You just know he would've loved today's game - he would've been going back through his records to find the last time we came from behind to win at home on Boxing Day!
The Charlton Athletic Museum are very happy to say that Colin's family have handed over his computer records to us for safe keeping and so that that can be made available to as many supporters as possible.
There are literally hundreds of documents and photographs but most importantly we have the draft versions of Home and Away and The Valiant 600 (CC's updated version of his original Valiant 500 which also lists non-first team players).
The plan, agreed and backed by his family, is to update and re-publish the two books when time and money makes it possible. Rick Everitt will take the lead on the two books as suggested by the family.
As Colin's niece Pauline Williams has said about the records "I'm quite sure that Colin would be delighted to see them being used".
Spent an afternoon just looking through the records yesterday and only scratched the surface.
We'll be tweeting some snippets and photos on @chathmuseum, our twitter account, over the coming weeks and months.
Does it state how the books come about.That is a story in its self.Colin Always enjoyed telling me that story and no matter how many times i was told it i had to laugh.Would loved to have seen Rodneys face .
Lovely man and as an annual tribute to him, we'll be presenting the Colin Cameron Lifetime Supporter Trophy to the winner at the POTY event on Sunday 1st May.
The man who knew all the facts about Charlton Athletic passed away five years ago today.
Colin would have had a field day with what has gone on at Charlton in the last five years.
Still miss our chats together ,thinking of you and your family on this day.
Spot on Lewis Coaches, lovely man who I only got to know in the last few years of his life.
Once he discovered I was a programme and memorabilia collector of all things Charlton he always went out of his way to get me a team sheet on match days.
Such a gentleman.........I, like many others, loved him to bits. One of our all time greatest fans who like me, thought Stuart Leary was our greatest all time player.

Very much missed.
The last match that Colin attended was against Peterbrough Utd tuesday 27th november 2012.
Charlton won this match 2-0.
Would be good to think it might get a mention at The Valley this boxing day.
Thinking of you. C and G
Much missed to this day, I dread to think what he would have thought about the current inexplicable shenanigans.
