Richard Rufus is back on the payroll

Terry Naylor

with Charlton!!

Went to a meeting tonight at the Valley for info on the U9s up and coming season when Richard Rufus walks in! Later in the meeting we were told that Richard is going to be the new U10 coach! Fingers crossed Alfie is still there next season The legend himself could be coaching my son???

That would be better than getting guitar lessons off Jimi Hendrix.

Didn't some clown.make up claim he had done the knowledge

Good luck to the Ruuuuuf

Cardinal Sin

I'll bet he's doing this on a voluntary basis (knowing Richard and knowing the finances in SE7).

Could still be working as a cabbie and coaching the U10s two or three nights a week and at the weekends. In fact it would fit together very well.

Good to see, it would have been a shame to see his knowledge go to waste.

It'll definitely come in handy when they're away to another London side.

Curbs' old goalie coach was a cabbie.

Welcome back RR

Best news so far this summer

The Red Robin

Absolute Charlton legend and possibly Jorge Costa aside, the best centre half I've ever seen at our club.

I think we could do with Rufus coaching our 1st team back 4 at the moment!

Presumably then he's qualified to both coach them and drive them to away matches.

I love Rufus. My fave all time player. Would love that he is involved somewhere with us

Terry Naylor

Ill tell you what I should be seeing him tonight (trains on the next pitch from the U9s) ill ask him....lol

nth_london_addick

I got told by his cousin some years back that he was a preacher. I'd imagine a cabbie is better paid..
But definitely welcome back Rufus!

Very good.

northstandsteve

why the hell would somebody who played in the premiership era earning premiership wages need to do the knowledge ? Can't get my head around it, one premiership 3 year contract should see you set up for life.

He blew the whole lot on Bibles and AtoZs.

He is/was a pastor at an evangelical church.

The money in the Premiership 10-15 years ago was MUCH different to what it is now, especially for Charlton. Probably the equivalent of what a Championship player makes, maybe less.

Haha - he didn't say where!

Covered End

Brilliant. Perhaps he'll be working with Paul Elliot to help the kids see how partnerships develop ? .....

Well I know Lisbie was on £8k a week, thats 1/2 million a year before tax still a lot of money and I would imagine the ruf was on more

nth_london_addick

Any prem footballer for that many seasons has to be a millionaire I remember robbie blake signed a contract that was worth 3.5 mil over a 3 year period

I think it was for derby or bradford that was around the time we went up I think for the second time

And he was pony

the rack mustve been on that or more surely

It's not about how much you earn though, it's about what you do with it. That said, I would imagine - and hope - that someone like Rufus was a bit more sensible with it then the likes of, say, Steve Claridge !
