Yeah, he was alright so I'll be happy to give some polite applause. At least it'll be nice for someone to return and not to have the nagging expectation that they'll score.
Never rated him. Speaking to someone once who saw weaver in a pub, so the bloke started chatting to weaver about charlton, weaver told him that he didn't care about us and if we went down or not as long as he's getting his 20k every week. He'll just find another team he said. Yeah a real nice bloke saying that about our team. Oh yeah varney was with him to and they was both laughing about us. W####r.

Like many players, he struggled towards the end of the Pardew era. The Birmingham error was the type that tends to only happen when you are near the bottom and struggling.
However he was not too far off POTY in 2007/08, think he may have won Charlton players player of the year.
I just can't see Weaver saying that to a random bloke in the pub andthen Varney laughing at us at the same time.
I agree most players don't care who they play for, but shouting about it to random strangers seems a little weird to me. Then again, you are 100% sure so it must be true so thats fine.
I'm just saying what iv been told nolly,up to people to believe it. I believe it so I won't be cheering him sat. Oh yeah and I never rated him as well.
Just to balance of some of the unlikely tales told about Weaver in this thread - while he was with us a well known satellite broadcaster invited him on to do the summing up on a City game. He declined on the basis that he was a Charlton player and wasn't interested in talking about other sides regardless of the cash on offer.
Sadly he then let himself down by apparently going to the pub that night, injecting 9 pints of heroin into his eyeball and telling a group of lads that he got paid a million pounds a week and didn't care less about Charlton, as long as he got enough money to buy swan burgers that he had made out of the queen's swans. He was later seen wiping his arse on a Charlton flag in the car park, while other members of the first team danced around laughing and tugging at their naughty bits.

Decent goalkeeper and apparently a very decent bloke who never did the wrong thing whilst he was a CAFC player.

Suspect he was dropped for financial reasons - cleansheet bonus appearance fee.
Wont boo him. But wont clap him either.

Why anyone would boo him is a complete mystery.
