Hasn't missed a game for 10 years or something
Always carrying a rucksack with him and wears the same outfit (apparently). always looks dishevelled.
I saw him a few times on some of the away games a couple of years back (Brizzle, Cov, Hull and Wolves) and thought he had disappeared but saw him again at Gillingham - just wondered if anyone knew him
Comments
Seen him around and comes to Bromley Meetings sometimes.
Legend
I am sure a lot of people have favourite characters amongst our support base.
We idolised Ray - old fella who sat/sits in the East Stand - looks like Van Morrison, always carries a carrier bag wherever he goes - always pissed as a fart. We used to sing "he keeps his songs in his bag" to him whenever we met - he had no idea what we meant but used to hold the bag aloft & shout "wahey"......
Remember the Bolton cup tie a few years ago, wandering into some obscure pub miles from The Reebok - to see Van the Man ensconsed in the corner, probably on his 6th pint of the day - ah the memories.
Good lads, passionate fans though have their "odd" moment!
Anyone know the black fella who also seems to be everywhere, sits at the back of the lower north.
Wears a ruskie hat all the time??
It was him who got run over outside the Oak whilst brandishing a tinfoil trophy. I also remember him chasing the Chelsea team coach towards the level crossing whilst shouting allsorts of abuse.....much merriment was given to all outside the pub.
A particular hi-light for me was his carry-on at Bradford a few years back. We went 2-0 down and he went absolutely mental. Screaming "c*nt, c*nt, c*nt" over and over. He then kicked the crap out of the seat infront of him. A bloke asked him to calm down to which he screamed "all Charlton fans are c*nts" he then burst into tears and ran out of the away end.
I have a vague recollection of him going in the wrong end at QPR a few years ago as well. He roused a chorus of "nik nak, give us wave".
My wife had told me that he was working for Red as a driving instructor. God help anyone having lessons with him.
He isn't very good with people. he was on my plane on the way to Ireland and was in the same hotel at Bray. He turned up in the pub afterwards and was greeted with chants of "the planes, the planes". He left very promptly.
Fellow Charlton fans and all that so maybe keep it nice.
If Seb Erde is his name then I guess that fits nicely into the Red Army chant!?!
I wonder if we could get him on tv?
I couldn't care less if he's not the full ticket - just wondered if he is known or, better still, on here!!
Where has anyone taken the piss out of him for whatever might be wrong with him? Comments because he looks like a character from a 70s tv show should hardly bring out those sort of accussations.
If you think telling people what the bloke has actually done can be construed as bullying then there really is no hope for us.
I remember a pre-season friendly down at Plymouth. They were sitting together, then one went to the block on the left on his own, and the other to the block on the right on his own, and they started chanting Red Army to each other. Kept it going for ages !
Ps. its not the surname GH said, and personally i think its best to keep people's full names off here in that respect.
Olly is a really nice lad who is commited to Charlton,I don't know Seb as well and they sometimes take different routes due to the fact they like different cities ,pubs and different types of Beer. At Hartlepool I think Seb went via Newcastle whereas Olly travelled direct.
Talking of great Charlton fans I've not seen Dennis yet this season .
in my defence it's been a long day - but even so I feel I should slap myself
When I left school in 89 I was a fork lift driver in a warehouse in Charlton and our local was the Millionhare (AKA Dockers,Clancys)
Norman was the barman he pulled a mean pint but never play him at pool he would take your house!!!!
Charlton million %
I know Ollie always see him about the place, lovely man. I cant picture his brother tho.
;-)
Dennis (Burgess?)
His mate who looked like one of the Marx Bros.
The bloke with grey beard who came away games on his motorbike.
The two great big (portly) blokes who may have been brothers.
Vince (heard he won the raffle!) Sure he belted Dennis once and always used to refer to me as "Grass" or "Brentford"
Steve Dixon.
"The Man in Black" (always wore black leather strides)
"Dowman" (only a select few would recall him...including Richard Birch, Man in Black and Steve Dixon).
Mike...another motorbike man who was going to stand as a Conservative MP.
The fella who looked like an Italian who always wore a mac and a Charlton tie.
"Walthamstow Avenue" (George). He was the one who spotted Maurice Setters sitting on Wakefield station after a game at Huddersfield.
What a bunch we were.
