Very good article. Bumped into him and his wife, the actress Sally Lindsay and their twins a few years ago in a car park in Sidcup High Street. It was one of those moment where you recognise someone but aren't absolutely sure that it is that person.
Expect that lack of certainty is the reason they didn't ask me for a selfie with them!
I think they gave him the push. Apparently he'd been a bit unreliable, and had a few tendinitis issues too (the Charlton injury curse!), and I think they wanted Zak in anyway
He's up against Mark Lawrensen doing the score predictions this week. Talks about Charlton as well
"I had no choice in the matter," White told BBC Sport. "My first Charlton game was against Bolton in 1971. I went to The Valley with my dad and my grandad, and I was never allowed to go anywhere else."
There are so many of us out there who have had to suffer like this, forced into supporting CAFC.
Like the way he demonstrated his playing with both a traditional and matched grip. I struggled to do either though you wouldn't really expect anything else from a former drummer in a punk band would you!
Used to see him in the players lounge (millenium suit) back in the day lots, got him and Noel to sign a program when we played city once. Was his grandad called Mo ?
Documentary on the Style Council on Sky Arts on 31 October
Well worth a watch. Saw the Sky VIP preview event last month. They had Steve and Mick in first for a hour’s chat with Eddie Piller before showing the documentary in full.
Can’t recall Steve ever sitting in with Oasis. Are BBC just mixing him up with Alan, or did he ever drum for them?
I brought Steve into a Twitter conversation with Thomas the other day, suggesting he add drums to Thomas’ guitar of Valley Floyd Road. Steve agreed and I suggested a gig at The Valley which they both seem up for. Also suggested getting The Who along, with their Valley history, as part of a Teenage Cancer Trust gig as they can’t do the RAH gigs this year.

Thank me if it ever happens 😉
Played on an Oasis tour (2000 I think) when Alan got tendernightes and he covered a few gigs and joined the list of the 5 Oasis drummers!

Googled him on the back of this and said he sold his knightsbridge home for £7.5m so that probably will have set him up for a year or two ;-)
Was he jogged on from Oasis? I thought he just had enough of it all. Cannot believe it is 16 years blimey.

No... he was in their cover band :-)
You only have to punch the drum pattern into the machine once.

I loved the picture cover that said this way up for the Fulham Fallout, and hence the disc fell out of the open sleeve bottom.
