I’ve never met the bloke. 30 years servant to the football club is an incredible achievement. All the other shit doesn’t matter, it’s a moment to recognise and pay respects too. The video of past and present Charlton legends pay homage to that. Thanks Chris.
I'm sorry but the last few years negate anything he did before. And by the way he's an office wallah, one of many essential workers perhaps but nothing particularly exceptional. As am I in my job, and many others are on here.

No need for apologies, opinions are like arseholes, we’ve all got them.

Yes.......but a popular and very very good one, which all those ex players have confirmed.
I have always found Chris to be a gentleman and a stand up guy.
Have nothing but respect for him and thank him for standing by the club.
30 years at this total nuthouse...got to respect that whatever you think of his other half.
He's absolutely brilliant. His last DVD had me in stitches:
"A funny thing happed to me on the way to the ground tonight, I got in the car and their were vol-au-vent crumbs everywhere. Absolutely everywhere they were. 'Crumbs' I said. 'Crikey' said the wife... Bernie, I like to call her... Do you all get that when you get in the car, vol-au-vent crumbs everywhere? Oh well, it must just be me then? ...or the wife! Do you know, she's been working very hard recently fighting against the undead? I like to call her Buffet The Vampire Slayer.
Talking of buffets, have you noticed how post match hospitality is always the same: Vol au vents, chicken legs, cheesecake. Vol au vents, chicken legs, cheesecake. That's all it is, same food repeated. Always reminds of Scooby Doo, the cartoon, where they always used to run down a corridor passing the same things. Plant, clock, plant, clock... And then you turn around and it's all gone. And Mrs P is standing there with here cheeks puffed out like a hamster with her handbag full of pastry. And she would have gotten away with it, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!
So I said to Roly 'send reinforcements or we don't stand a chance'. He said, 'You don't need three and fourpence to go to a dance, take this old brass farthing and you can pay me back with interest' ... and another thing, have you noticed how the chips at the club are getting smaller? I know Roly has a background in electronics but I didn't know we'd be getting microchips!
Women are funny aren't they? Take my wife, no really, take her. Take her as far from me as humanly possible!".

Bowyer clearly wants to draw a line through the Parkes bad feeling. I guess we have to move on, as they say.
They were some strange times.
One of the most distressing episodes I have witnessed being a Charlton fan....Chris was deeply affected by the atmosphere at the time. I have know him for around 55 years and can only say he’s a smashing fella, who would do any Addick a good turn if called upon.

To be fair Chris surely wouldnt deserve animosity anyway?
I think it was clear that the large majority of the animosity was directed at his wife for her pro Duchatelet/Meire stance, especially on Facebook (as I understand - not being on FB personally). Some of that probably got deflected onto Chris, for no better reason than he didn't publicly distance himself from her views. I would be pleased to have all of that drawn a line under, as I'm sure almost everyone would.
Not Keohane though. That bloke is poison and I hope he gets sent packing very soon.

Only Super Clive got it right!

Glad that awful chapter has finished and the future is looking very bright.
When Parkes arrived minutes later, cheeky Bowyer gestured to the pastries on his left and said: "Oi Parksey, fancy a vol-au-vont?"
when all is said and done the bloke has been here for 30 years and has tidied up as much as he can in that time.
Met him once - in a portacabin at Selhurst - and he couldnt have been nicer.
Times change, of course, but neither he or his wife are “the enemy”.
Lets thank him for his service.
I wonder how often she has seen her mate since she scuttled out of the building in December 2017.
She took the p*** out of the fans big style.
