in General Charlton
Former Goalkeeper Albert Uytenbogaardt, has sadly died at the age of 94.

Born in Cape Town in 1930, he joined Charlton Athletic in October 1948, and was a long term understudy to Sam Bartram, making his league debut on the 18/12/1948 at home to Stoke City.


He was, until his death, the oldest living former Addick.

    Had a good innings, RIP. I hope the Wrexham hype does not ignore this and he gets a minutes silence or clapping tomorrow

    RIP - saw him on the few occasions Bartram was not available. A huge presence and today would have walked into our present team without a challenge

    A good candidate for a minute's applause. Amazing dedication to stick with the club so long as a deputy.

    Part of me thinks we should commemorate him by making a statue and putting it outside the West Stand in place of Sam once every two seasons.

    RIP

    Agree

    Was fortunate enough to meet him in 2005 at the centenary party when we carried a crossbar from East St to the Valley.  People took turns and I was lucky enough to share duties with the big man himself.
    He was so gracious that day. Bruv and I really fell for him. An absolutely lovely man.

    Always sad when one our living history passes away.
    But it had a good innings I hope he has left lots of fond memories to his family and thar declining numbers of Charlton supporters who saw him play.

    He was a good guy. I met him. But you can’t sensibly have a minute’s applause for someone who played six matches (especially when Sam didn’t get one).
