Charlton were good!

Watching the game last night in a Munich beer garden and got talking to one of the many Croats... Arsenal or Tottenham he asked me recognising my London accent. Ah Charlton!! I know he said great team! Curbishly, Bent, Parker, Bartlett.. Even stranger this guy was about 25! But said he still thinks of Charlton as a premiership team! Haha! At least a smile was, brought to my face on a depressing evening!

That's better than a taxi driver in Malaysia who asked me whether I supported Manchester United or Liverpool. Charlton, I replied. Then, he just started laughing; laughing longer than the usual length of time. When he stopped he said "Good team with Darren Bent but now not very good" and started laughing again; laughing longer than normal. His tip was fairly poor.

I've had the other side of the coin, told a Vietnamese man that i supported Charlton, he misheard Cheltenham and began reeling off the clubs history. Didn't have the heart to stop him it was very impressive!

Waiter in Greek mainland asked me who I supported couple years back. I said you will not have heard of them, Charlton. He smiled enormously and said I am Bulgarian ! Kisheshev has made Charlton household name in Bulgaria .

Not quite so far flung,but was walking down pride hill (town centre) Shrewsbury in my Charlton top 1999 ish(I used to live there) and got called a glory hunter by a chav... didn't know whether to laugh at him or give a history lesson.

Either option would have resulted in you getting pepper sprayed by their OB

Bit closer to home. Playing golf with a Palarse supporter today.

A friend of mine who knows nothing about football asked what league Palarse are in...

Bloke then said " what about Charlton" do you know what league they are in... Zzzzzz

Then spouted actually have you ever heard of them? Thought that was actually quite funny then caught myself and just said "prick" and duly duffed my Tee shot. Grrrr

Even in July on a golf course on a great sunny day they still piss me off ...

A bit off tangent but .....

We landed in Melbourne and immediately got an excited text that we had won 4-2 at Highbury. Was gutted I’d missed it.

A week or so later in Adelaide Cathedral with my Charlton top on a Aussie approached me and said what a great win that was last night eh. A puzzled look crossed my face as I knew it was an international weekend back home. Transpired that as there were no PL games they had shown the whole Arsenal game again. Couldn’t believe I’d missed it again.

Nice place though Adelaide.
