    That article doesn't mention us, I suppose they don't want to highlight that he became Charlton manager 40 years ago  :)

    You've got to admire his love for the game, not many people would still be actively involved in football aged 74, and not at the glamour end either.

    74 😳. How old was he when he managed us? I guess I’m lost by track of time and am also aging fast

    We probably wouldn’t be here discussing any of this stuff - what on earth would @DamoNorthStand have done - if it wasn’t for Lennie. Even if he did suddenly desert us for Middlesbrough.

    He's 74 now and became Charlton manager about 40 years ago, tough maths question that  :D

    He was my late wife's PE teacher at Malory school in 1970 - quite a long working life - he'll stand for American President next.

    Lennie Lawrence first game in charge was at Gay Meadow ShrewsburyTown 27th Nov 82.
    went up to the game and enjoyed a 0-0.
    One of my favorite grounds.

    Was he really 34 when he began managing us? He's one of those people who always looked in his late-fifties! I'm sure he started crosswords and Sudukos from the pram!

    Nothing but respect for all he did for the club in its darkest hour.
