    Rest in peace, he seemed like a lovely man and I remember chatting to him in the toilets at Accrington. He was taking a poster off the wall as a souvenir. It was a fond memory from an otherwise bad day of football, losing 2:1 against a team of giants!! But he was always there!! He must have been to a tonne of grounds watching the team we all love ❤️

    My best mate cradled him in his arms before the emergency services got there, no words can describe my grief, still crying now.
    This has got me, big time, look after your mate, and yourself

    Reckon there are many men who shared a pee and chat in an away toilet with Norm, I did at Southend in the cup, it’s when I introduced Headphones Norm to my son.🤷🏻‍♂️

    Just read every comment on here and could have been tempted to put a like on every one of them,

    I didn't know Norm...but I did know Norm, in the same way as just about every Addick who's been to an away game in the last 40 years.

    Such devastating news. 

    RIP Headphones Norm

    I know the medics who attended him this afternoon, I would like to assure his family, friends and everyone that he was given the best chance possible. The medics are top rate, and I know that if I was ill, they are certainly some of the medics I would like to attend to me. 
    The speed in which they responded was outstanding and they would have gone above and beyond to given him every hope of survival. Sadly when it’s out time, nothing else can be done.

    First met him in the 80's when we normally only took a couple of hundred fans to away games.

    RIP old friend

    Sounds we’ve lost a real one here. What a character and what a huge loss for the Charlton family. RIP Norm

    Thus has come as a real shock. I remember sitting next to him away at Blackburn when he had operation Ewood. 

    RIP. A true legend and for sure  'one of our own' 😪

    100%. CatJnr was off duty but went to help when we realised the severity.  I was shocked when he got back and told me (in confidence) who it was.  Everyone there did the best they could in the circumstances but sometimes their best is not quite enough.

    As my nickname might suggest, I'm very much a "Johnny Come Lately" with respect to committing to being an Addick, but I've lived in Woolwich for the best part of 30 years, having arrived not long after you all got the Valley back, and Steve Gritt and Alan Curbishley were in charge. I've always felt that this was a special club, and the responses in this thread really underline that. RIP Norman, you are obviously very well loved, and I suspect will not soon be forgotten.
