 10 men and beat us 4-3.

I came on at 3-1 and was at fault for probably the last three goals for them. So it was the worst night of my life by far!

Strangest rumour or story you've ever heard about yourself?

I bought a few Charlton fans a beer on the way home from Exeter and Twitter was going mad with people saying "Jacko's buying beers for the whole train" or "Jacko's going down the train handing out beers" like the Robin Hood of beers!

It just exploded and I let it fester and get bigger and bigger and in the end 5 Live or someone phoned me up asking if it was true and I was like 'yeah, yeah, yeah' and let it grow.

Where will Charlton finish in the league this season?

Top six, scrape into the play-offs. I think it's going to be very, very tough - we're not on the greatest run at the moment so it's going to be tough - but I've seen enough from the team.

It's going to be incredibly difficult and the chances are unlikely but we've seen it before where a team puts a good run together and scrapes in there. I think we've got to be one of those teams aiming for that.
