    Shows how far we have come. Starting to see a gap between us and the bottom teams in the Championship (on paper at least). Would expect us to win tonight.

    He has been on trial there for about a month now I think. Some Bolton fan on Twitter was asking me about him. Would be a good move for him as it goes, considering I worried he might have to drop down to League One.

    He might be next season

    A reminder to all those youngsters in sport who get rejected that this doesn't have to be the end for them. And a lesson to all those who think they've made it but fail to put in enough effort despite their talent.

    Lawrie Wilson was not a sheep
    Despite dressing up as little Bo Peep
    And after walking in a Wilson wonderland
    I felt Lawrie was worth a couple of Grand.

    Yes cos we all know the pinnacle of any aspiring young footballer is to walk out at the valley wearing the famous red kit of Charlton Athletic.

    The "Vicar" kit.  Got a few signed spares of those if anyone wants to donate to Upbeats!

    And he got to play three seasons in the second tier of English football doing so. I wonder what percentage of youngsters that start playing football at the age of eight or nine are that successful?

    Works in insurance now, my mate works with him and I had a good chat with him over a pint at the BIBA Conference in Manchester a few weeks back

    Top fella and very very complimentary about all his time at Charlton

    Mine was more a joke on how he made it back to Charlton and his advice of never giving up to reach that dream. (Of playing for the mighty Charlton)

    Of course very few will make it. Very few will even make it to playing professional football. Most will have to move it to a hobby and find other work. 

    Always like Wilson. Thought he was underated. A mate of mine used to slag him off all the time which made me more defensive of him. Met him once when he was playing for ebbsfleet. Nice fella.

    When he might have been very bitter about it and/or given the game up. A lot of youngsters do but he probably, unlike some, actually loved playing football.

    I remember him catching my eye for his all energy style, not knowing his background at the time, when he played for Stevenage at the Valley. He was their standout player, they only just missed out on promotion and he ended up playing 56 games for them that season. The following year he was back with us in the Championship.

    Mate of a mate was so bitter about being released by Charlton at 16 that he became a Palace fan!

    He bounced around non-league for a while (Sittingbourne, VCD), but you could see why he didn't make it as a pro despite his ability and pace.

    Was due to clear my cupboard out!  I cannot promise when Pelling, but i will dig the box out.  Generally bought them to frame back in the day so not sure of sizes.  Will take a look and PM you if I find anything suitable.

    Only one Lawrie Wilson, but apparently more than one Charlton?  ;)

    Just seen you put they were signed so the size is less important!  :D
