Never seen an 18 year old before or since at Charlton have such an impact on the team like Bow did in his first full season with us in 95/96. Highlight for me was his goal at the Valley against the scum. Great Memories. Always had a lot of time for Lee.
Used to really like Bowyer, an exciting player full of spirit, and very talented. Then the stories appeared, and his return to the valley, after a warm welcome from the crowd, was both upsetting and frankly immature. I though he acted like a real idiot. He seemed hell bent on acting like a hard man, or what he thought passed as a hard man. If the stories of his behaviour are correct, I would be amazed if this happened.
Paul Walsh.....Alan Cambell...The Roof....Mike Bailey...Robert Lee...Lenny Glover....Marvin Hinton...Eddie Firmani....Stuart Leary....the list goes on.
Yes Lee was terrific....but so were all of these I have mentioned as well as some by others...was Lee better than 'all' of these....some yes but not all I think.

And give one back to jints and tell him not to be so silly

And then reading the paper on the way to Liverpool I think in the cup about how George gram let him go as he felt he was too small as a kid to make it
Then Wilkinson when he signed him saying that we had played him far too often and if he was a horse he would've been burnt out in the knackers yard
Bowyer was by far the best young player I think we produced
