after the recent Darren Bent sightings, where have you seen Charlton players ?
Once had a beer with Colin Walsh in the Camden in Bexleyheath. Had a nice chat, then he panicked half way through and i had to get my work pass out to prove i wasn't a journo !

Saw Danny Murphy in his Porsche at the lights at New Eltham / Avery Hill
Mark Feeeeeeeeeesh and Claus Jensen in the Cafe Rouge in Chislehurst
Any anecdotes ?
...and Johnny Robinson in Paradox nightclub in Brighton
More recently saw Stephan Anderssen and Dennis Rommedahl at Valencia airport. I was gonna tell Romm what a shite game he had, but ended up having my picture taken with them (lost my bottle, a bit like Romm does when going in for a challenge).
Has anyone ever had the bottle to tell a player that they were pony?
I also let Feesh out of Old Road in Chislehurst once a few years back when I was in a jam travelling towards the lights at Royal Parade.
Had a few drinks with Paddy Powell and Mike Flanagan at Margate FC a few years back. Paddy was assistant manager and got Flash in as a player. He was 40 odd but still had the class.
Saw Eddie Youds in a pub in Blackheath, slighly ahem, well oiled.
I told John Robinson at a Supporters Club do in Hastings once.
I also had swallowed my pride the following year to go up to him to tell him how pleased I was he proved me wrong.
He took both comments will grace.
I remember my Dad 'phoning me at work to ask me where this new wonder player we got had come from as a pantechnican from Barcelona was parked outside the house and he couldn't get his car out. Needless to say I rushed home with the utmost speed!
Possibly the most overrated, unhealthy tat you are ever likely to come across.
Liar...Murphy has a BMW X5
I played cricket against Les Berry round about the same time. He wasn't a bad bat.
Anyway, the next day i was off shift (used to do week on, week off) Me and Mrs 04 were walking around Bluewater, when suddenly who do we see, Yes Deano walking with his Mrs! Obviously (again for those who no my Mrs) she is loud and Ginger, when deano clocked her, you should of seen the look on his boat! He must of thought 'oh no, its that ginger physco from BMW yesterday. He gave me a smile and it was funny, although you may of had to be there to appreciate the comedy element!
Also I saw JJ in the same BMW. Skinny little runt he was, couldnt believe how impish he was. His upper arms were like mine lol
A few people I know have seen Deano shopping with his missus at Bluewater at various times. He must have been round there all the time!
Blimey, you must be a big bloke!
Bumped into Lennie Lawrence a few times on a train up to Victoria (when he was manager of Luton).
I had tickets to an Arsenal game once (non-CAFC) and had to go the ticket office or similar and found myself queuing up behind Steve Gritt, and had a brief chat with him.
I once cut up Terry Venables when he was England manager near Heathrow Airport, I took a wrong turning near the long term car park and had to do an illegal U turn to get back on the right road. As I was in mid-manouevre, he drove up, slowed to a halt, tutted, shook his head at my poor driving and then drove off.
I've played cricket with John Salako, but that was before he was even a Palace player, at that time he would have 13/14 and was playing for Westerham 1sts as an opening bat. This was North West Kent league, a step down from Kent League but I reckon he could have made it as a cricketer, a short while after he signed school boy terms with CP and they told him to quit the cricket and he did.
Not Charlton, but seen Rio Ferdinand in Bella something up in Blackheath....giving Mrs CC the eye he was - I was going to have a word.
