Chris the guy with a heart of gold .Spent many a match with him and his wife ,really was one off the old school.Glad to have been one off the younger ones on the away travel with him in the early 70s always was safe with Chris by your side,a very sad lose indeed.Standing in the Holt End with him with red and white colours singing Charlton songs while Villa played Sheff UTD IN A CUP TIE when the Port Vale game was called off will always stay with me.
Rest in peace Chris and much strength to your family,glad to have stood with you in The Covered End.
Thank you all so much for your comments. Me and my mum are overwhelmed with how many people remember him. I have loved reading all your stories and its brought some lovely memories back to my mum. We will be bringing dad back to the valley very soon. I will post on here when just incase some of you would like to be there. Thank you all agin and im sure my dad is smiling where ever he is :) xxx

Same here, the name certainly rings a bell, but just can't place him at the moment.
Go to search page and write in.......... Charlton on tour Tunisian Tournament 1975.........3 pictures appear press middle picture........Chris appears front row sitting first person on left....hat and sunglasses on .....
Rummaging through a box of old photos, I've come across a team picture of LAC Rovers FC, taken in May 1974.
Chris Slattery is in the lineup.
My scanner is well and truly defunct, so I've taken a photo of the photo. A little loss of definition but Chris is very recognisable, along with everyone else.
Trouble is, I can't remember how to post a pic on CL. Duh!
Anyone kind enough to remind me how to do it ..... or if all else fails, could somebody who does know how to do it whisper me their email address?
Okay, here's the LAC Rovers FC team pic from May 1974.
Chris Slattery is back row, 3rd from left. Now you old'uns will recognise him!
Might as well name and shame the rest of the line-up .....(!)
Back row (l to r):
A dapper looking Les Turner (injured keeper), Alan "Mauler" Mason, Chris Slattery (capt), Keith Bratton,
Derek Freeman, Nick Smith, John Ingram (keeper), David "Jamie" Jamieson, Trevor Ellis;
Front row:
Nigel?, John Hall, Stuart Banks, the Oggster himself, Tony "Bones" Slattery (Chris' brother), John?
CL posters Eltham Addick and Charlton Carl might just recognise their Dads !!
Sad to hear this. Remember Notts County away in the 70s, just before Christmas. Was in the Cattle Market bar and someone nicked the charity collecting tin off the bar. Chris and Keith Bratton arranged a whip round amongst supporters and probably ended up with more than was in the tin in the first place. Also remember several scrapes including being ambushed in a pub at Bristol City. Many memories.

It's large as life on my screen - I was feeling so pleased that I'd actually managed to post it.
Whisper me your email address - and I'll send it you direct
Didnt they go onto play for Union 97 ?
If so, I need a Plan B !!
Whisper me your email address - and I'll send you the pic direct to your inbox.
Danny, what did your Dad say when he saw it?
