From what I understand, for many years Killer just thought of Charlton and any other club he played for as a former employer, no more, no less. In recent years he has warmed to the idea that he means so much to so many fans, and has a real affinity for the club.
Changing subject slightly I heard a whisper some time back now that Nicky Johns is not in the best of health. Is that right?
He was a guest at a Bromley Addicks meeting a few years back.
He had had a serious car accident and wasn't able to work full time.
He was a very shy man who found it hard to fathom, after all these years, that people were interested in him as a footballer. He had never been back to the Valley and was a little bitter over how he had been treated by Palace following his injury.
A very complex man and not at all a "typical" footballer. That was a few years ago (Deano just beated his clean sheet record so must have been 2000) so I hope he's come thru it now.
Nicky Johns is one of my all time fav players. Who can remember his display against Chelsea in the midweek 1-1 draw in the 80's? I think I'm right in saying that Ken Bates had agreed to bring the game forward to help us out financially (it was our biggest home game of the season)

Spotty
he is a cock.
Incidentally, how does he get to be a pundit on sky. He is useless!!
how come? he comes to games and drinks in the oak!
Went and worked for Palace's Community Scheme.
Very odd.
I think we have a winner!

Lets hope not.
Never heard him say anything nice about Charlton
I absolutely loathe his analysis.
