  • All the players seemed to enjoy themselves and meeting up again.

    Well done Keith Peacock for organising.

    Upbeats were great too.

    Powell looks like he's pointing towards the Goal... explaining: "Thats the goal, you ball the ball in it... Simple!!"
  • Today was great fun. Wish more had turned up to support it, as they would have enjoyed it, unlike many league matches of recent times.

    Chris's command of the English language has diminished since he spent 5 minutes listening to Karl Robinson talking
    Corrected.
  • A bunch of nobodys, famous for doing something on Youtube & are shit at football can sell out the valley, but some of the greatest players to ever put on a Charlton shirt play a charity match at the Valley & it's not even half full!

    Makes me so sad & very angry!

    P'raps a better way of looking at it, is a misuse of the word "Legend(s)"

    Out of those playing today, those that I'd genuinely be happy to pay to watch, would barely make up an XI but definitely there wouldn't be any subs!

    Of course they are all part of the clubs history but that doesn't mean they're worth paying to see.
  • Was impressed with Webster's commitment today, some proper tackles . At least if he injured someone he could give them physio afterwards!

    To be fair the YouTube match was also for charity I believe, but I get your point.

    Wasn't it Paul Hayes rather than Ben. ? If I'm wrong Ben you're a today player

    Some ex-players keeping themselves in trim (some not!) A great afternoon. Good showings from Kim Grant, Lee Bowyer and others. Paul Hayes looked fit but he only stopped playing this year I think....

    Superb that some travelled huge distances to attend. Grant from Bangladesh! Not sure how Kishishev and Garland managed to do so well bearing in mind the built-in handicap!

    A brilliant afternoon, really enjoyed it , certainly brought back lots of memories, seeing all those players again, there was a lot of Charlton love in the house!

    Great cause, result didn't really matter, didn't know the real Mr Hayes was on the bench, although I did see Paul Hayes come on.

    Really wish more people could have shown up.

    Oldest player on the pitch, Steve Gritt. Played the whole game.

    Peter Garland didn't put a foot wrong.
    Man of the match.

    He's quality, played against him a few times now and go honestly a cut above most in a competitive vets league.
    He never misplaces a pass, just seems to glide around unnoticed which is an achievement in itself.
    Just enjoys his football, told my boy today, watch him play, he will just spray it about.
    The shot he had today reminded me of a goal he scored at home to Bolton in the 90s. I might be imagining that though.

    great day out with my 3 year old grandson whose dad had turned him into a dulwich hamlet supporter, so i took him in the shop bought him a charlton shirt,put it on him and took his photo with the sam bartram statue,in front of super cIives poster with him mimicking the guns salute and in front of the playoff winners team trying to explain it all to him,he loved it all, think things have changed now as my daughter just text me that since ive dropped him home he keeps singing the red red robin and said dad can come next time if he wants.special thanks also to johnny jackson (who else) who made sure he got his autograph after being crowded out by the bigger kids.Some class acts there today.Curbs,Kish and big fat pete were my standout players today and gritty scored a great own goal, Chris Powell blasted a penalty over the bar in front of the covered end.

    My only thought after the game is....
    Who could be in that legends game in another 15 years or so that I'd look forward to seeing again.

    Maybe Jackson, Solly, Elliott, Waggy.

    That's about it for me.
  • SCP walked along the whole length of the Covered End signing autographs and agreeing to selfies right around to the tunnel. CURBS went over as well to chat to people after the game. MATTY H was not the only one to thank people.

    Curbs say " buy this book"

    The Museum gave all the legends a copy as a thank you.

    The rest of you have to pay £10

    It was an afternoon when you truly realised what a loser Roland Duchatelet is.

    Oh Fuck
