Had the privalige to meet him at the unveiling of the Bartram Statue. Got his autograph in my Valiant 500 which I think he was slightly surprised to be asked for. Lovely old man but very frail and almost blind,
Sad to hear he's gone. I'm told he always took a great interest in the club and was instrumental in getting Keith Peacock to join CHarlton.
His funeral will be at Barham Crematorium (near Canterbury) at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, 11th September should anyone want to know.
Was he the oldest living ex-player and who would it be now

Sad news. RIP Eric.
"Sailor" Brown is over 90 I believe and is older than Eric.
I imagine following Eric's death that "Sailor" is probably the only surviving player to have played in the first team prior to World War 2.
Can anyone confirm or deny?
Possibly only Colin Cameron would know. Where's Airman Brown when you need him?
