I met him once after a game. He was exactly what you say. My recollection of him was a useful striker who always gave 100%, but when you read the appraisal of himself if was a bit self effacing. He was a more than decent player.
Book Review on Talksport, this one was looking at Nelson's contributions, listened in car good on route somewhere, interview by reviewer and then Mr Nelson himself.
He's a top top fella, spent a lot of time with him on the London to Amsterdam ride, really down to earth as you'd expect. He may not have been one of the most prolific strikers we've ever had but he was always 100% committed and the team around that time remind me very much of the team now, collectively much better than the individual parts.

Top fella and player, great bit of business by Curbs bringing him and Gatting in from Brighton
He works in insurance now, saw him up in Manchester just before the play offs at a conference and had a great chat with him. He’s an absolute top bloke and still refers to Charlton as ‘we’
Always finds a few minutes to chat to fans. Went out of his way to send Charlton programmes to my boy when he was young. Made his day when one arrived in the post with a little personal note to the lad.
Last time I met him was when he was a guest of honour at Plymouth Argyle. He's a big favourite at Argyle too.
I concur about the nice guy bit. He visited our bar over here with a bunch of other veterans in 2006 and a few of us went out to dinner together. Bumped into him in 2018 at a match and he remembered it well.

Found him a delight to talk to, approachable and humble.
Not sure he joined in the allez allez allez choruses though:-)

He ran and ran for the team
