He was a good footballer who, like most of us, was more concerned with his, and his family's well being than that of his employer and it's customers.
Deliberately getting himself banned for Christmas was a little unprofessional, but based on what was happening behind the scenes it is not terribly surprising.
If he wasn't the main joker in the changing room then so be it. As far as I'm concerned he made a significant, and positive, contribution in almost every game he played for us, and that was, after all, what he was paid to do.

There was a thread a couple of years back where i met him and the guy used to be my favorite player back in the days he played
I don't doubt it NLA, he is clearly not totally focused on fans opinion, something that I fear is quite insincere in many that we would behave differently.
I remember a drunk Darren Pitcher abusing me and another fan (and our girlfriends), after the Player of the Year awards back in the 90s. He was a very unpleasant man, but he did deliver on the pitch. He, like Mills, 'forced' a transfer, but he did go on to earn a lot more money, and I think we have to accept that these young men don't want to stay with us when there is much more for them elsewhere.
The threads about what we fans would do if our employers restricted our earning ability are plentiful and repetitive, but I took the view (Iike you have now clearly have) that players should be watched on the pitch and avoided at all other times.

Difference being if most of us had that attitude to our employer and his customers, we would be out on our ear with no reference and be looking at another career. Deliberately getting himself banned for Christmas was utterly unprofessional and if you find it unsurprising KHA, remind me never to give you a job... LOL
Does he even count as a celebrity? How many people (apart from Charlton fans and die-hard football fans) would actually recognise him? He has no personality and nothing to offer aside from football as far as I can make out.

My comment about his employer was related to moving for a massive payrise when your employer really wanted you to stay and work for much less than you are worth (all be it to someone else). I doubt that many Charlton fans would agree to stay in their current job if they were offered close to ten times as much elsewhere.

Just saying, like...
