    That would be better than getting guitar lessons off Jimi Hendrix.

    Didn't some clown.make up claim he had done the knowledge

    Good luck to the Ruuuuuf

    I'll bet he's doing this on a voluntary basis (knowing Richard and knowing the finances in SE7).

    Could still be working as a cabbie and coaching the U10s two or three nights a week and at the weekends. In fact it would fit together very well.

    Good to see, it would have been a shame to see his knowledge go to waste.

    It'll definitely come in handy when they're away to another London side.

    Absolute Charlton legend and possibly Jorge Costa aside, the best centre half I've ever seen at our club.

    didn't his son deny it ?

    I think we could do with Rufus coaching our 1st team back 4 at the moment!

    Presumably then he's qualified to both coach them and drive them to away matches.

    I got told by his cousin some years back that he was a preacher. I'd imagine a cabbie is better paid..
    But definitely welcome back Rufus!

    Very good.

  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    why the hell would somebody who played in the premiership era earning premiership wages need to do the knowledge ? Can't get my head around it, one premiership 3 year contract should see you set up for life.

    He blew the whole lot on Bibles and AtoZs.

    He is/was a pastor at an evangelical church.

    The money in the Premiership 10-15 years ago was MUCH different to what it is now, especially for Charlton. Probably the equivalent of what a Championship player makes, maybe less.

    Brilliant. Perhaps he'll be working with Paul Elliot to help the kids see how partnerships develop ? .....
  • northstandstevenorthstandsteve
    Well I know Lisbie was on £8k a week, thats 1/2 million a year before tax still a lot of money and I would imagine the ruf was on more
  • nth_london_addicknth_london_addick
    Any prem footballer for that many seasons has to be a millionaire I remember robbie blake signed a contract that was worth 3.5 mil over a 3 year period

    I think it was for derby or bradford that was around the time we went up I think for the second time

    And he was pony

    the rack mustve been on that or more surely

    It's not about how much you earn though, it's about what you do with it. That said, I would imagine - and hope - that someone like Rufus was a bit more sensible with it then the likes of, say, Steve Claridge !
