My Grandson, Freddie who was one of the mascots yesterday has just spent all morning at Basildon hospital after managing to his tear his ankle ligaments on the pitch yesterday!!
He has got to go back in a weeks time because they fear the ligament has pulled a small piece of bone away from the ankle.... how's your luck!
He'll certainly remember his day as a mascot, that's for sure!
Although the day didn't finish that well for him, I would just like to say a big thanks to all the staff for organising such a wonderful match day experience for the mascots. Sue, the lady that looks after the kids on the day deserves a special mention as she was great with them.

I tell ya, were cursed. Bl@@dy Toolbox pikey's
I did feel sorry for him as he was in tears last night and couldn't put his foot on the floor. What made it even worse was that he has had to miss the junior addicks Christmas party today. I was taking him and looking forward to meeting some of the players myself!
The lady in charge of the mascots is named Sue, biggest Charlton fan you will ever meet in your life, great woman.
Hope he's not out for too long and sure he enjoyed the day, anyway..
Another funny thing from Saturday was that Freddie's Dad (my son) is quite good at drawing cartoon characters, so he did one of Johnnie Jackson to get signed. I'm not quite sure what went wrong, but John thought it was for him and Freddie came home without it and as he was already tearful, this upset him even more!
Anyway, I contacted John on Twitter and he saw the funny side of it and promised to get it back to Freddie for the next home game, signed.
I must say we do seem to have a pretty decent bunch of staff and players at the club.
Sorry to hear about Freddie, really hope it isn't too bad mate.
