    If it is him, and i have no doubt it is, what a poor sod having to sell that due to a "financial crisis".

    Especially considering what players earn now.

    Played a big part in that final and in our year up the year after.

    Think the club should stump up and buy it off him.
  • Well it looks like him in the picture...

    At that price, I think Oohaah's the only one on here likely to be in the running...
  • It is very sad, I agree, the club should buy it back, he may want to get it back when he has a little more money.

    Has to be said he doesn't look too upset in the picture!
  • I believe he had a sports memorabilia company and went down the drain.
  • it is him, remember when he sold his shirt last year as well.

    Can't see the club doing it but possibly someone well connected to the club personally might?
  • It's him alright ,but the medal is probably a fake.

    Jonesey was born into a family of 'travellers',and the original medal was melted down to make his mum some new earings and his uncle a couple of teeth!
  • Seems like a lot of money to me....its not as flash as Id expect a play off final winners medal to be.....looks like the sort of thing that gets handed out to my kids at Football fun week :-)
  • thats Jonsie alright good powerful foward, always busy, and a complete handful, used to run and run, we got him from West Ham
  • Sponsored links:


  • I think we paid £400K and shipped him on to Bristol City.
  • Before he became a pro at West Ham he worked in a soap factory in Billericay.

    No idea what the relevance of that useless piece of info is ;-).
  • He deserves a decent bid just for his goal at Swindon that season. Very sad that he's had to do this.
  • sure is sad
    It was him, last year selling stuff is money that bad?

    Maybe lay off the Fila clothes and go Matalan that would save a few notes
  • Why dont we all chip in and buy it off him each lifer owning it for a day a year at 2500 we would need 365 people putting in £7.00

    i am up for a scores worth?
  • Great idea, NLA - I'm in as long it gets delivered to me in Glasgow and picked up the day after ;-) Otherwise the Royal Mail will make a fortune out of us!
  • weegie i will drop it up and then go on the pish in Glasgow no probs

    Sounds like a plan!

  • Incidently, we've just had out kitchen done and his units are the same as the ones we had ripped out

  • That is sad.... old Soapy eh......

    Jimmy, sometimes you should read the thread before you comment :-) Charlton Life are going to buy it if we can find 365 of us in for £7.50...
  • Ill put in $7.50 ...
  • [cite]Posted By: mascot88[/cite]Ill put in $7.50 ...

    and a round trip to Oz for someone??
  • only if i can have a look at the thing next time im in town.... hold it in pocket during a match or something...
  • There are slight flaws in my plan but i am sure we can work around it just needs carefull planning
  • Maybe we should open A Charlton Life museum and put it in there together with that positive post i made in February 2007.
  • Yeah that shelve with the NSS positive posts does look Bare you should add the lifers coach thread to it also though

    I had read that comment.
    'Anyone' is exactly that: 'one'.
    I hardly think a consortium of people constitutes 'someone'
  • I'd pay £7.50 but only if we display it in a glass cabinet in the club, with a buy-back option for Steve Jones.
