2000-01 was a memorable season for Chris.
One of Charlton Athletic's most consistent performers, he was actually dropped following the Boxing Day defeat at West Ham United but was quickly recalled at the start of January.
This set off a remarkable chain of events that saw him become only the third Addicks' player since 1946 to play for the full England side when he won caps against Spain, Finland and Mexico.
A skilful and unflappable left-sided defender, Chris can play as an orthodox left back or as a left wing back and loves to push forward down the flank and cross the ball from the by-line.
A very popular figure at The Valley, he rarely has a bad game and scored his long-awaited first goal for the club in the FA Cup tie against Tottenham Hotspur.
Chris' contract at Charlton Athletic was extended to June 2005 in July 2004 but, after a loan spell, he joined West Ham United in December 2004 with a contract to the end of the season.
He then returned to The Valley with a one-year contract.
Chris joined Watford in July 2006 in a one-year deal.
He joined Leicester City in August 2008 with a six-month contract that was extended to June 2009 in January 2009.
