Sir Maurice Hatter - worth £30m.

Not much in today's money of course but I'll be honest and say I didnt know about this guy. Made his fortune from IMO Precision Controls, an electronics company.

    President of the Club no less.

    Funny as Sir Maurice has been on the board for years but has only just made the rich list. Someone's research maybe not as good as it could be perhaps.

    Lovely guy and one of the PLC directors who put some more money in during the summer for the bond.

    It says he only joined the Board in August 2007 in the report!

    Shoddy research indeed.

    I sat on the table next to his at Curbishley's testimonial lunch. His table were bidding thousands for the stuff that was coming up in the auction and us lot barely had enough to stick in a tenner a man for the raffle.

    Until that is one of our chaps won the "heads or tails" game - for those that were there - and we shared the £500 jackpot out amongst us!

    He was Life President long before then.

    And the Sunday Times Rich list had him down as being worth £40m but what's £10m between friends ; - )

    It says here he owns Andrew Sykes Air conditioning, is that the same company that sponsored us and we're Charlton fans?

    Yeah it is, Paul Wood was the Managing Director and was a Charlton fan, he sadly passed away last year. He was the connection to the club, their head office is in Charlton.

    Thanks, I thought it was strange that the owner was Leeds based.
