Karoy Anderson is hoping to help Charlton win promotion this seasonCredit: JUSTIN ALLEN
Throughout his journey through the academy he often played a year, two years, even three years above his age-group as his coaches constantly challenged him to step up in class.
Anderson may not have been star-struck while playing in the Copa America but certainly was when he used to be a ball-boy at The Valley.
He said: “I was a scholar at Charlton and we’d be ballboys at the games. As a kid, that was so exciting and I loved watching players like Joe Gomez. Even though we don’t play in the same position, seeing his journey has been really inspiring.”
One of the midfielder’s middle names is Zidane — due to his mum’s admiration for Zinedine — but his idol growing up was another French superstar, Paul Pogba.
He said: “I loved him when he was at Juventus, how exciting he was. I look up to those sort of players.”
Anderson is hoping to help the Addicks climb out of League One at the fifth attempt.
And in Nathan Jones they have a manager who has been there and done it – as he was instrumental in Luton’s climb from League Two to the brink of the Premier League.
The rookie midfield ace added: “Everyone trusts him and knows he knows what it takes to get out of his league and will do his best to bring this group to where the club can be. There is complete trust and we follow him.
“Our aim is to get promoted – it’s as simple as that.”
