Been a while since I was on here. I am tryin to locate the former Charlton defender, Simon Webster, does anyone know the whereabouts of him or where I can locate him? Does he post on here or anythinng?
Close to the best captain, best leader we have ever had. I reckon he is a top top bloke too. BTW had him at 40-1 once as first scorer (think it was against Brizzle City at Upton Park), got to the 80th min at 0-0, along comes Webbo, whoooosh 1-0 happy days.

He scored a cracking late winner at Swindon too that season, a rocket free-kick from around 25 yards.
I am sure that the goal you are talking about was a volley from the edge of the box, in front of the North Bank at Upton Park.

February 1992 I believe. My first Addick had just been born the day before, if I'm correct. I definitely remember visiting the wife in hospital, dead chuffed with Webster's goal :-)

Nice Post Seth, Memories Coming Back Now. Was actually in the 93rd Minute in a 2-1 Win. Fantastic Centre-Back & Captain. Remember him heading a ball at less than Knee Height just to clear the Danger & sod the consequences to his boat. Magnificant
Forget the game (away I think) but he had taken a booking but we were leading and late on the striker got clean through on goal before Webbo snaked out a leg risking a cast iron red but won the ball to rescue us. Few players braver than Webbo have worn the red shirt in my time watching Charlton. Led the team out on the first game back at The Valley too.

And Aizlewood was playing for Bristol City - even sweeter!
Co-incidentally, a two-page interview with Webster can be found in Monday's Valley Review as part of the Yesterday's Hero series, while the Charlton Live team also interviewed him earlier this season.

Looking back Webster was another player who had a shaky start to life at Charlton, for the first half of the 90/91 season at Selhurst he (like most of the team bar Robert Lee) was average and looked nothing great but in the second half of the season he improved and by 1991/92 (first season at Upton Park) he was outstanding.
Seen him more than once at the Valley this season by the hospitality entrance next to the east stand turnstiles. Just assumed he was doing the hospitality gig on matchdays. Lovely bloke who aways has time for addicks.
Inspirational captain and an excellent defender. It was "all for one and one for all" when Webbo was leading the team. Such a shame that his career was ruined by a tackle from his new team mate Julian Dicks in training, shortly after joining the Hammers. I think he could have gone a long way in the game.
Great captain and a great bloke. Remember him in The Oak after the first match back at The Valley, stood on a table singing an anti-Millwall song. Bought everyone in the pub a drink too...
was one of the first players i can remember that i was truely gutted for when he left, didnt he fook his knee playing for wet spam in training against julian dicks

Don't rememeber it being anti millwall but he certainly led many of his team mates & ex charlton players & however many fans had managed to get in (it was a private do I think) in singing Charlton songs. Top bloke totally commited to the cause on & off the pitch !
One skipper webbo these only one skipper webbo. He was great what a leader he was the sort of character we have missed in recent times. The goal against bristol city was a true rocket one of them times we were at the back of the north bank and ended up near the front. We probably only past about 50 people during that surge lol those were the days.
Saw him a couple of times, in the gym at The Valley, that prick Dicks made a right old mess of his leg.
To be fair, I think his leg was in a right old mess anyway. Am sure he broke it badly before he joined us (when he played for Huddersfield?) and it was badly scared long before Dicks got anywhere near it.

Yes, that's right, he had a really bad leg break at Huddersfield, I think that is why he started so slowly when he came to us.

No he doesn't post on here but he's a qualified physiotherapist.
Last I heard he was working for The NHS at Beckenham Cottage Hospital...but that was a good few years back.

@Off_it Simon works for Nuffield Health and recently returned to do some work with the women's set-up at the community trust.
