Luke Young (born 9 July 1979 in Harlow, Essex) is an English footballer, currently playing with Charlton Athletic
He started playing with Tottenham Hotspur in 1997, making over 50 appearances at right-back. He was transferred to Charlton in 2001, for a fee of £4 million. He has made over 120 appearances for Charlton, once playing alongside Mark Fish, Jorge Costa and Jon Fortune in a defence whose names spelled out the message 'young fish cost a fortune'.
In the spring of 2005 he was voted player of the year by the Charlton fans, and this was soon followed by a call-up to the English national team.
