Wedding in North London yesterday, guy at my table asked seriously that now Charlton are in the Championship, what Premiership team have i adopted !!!!
I was working up there had no idea that Celtic were staying there until I went into the hotel lobey Celtic players all over the show. I had my red CAFC Joma managers coat on got in the next lift with O'Neil and body guard he said 'i see your a charlton supporter hows things going' This was the time when the majority of us were getting bored with the Curbs style of play I mentioned this to him. 'He just replied dont get on Alans back.' I wished him good luck against Barca. Maybe he was right.
A guy with dreddies of about 30 outside the shops in north Avalon NSW, I had one of my Charlton shirts on..... Said hello mate, I used to watch Charlton play at Selhurst Park before my Dad moved out here to live. Still looks out for results but hasnt been back since he moved in the 90's. Also bumped into a QPR fan at Darling Harbour...we were both wearing the respective club shirts...had an interesting chat....he has been in Sydney since the 80's, never been back but still follows the club through thick and thin
A guy working in a chip shop in Coogee Bay, Sydney. He was a Gills fan who's Grandfather used to go to Charlton in the 40's.
Got searched going through the customs in Copenhagen years ago. He pullled my Charlton top out of the bag and said in a loud voice (a bit like the Swedish chef from the muppets) "Alan Simonsen!" Nice bloke but most of the conversation got lost in translation!
Late last year while playing Shootershill golf course, I shanked one into trees walked in to look for it and met Theo Foley looking for his ball, we a brief chat and carried and played our shots back onto the fairways (Honest, ask Luva Luva was there he`ll tell you) ;)
On holiday in Fishguard after the play off promotion. I bumped into a guy wearing an away Viglen shirt. We'd both had a few and agreed that 17th in the Prem would be a fantastic season!
Was attending my friends wedding on Mykonos in 1998 when I happened to notice a whole family wearing Charlton shirts walking around the town. It turned out they were at the wedding as well except they were on the bride's side of the family. Had a good old drink-up at the reception celebrating Charlton's 3-3 draw at Anfield.
in a lift in a Southampton hotel with Bryan Robson, Steve Bruce and Brian McClair. Thanked Brucie for the pen he gave away a couple of weeks before at Sellout in a 1-1 draw. He was none too pleased I brought that up !!
In Melbourne I saw a guy wearing a Charlton shirt and when I worked at Burger King I served a guy with a Charlton jacket, it turned out he was Stacy Long's dad!

On a similar theme the wrestler Big Daddy's real name was Shirley Crabtree.

Butlins Bogner.Went with a load of mates yonks ago.Was watching vidiprinter on grandstand in my luxurios chalet.Charlton went 3-1 down to Norwich ,i think, with about 5 mins left to play.kicked the electric fire and stormed out.Stayed out on the pi55 all night.Was in some seedy cocktail bar when who should i bump into?..........Tony Barness,Who had played in the game earlier!!
Had a bit of a drunken rant about the performance.He said he didn't think a point was too bad.Turns out we scored two at the death!
"Tone",i says,"The pina collada's are on me"
[cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]i nearly choked half my food across the table !
I am confused - so who is it then? Mine is Man U so I was really pleased with last nights result. I nearly picked Chelsea so it could have been very much different .........
In Topps Tiles in Edinburgh - I had a Charlton badge on my jacket, and the guy at the counter was one of the Dundee mob who used to turn up to watch us.

I had a chat with a portsmouth fan at the foot of the largest waterfall in Victoria last month..... used to have in depth with this liverpool fan who worked at a sandwich shop just of oxfiord street.... met a charlton fan outside of work in Melbourne a few months back....
and the best one was say a bloke in a charlton shirt on the gold coast in surfers paradise..... which is an unlikely place to see a charlton fan.... I gave him a "come on you addicks" as I walked past....
