Sad news.. I remember Jerry from games back in the 70's. He was always upbeat and had a smile on his face. I spoke to him briefly a few months ago at the Valley which must have been his last game - RIP.

RIP - remember him well from his days accompanying Paul Pace home and away.

RIP Maltese Jerry.

I know Maltese Paul (Paul Pace ? ).

I can't picture Jerry. A photo would be nice if the family thought it appropriate.

The31YearMan

First remember Jerry from our memorable 5-4 win over Chesterfield in the 1970's. His boy use to accompany him on all the away trips bunking off from school. Loved his Charlton. Genuine nice man. Rest in Peace Jerry.

Very sad news. Gerry, his son young Gerard, and Paul Pace, along with Paul's wife, were regular fixtures at away games, and always good company. RIP Gerry, gone but never forgotten.

Remember those guys well from the 70s. Familiar faces home and away. RIP

Think I knew him back in the 70s, was he shortish, rotund, with a mop of unruly black hair spreading out from under his cap, always had a big grin ?

RIP Gerry

I've probably got the wrong person. Did he pick up Lewis coaches in Battersea, along with Vince, during the 70s?..
Son, played Gk, for youth team?.

If you and @The31YearMan were on talking terms you could ask him. But you orchestrated a campaign of terror against him on the DJ coach because he got the Trust coach to Oxford. He still has night terrors at what a pariah he has become

He used to stand near the half-way line on the east terrace near the the front in the 70's & i think was from the Battersea area, his son was a goalkeeper & may have played for the youth team.
He travelled by train in the late 70's,early 80's to away games.I think he may have been an organiser of Valley away train travel with or after Mick Walker packed it in.

RIP Gerry.

RIP Gerry, Knew him from games but not personally.....Does Maltese Paul still go? Saw him and his flat cap at Sellout games.

Hastingsaddick

RIP...remember him and his mate from late 70's/early 80's.

Paul Pace goes very rarely nowadays - no time for the Regime. His era was Lennie Lawrence when he was kit man/driver. Gerry was always with him and as others have said, more often Gerry's son and Paul's missus. They fitted in perfectly with the rag-tag and bobtail regular following we had then as we exited northern train stations before Midday on match days - happy days.
