Biggs recruited the dodgy train driver to move the train once it had been stopped by Reynolds team, he had nothing to do with the violence that the original train driver sadly received. He was a petty crook not a violent criminal who is famous for escaping from prison after receiving 30 years as a member of the gang and going on the run. He was not a nonce or murderer, so all the moral judges on here, dont blow it out of all proportion!
Criminal nonetheless, knew where home was when he needed it. But I cant believe he was all bad. If that was in fact a Charlton scarf with him at the end it shows there was a decent side to him.
There are worse crooks that go to the Valley every home game . Biggs was a nobody until the GTR and his subsequent escape!
I don't believe the Daily Mail and I don't believe the BBC. But which one is telling the truth this time? There's only one way to find out....... FIGHT!!!
Isn't the scarf in Absurdistan's photo the same scarf as the one at the funeral? If so, then unless the photo is photoshopped, surely we can stop this debate now? Clearly Arsenal, regardless of what the bbc, itv or the mail say.
Does any of this really matter? Are we so desperate to add to our tiny pool of 'celebrity' supporters? That would be pretty sad. He probably supported us, and Arsenal and probably other London teams too. His perogative. And now he's dead. Let him RIP.

Stanley Mathews' autobiography trumps the daily mail. Excerpt via the Ronnie Biggs Wikipedia page:
Biggs was even visited by former footballer Stanley Matthews, whom Biggs afterwards invited to his apartment after hearing that he was in Rio. "We had tea on the small balcony at the rear of his home, and one of the first things he asked was, 'How are Charlton Athletic doing?' It turned out he had supported Charlton from being a small boy and had often seen me play at The Valley."[15] Around this time, "Ronnie Biggs" mugs, coffee cups and T-shirts also appeared throughout Rio.

So it must be true, no one can edit Wikipedia can they?
Classic! If I am what's wrong with Charlton, and I really have very little to do with them, then sadly it's people like you that are wrong with the country as a whole.
it amazes me why being a lefty should be insulting. Caring about people and social justice shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of, no matter how well you may be doing yourself. Glad to see our new owner is a lefty too.

Cause anyone else from any other political persuasion don't care about anyone else except themselves

I could say something about Cameron, Osborne, Gove, Hunt etc etc. But I won't ;-)

Can't be Charlton. We never get anything wrong where there's trains involved.
FIGHT!!!
