Season summary
Another solid season resulted in a mid-table finish for Charlton. However, the end of the season proved to be the undoing of Alan Curbishley's men once more, and after the start of March, they only managed one more victory, dropping to 12th place in the final table. Considering the relatively small budget Curbishley was operating on; even this was quite an achievement. Midfielder Scott Parker was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year award, but lost to Jermaine Jenas of Newcastle United. This season saw the final competitive appearance of Richard Rufus coming against Liverpool on 21 April 2003.[1] Rufus had spent his entire career with the one club. While playing for Charlton he was capped six times by England U21. Over 11 years the centre back had made 288 appearances , scoring 12 goals.
