    Rings a bell, not seen him for years, anyone know if he still goes?
    Believe he does, still bump into him every now and again, used to go on the away coaches for years with him and many others (Betty's coach)

    Any idea what the story is behind that nickname?

    The museum would love to have these and any other fan photos from any era.

    @TellyTubby can we borrow them to scan them please?

    Meanwhile, what we do have in the Museum

    I went to Brescia. A great day but a long day. I’m sure ive seen a official video of this trip once on a coach going to/return anyway match.

    I'm pretty sure I saw him in Belgium for the protest but as a shit drinker and their strong lager it was all a bit hazey for me
    Yes, he was definitely in Belgium as I spoke to him.
    He lives in Kent now, possibly Whitstable and IIRC (probably don't) he doesn't come to many games these days.

    My biggest regret was going to the England game instead of Italy, I left the groups match tickets in a bar, they were still there an hour later but, in going back to them I got chased all about Rotterdam. Found my way back to the England fans near to the railway station just in time to be baton charged and CS gassed.

    Eventually got to the ground but was soon hit by a flying tyre lever chucked into our corner and then lost to a dubious goal. Did I not like that!

    We were kept in for what seemed like hours, subjected to hardcore techno just to calm us all down whilst everyone about me planned to wreck Dublin the following week.

    Classic 80s/90s England away trip!

    Been to a few overseas pre season trips but would give anything to follow Charlton in Europe just once before I pop my clogs

    Keep an eye out for the pre-season friendlies.

    Met up with my mate who'd stayed in Amsterdam the day before the match and he'd brought some industrial strength grass with him.

    Couldn't even get up off my seat when they finally let us out after the game.

    Martin does indeed live in Whitstable, that was one messy trip, Ancona wasn't a bad crack either!

    I can’t get enough of your away days in the early 90s.

    think we were held up because England had played somewhere in Europe that night and there had been trouble. Remember getting back to Bexleyheath about 8am.

    No. You’d have to go back many more decades for a young @Henry Irving :-)

    I think the older guy front left with the flat cap was interviewed by the TV crew on the 1st game back at the valley.

    I was in Milan last year and I mentioned to my Italian pal that I’d been to see Charlton play at Brescia in the Italian Anglo cup. I mentioned there might be a video on YouTube of the trip and the match. We came across a video and I then noticed me boarding the plane and so we took a then and now photo
