Charlton head coach Les Reed insists Andy Reid has what it takes to become a Valley legend.
Midfielder Reid, whose career stuttered at Tottenham last season, struck a 68th-minute equaliser to earn a first Premiership survival point for his new boss and end a personal 18-month goal famine.
Reed felt the Irishman would eventually be bracketed with the Addicks greats of the past, but it was perhaps pushing it a bit far to also compare him with the late, lamented Hungary legend Ferenc Puskas.
Reed, who is expected to spend his Sunday as linesman and physio for his 14-year-old son Andy's team in Bishop's Stortford, said: 'Ferenc Puskas passed away last week and maybe he was the original Andy Reid.
'He is a big influence here, a player who can excite the fans and somebody for whom I have a lot of admiration. He is very ambitious and very much a winner and I think he does want to prove to people how good a player he is.
'He has the quality to become a legend at Charlton, and we have had a few. I think he really enjoys his football here. We are going to see a lot more of him.'
Reid's weight has often been called into question in the past, but Reed added: 'Andy's body shape makes him look worse than he is but he is fully fit now. You have only got to look at the amount of running he did towards the end against Everton.'
Reid, 24, joined Charlton for £3million in the summer, signing for the now-departed Iain Dowie after making only eight starts for Tottenham last season.
He had a slow start after pulling a hamstring, having been dogged by a knee ligament injury which kept him out from early February at White Hart Lane.
'He was unlucky, nothing more than that,' Reed added. 'But perhaps we rushed him back a bit early from the hamstring injury because when you are struggling you are tempted to do that with good players.
'We did have a lot of injuries and bad luck earlier in the season but this is the side that beat Bolton in both the Premiership and the Carling Cup and I think the second-half performance has given us a platform to build on.'
