Had a chat with him on Tuesday when he valued my daughter's flat in Beckenham.
I'm definitely getting my flat valued then, wasn't sure if he'd come as think he's the manager there. Thought it might be weird to demand they sent him, especially when he sees the shrine to him under the stairs.
i was drinking in Blackheath the day we were promoted up at Carlisle and Eddie was in there and as we had gone up and my Mrs and Eddie had both won on the grand national we shared a bottle of champagne
On a stag do in Liverpool I met his dad weirdly. The same weekend we shared a table seat with 2 girls from the only way is Essex
Now before anyone asks because I asked this too 'how did you identify him as Eddie youds' father
He was speaking to a couple of my mates who were at the bar and given our accents he asked who supported who, my mate who whilst being an old school chelsea fan and generally very knowledgeable about the beautiful game told him who supported who and he asked if anyone was a charlton fan. My pal then pointed me out, Eddies dad came over and said hello and showed me his driving licence and waited for a reaction. Lovely guy and very funny also.

so some random scoucer called youds scammed a free drink from you...
Eddies Dad was in the pub before the game at Blackburn in 98/99, it was a freezing cold day and it seemed to be colder inside the pub than out! The barman, who was a real Coronation Street type, asked if we were up for t'football. Youds Snr replied "Why else would you go to f***ing Blackburn!" Seemed a good fella, like everyone says about Eddie, apart from maybe Denis Bergkamp.
Met Youds a couple of times, I have his 2000 White Redbus top, although sadly not matchworn as he never got to play for us again after his terrible injury at Huddersfield. Often would see him in the South spoons.

Real old school centre back, who wasn't adverse to a bit of the rough stuff, as I am sure Pierre Van Hoojdonk would agree with!
