Who is he going to support?

in General Charlton
This kid has been on a wall in my flat for the last decade. And in my bedroom for years before in original poster form. But until today I've never asked, who is this guy?

And more pertinently, does he still support Charlton?

    They could never find out who he was/is at the time.

    He looks like he might have gone on to Hollywood success with a part in Coneheads.

    Would be great to find out the story if possible. A poster many will never forget.

    Had a red one. Think I might have given it to henners a couple of years back with some tops, if so he might still have it for a price?

    If not, it'll be knocking around somewhere at home. If I find it, you can have it..............

    Am really surprised the Celtic/Gers Ski Hats haven't been re-issued.

    I've got the Charlton Brazil one. Its in a box at my mums. Pretty sure I have a Charlton Wembley one from the Full Members Cup. Definitely have a Torquay Wembley one from their Freight Rover final against Bolton.

    That we never found the boy, is my only small regret from this whole wonderful few months. We had no money for the creative ideas (we already had the best agency in the country working on the ideas for free). So we had to use stock photography, but inevitably such photographs depicted the past. We needed an image about the future. The VP had a pro photographer, Andy Solomon, in the team. (he was the guy whom Simon Oelman attempted to attack after the election count- heaven knows why, Andy was a nice, mild mannered bloke who just happened to be good with a camera). So we asked him to take photos of the crowd at the Charlton - Arsenal game at Selhurst, and chose this kid from his resulting collection. The advice we had was that it was not illegal to use him without permission, but we much preferred to get that permission. But despite requests in - I think - the Voice, and maybe the programme too, nobody came forward.

    I often think about him, and why he, or rather his parents, never came forward. It would be fantastic to think - and show - that he is now a season ticket holder who brings his own son to the Valley. My best guess is that he was one of the few casual fans we picked up at Selhurst - it was a big game that night. But he was dressed in all the gear - so it is also possible that he's just part of a modest family that doesn't want any fuss, but is just glad their football club is still alive.

    Probably of some Brazilian beauty in a bikini jiggling around while the drums played a samba beat.

    Thanks for that Prague. I kinda like the mystery side of it, but it would be great to do a 'where are they now' piece on him.
