I always remember the day we signed him, I saw him in a pub at London bridge on the fruit machine. He was in his full Charlton tracksuit or I wouldn't have recognised him
He's a nice guy , always gave 100% and scored some memorable goals. Those players from the 1990's - early 2000's didn't earn a fortune but will be remembered long after today's players
Interesting features on him in the book "the nowhere men" about football scouts. He didn't seem to make any money on it, but you could tell he has great passion for football
I purchased a signed photo of the 1998 playoff with some signed from Steve 10th June for £34 but still haven’t received it. We have been corresponding but after reading the other thread I’m starting to become very scepital.
I don’t think he deliberately set out to con people, however, for one reason or another things got out of control and the project with Clive became more than he could handle and some punters evidently never have and most likely never will get their promised and paid for items.......though the numbers originally involved were never established. Some got things sorted out but there are still some (once again numbers unknown), who haven’t. A nice enough fella but, as others have suggested, he ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer when it comes to small business administration matters, which no doubt contributed to the shambles it became.....not that it’s any consolation to those who have been left out of pocket. I was given to understand by dear old Bernie Wickham (RIP), that one or two of the team at Wembley ‘98 got to hear about it and gave him an earful. Clive has distanced himself from any wrong doing (and rightly so), not sure if they are still pal’s nowadays.

All very well but if he couldn’t meet the targets on the goods he should have returned the money. Anyone that knows me knows I absolutely loved the pants (in my head literally) off this man But at the end of the day fraud is fraud. If it was just a general member of the public or a shop selling memorabilia and goods weren’t received as promised, or missing paid for elements and no refund was offered or given, people wouldn’t be so forgiving and certainly wouldn’t put it down to just lack of brain cells.

Did anyone not receive what they should have ....eventually?
theres others as well which seem to imply that it was eventually sorted out but i'm not entirely sure.
Set up Super Clive for his hat trick goal.
Not the most gifted striker but ran his socks off.
Did this come to a resolution in the end?
Found the info on the above thread.
