    Supporter of the Year was the legend that is Norman Barker, better known to all away travellers as Headphones Norm.

    His award was presented to him by Nathan Jones.


    Good choice.

    Two of my Charlton heroes. As a young supporter I was so gutted when Lenny was sold to Leicester.

    Fantastic. He used to travel on the coach when I first started to watch Charlton regularly back in 82 . First time I’ve ever seen him without the headphones. 
    Supporter legend .

    Fab evening - Lennie Glover is a character and a half - lovely bloke - I had a good chat with Lennie, Jacko, and Nathan - but massive call out for Norm - lovely bloke, and he was at the ‘74 Who concert as well 

    Museum was full of people this evening who love CAFC ❤️

    Great to see Norm win! 
    How are Supporter of the Year awards decided? Would be great to know how/where to vote, and even nominate!

    Norm is a Legend - everywhere I've ever been with Charlton he's there.

    He's rocking Richard Prior / Brewsters Millions vibes in that pic

    Big well done to Ian Wallis @killerjerrylee for making sure it happened and organising the night.

    Huge thanks to all the museum trustees and volunteers for their work getting the place ready, serving drinks etc.  We'll tidy up this morning.

    And a special thanks to everyone who came along, shame we couldn't have had a bigger venue.  Very pleased that Nathan came at short notice and made an off the cuff speech.

    Good to see Norman recognised. Feels like he,s been a presence at home/away for my entire Charlton supporting life (over 60 years).

    @Bailey I see you :) Well done the Museum. Norman grew up round my way - top fella, and can still see him walking round playing his music in the 70s.

    I attended last night's event as Lennie's chauffeur as he lives in Herne Bay and I am in Chartham. First time I've ever been in the  museum, I was gobsmacked how wonderful the museum is and is a credit to the wonderful work that trustees and volunteers have put in to make this a museum to be proud of. I've been  trying for a while to convince Lennie how much he is remembered and loved down at Charlton and last night I got it over the line, Lennie gets it now and is looking forward to attending more events with me as his driver, one of the best days I've ever had at Charlton for sure.  Congratulations to Norm, throughly deserved,  a special mention for Nathan Jones whose  attendance shows how totally committed he is to this wonderful club and of course the wonderful Johnnie Jackson. 
    Always something new to see. I had an old pin badge (50s ?) stuck in a drawer that an old Charlton fan gave me 30 years ago when he moved abroad -  was chuffed the Museum took it and put in one of their cabinets. In their archive forever now. It is an asset for sure, so much stuff and growing - even smells like a museum :)   

    Must have a lot of undisplayed archive bits too. Brilliant.
