Apologies if this or something similar has already been posted but I notice there are a few nice articles out there regarding CP's current involvement in the England camp during the Euros.

     Former Southend United player and manager Chris Powell, who's now part of the England coaching set-up, has been praising the boss Gareth Southgate ahead of tonight's Euro 2020 semi-final against Denmark at Wembley Stadium https://t.co/ZhiHCNkAls https://t.co/XfxBnFy8Q3

    it’s quite it’s quite disrespectful that the press just call him England. Coach. Without naming Chris, he demands to be recognised as Chris Powell, not just a member of the England coaching staff. Love the man, an glad he is still in football at the highest level.   In his part of South London everybody knows his name, the the legend that is Sir Chris Powell.

    Seeing Chris there is so heart-warming. What an incredible man.

    You just know having him as part of the setup is nothing but positive.

    I don't think there's a man in football who I have so much love for.

    I know it makes more of a headline to highlight his Southend days (and even then when he was playing for them, they were a Championship level side), but "Former England player, Charlton player and manager and current Tottenham Academy head coach Chris Powell" would be a more appropriate description!

    Watching the highlights back after getting in from the pub, and seeing this had me feeling a bit emotional.

    There's at least 4 ex Charlton in the team photos in that piece, as well as Southgate, Ian Wright and I think I spotted Steve Claridge as well.

    I think Chris is the best loved man ever, to play for Charlton.
    Jacko runs him very close for me

    It’s fabulous to see him there in the set up. We know what he brings to a community of players and people. Delighted to see the smile on his face and see him him getting the credit he deserves.
    SCP - a complete class act.

    I had the pleasure, along with others, of his company  at a supporters meet when he was our manager. He's an absolute legend in my eyes. So happy he's on this incredible journey with England right now.

    I wonder if he can get tickets for Sunday for all the Charlton season ticket holders.

    Absolutely love the man. A real gentleman who is an absolute credit to the game of football. So glad he is part of this England set up. 

    In fact I would go further. One of the biggest disappointments, if not the biggest, of a 50 year plus charlton supporting life is the way the mad Belgian pulled the rug out from under him.

    I'd love him to come back in some capacity one day. 
    Well said that man. If we win the tournament the whole squad and coaches should be knighted. Although Chrissy is already Sir Chris in many of our minds. You can see he is an integral part of it all as well.
