    17. Contrary to popular belief, Robert Lee never actually operated a turnstile at The Valley. Instead for one season he worked in The Valley Club on matchdays where he fulfilled a number of different roles, including collecting glasses, serving at the jump, doing the books and working the door - often all at the same time. In recognition of his efforts the VC regulars could often be heard singing, "He's here, he's there, he's every-f**kin-where, Robert Lee, Robert Lee".

    27. As a committed member of the Charlton team and it's surrounding community, and because he was always game for a bit of a laugh where his appearance and image was concerned, Jerome Thomas stepped in to don the "Floyd" bulldog costume at two different home games at very short notice when the normal incumbent was struck down with illness. He was, in fact, all set to do it for a third time until - just as he was putting on the head - his agent told him that as he didn't yet have his Equity card he could be putting his planned bigtime Hollywood acting career in jeopardy.

    Marcus Bent jumped at the opportunity to don the suit and chuck out sweets to the kids on that particular occassion.

    30. No matter who was in the first XI, Jerome Thomas was always the last player in the line as they walked out of the tunnel, due to his unique ritual of putting his boots on before his socks before the game, only to then rearrange them every time. This is due to the fact that the first time he made this mistake, he scored his first goal for CAFC in a 3-2 win away to Spurs

    31. Phil Parkinson is due to marry the sister of the mother of his lovechild, and he has just found out that his fiancée was the victim of an abusive father who used to rape her when she was a little girl... but he's dead now, killed by a bust of queen victoria... the main suspect for this is Parkinson's nephew... who fell off a roof and died, while being chased by police. Parkinson is hoping he will recover from partial paralysis in time for the wedding, after having been shot in the head by a gangsta-wannabe chavette, who was aiming for Parky’s other nephew.
