i reconize the tallish skinny blonde guy in the first set of pics, was always on the away coach from charlton, with the old girl who had the clipboard.
I'm pretty certain that I remember that tall guy giving the 2 fingered salute, from The Covered End in the 1970's. He used to stand just in front of me, towards the back, slightly to the left of the goal, as you looked at the pitch. I also remember the guy in front of him. Blimey we're talking about 35 years ago.
They both go by the name of Chris and that is indeed the location normally taken up in the old Covered End days. I saw the Chris in front a few years back at the Valley although his health was not so good. I went to school with both of them.
TellyTubby, I believe you posted your name on another thread, but I won't repeat it here just in case. Suffice to say I know you by sight and name, although we've never spoken (like about a 1000 fans I recognise but don't speak to). You used to have a crash helmet with you, wore a leather jacket & have a blonde girlfriend/wife.

I stood behind you for donkeys years.
I have been sussed. As you know who I am, I hope that I never offended you:-)
So what happened to the tall guy giving the 2 fingered salute ?
He got married.
Looks like a Charlton fan from Eltham I used to work with. His initials were CT.
Another person ID confirmed sir. I have made an enquiry to check my facts and will report back when updated. Do you have his current contact details? He might find this debate interesting.

Unfortunately no contact details. Last saw him about 4 years ago. He was married with a young son and was living in Margate. He did'nt make it to the Valley to often then. Lost touch when I left the job.
TOMMY think you traveled to Italy for the two matches in 94 if so have some good photos of ROME. I was waiting for Norman to arrive with my flight ticket at Gatwick only just made the flight.Will try to post photos if you agree,

You can see how low tech/cheap and nasty the show was then. Think we were only the 5th set of fans to go on the show.
