sorry to see him leaving.

Lovely guy and I wish him well in the future.

No doubt his exit will spark much speculation but for now would just like to say thanks Biffo.

    One of those faceless individuals that has beavered away behind the scenes over the years with invaluable input.
    I, along with 95% of Addicks(I asume), wouldn't know him if he came up and said hello.
    Having said that good luck in the future Nigel...........oh yes, forgot to mention...what an unfortunate name!

    I was trying to build up courage to ask about the 3 at the top but someone got in there before me (what is that poster's name on here)?

    Oh no, that’s terribly sad news. Was thinking about him recently after @Suthers posted that caricature of the SMT.  Rip Nigel. Gone to sign a pile of cheques in the sky.

    Oh no, that's so sad, wouldn't often enjoy a pint with him when Floyd's was called Floyd's, great company and one very clever man. RIP

    The museum is very grateful to Irene Capelin for donating the framed shirt donated to her late husband in 2006/7

    Thanks to @AddicksAddict @Fumbluff and @Suthers for helping to get the shirt to the museum

    All of the then 18 or directors at the time got a similar framed shirt at the beginning of the season.

    So did manager Iain Dowie. His framed shirt is already prominently displayed in the museum toilets.
