Old Voice

edited August 2007 in General Charlton
Just flicked through No.45, letters page:

Haven't Steve and Alan figured it out yet ? We still need a striker. Our forwards couldn't score against a Diadora League outfit. So what i recommend is sell Scott Minto for £1m and buy Steve Portway from Gravesend and David Leworthy from Dover, then bring in Derek Hales as coach.

So come on Steve and Alan, what have you got to lose ? Portway and Leworthy are players for the future and future England strikers.

  • Ackworth used to have me in stitches. Where is he now?
  • I saw him last week, and he looks even more of a freak now
  • You couldn't make it up : - )
  • That is from Nov 93, and there is also a pic of Vince at Brescia, looking about, well 40.....
  • Good ol Bonkathon Backworth from Cupsid in Kent :)

    Arsey letter defending the supporters director role, the inability of the role holder to tell people what is going on. and the decline of Voice to a 'bitter magazine'.

  • In fact, great stuff between Henry and the Rickster !!

    We miss all these mini battles within the Charlton community. I'm off now to write a scathing piece on Inspector Sands.... :-)

    That must have been before I sold out and started writing for VOTV. Or maybe not :- )

    You should come to the Target 40,000 meetings. Nothing's changed.
  • I have about 100 copies of VOTV that I was gonna send to New York Addick until his missus threw a wobbler still got them all boxed up looking for a new home.

  • Me, Me, Ketman!
  • I have copies of Goodbye Horse and one of the letters in there is from a bloke who bought the team suggested by Ackworth on a version of Football Manager - anyway, this team ended up in the old 4th division quite quickly!
  • I bet there is a letter from Large slagging off Leeeaaaburrrnnn.

    Absolute guarantee every month :)

    Does that mean I can dust off my anti-AFKA post? Excellent!

  • God, just found out he lives round the corner from me.

    Where do you live? Heaven?
  • Rest assured nobody has as many old copies of VOTV as I do . . .
  • Shouldn't have had so many printed then.

    I've got an old copy of 'Library News' if you're interested Airman?

  • LOL - Anyone remember the picture of him printed in the voice? Never sure whether it actually was him or just the editorial staff taking the piss - he looked a right muppet. The Voice pretty much sums up why I love this club - although a lot of teams' fanzines are pretty funny, none of them were ever as good as VOTV IMNSHO. I was devastated when it finished - though I enjoyed GBH as well it was much more like a 'real' fanzine - it just didn't have the 'feel' of the voice

    No, that really was him. It was a good fanzine but of its time.

    Are you waiting for the price to go up again : - )
  • I remeber being on the train to Derby away when they started selling the first edition.In my opinion the birth of VOTV was instrumental in us getting back to the valley.
  • In my opinion it was instrumental in the introduction of 3 ply toilet paper.

    VOTV was only slightly better than that Izal stuff you used to get at school. ;-)

    Izal....? Izal McLeod?
  • Can't believe that his name actually is pronounced like the toilet paper...but seems to be if the commentators have got it right.
  • Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be s...
    Ducks.
  • "I've got an old copy of 'Library News' if you're interested Airman?"

    With that I'm impressed!

    Henry is absolutely right that the Voice was for its time. With hindsight I should probably have stopped it in 1998, but it was great fun while it lasted.
