Old Voice

AFKABartram

Just flicked through No.45, letters page:

Haven't Steve and Alan figured it out yet ? We still need a striker. Our forwards couldn't score against a Diadora League outfit. So what i recommend is sell Scott Minto for £1m and buy Steve Portway from Gravesend and David Leworthy from Dover, then bring in Derek Hales as coach.

So come on Steve and Alan, what have you got to lose ? Portway and Leworthy are players for the future and future England strikers.

Johnathon Ackworth

WSS

lol

RedArmySE7

Ackworth used to have me in stitches. Where is he now?

Rothko

I saw him last week, and he looks even more of a freak now

Henry Irving

You couldn't make it up : - )

AFKABartram

That is from Nov 93, and there is also a pic of Vince at Brescia, looking about, well 40.....

Good ol Bonkathon Backworth from Cupsid in Kent :)

Volume 48, March 94

Arsey letter defending the supporters director role, the inability of the role holder to tell people what is going on. and the decline of Voice to a 'bitter magazine'.

Ben Hayes

AFKABartram

In fact, great stuff between Henry and the Rickster !!

We miss all these mini battles within the Charlton community. I'm off now to write a scathing piece on Inspector Sands.... :-)

That must have been before I sold out and started writing for VOTV. Or maybe not :- )

You should come to the Target 40,000 meetings. Nothing's changed.

Ketman

I have about 100 copies of VOTV that I was gonna send to New York Addick until his missus threw a wobbler still got them all boxed up looking for a new home.

LoOkOuT

Me, Me, Ketman!

NorthStandUltra

I have copies of Goodbye Horse and one of the letters in there is from a bloke who bought the team suggested by Ackworth on a version of Football Manager - anyway, this team ended up in the old 4th division quite quickly!

Southendaddick

I bet there is a letter from Large slagging off Leeeaaaburrrnnn.

Absolute guarantee every month :)

Does that mean I can dust off my anti-AFKA post? Excellent!

Fight, fight, fight

BDL

God, just found out he lives round the corner from me.

Where do you live? Heaven?

Airman Brown

Rest assured nobody has as many old copies of VOTV as I do . . .

Addickted

Shouldn't have had so many printed then.

I've got an old copy of 'Library News' if you're interested Airman?

Hardly! Ackworth lives not far from here.

nolly

ackworth charltons shame

Leroy Ambrose

LOL - Anyone remember the picture of him printed in the voice? Never sure whether it actually was him or just the editorial staff taking the piss - he looked a right muppet. The Voice pretty much sums up why I love this club - although a lot of teams' fanzines are pretty funny, none of them were ever as good as VOTV IMNSHO. I was devastated when it finished - though I enjoyed GBH as well it was much more like a 'real' fanzine - it just didn't have the 'feel' of the voice

No, that really was him. It was a good fanzine but of its time.

Are you waiting for the price to go up again : - )

northstandsteve

I remeber being on the train to Derby away when they started selling the first edition.In my opinion the birth of VOTV was instrumental in us getting back to the valley.

Addickted

In my opinion it was instrumental in the introduction of 3 ply toilet paper.

VOTV was only slightly better than that Izal stuff you used to get at school. ;-)

Izal....? Izal McLeod?

Weegie Addick

Can't believe that his name actually is pronounced like the toilet paper...but seems to be if the commentators have got it right.

Badger

Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be s...
Ducks.

Airman Brown

"I've got an old copy of 'Library News' if you're interested Airman?"

With that I'm impressed!

Henry is absolutely right that the Voice was for its time. With hindsight I should probably have stopped it in 1998, but it was great fun while it lasted.
