Really great to see after the levels they have played at, they are still happy to turn out, they must have a real love for the game
This will come as a shock to you JohnnyH2 and Shirty5 but Bowyers dad used the trains with us back in the 90s you could have been sitting next to him on your trips north.Off the top of my head Port Vale away was his first game for Charlton away from the valley was meant to be sub but played full match. As for Neil Ruddock he Always called me Charlton when we met up in The Hare and Hounds down on the A2,was with him when he got the call from Liverpool.
No shock to me mate, I was on that train trip! You are spot on that it was Port Vale that Dave came to
Hopeful cross aimed at tubby dwarf goalie and big lumbering centre back headed in from a yard
Just spotted Peter garland warming up....could be about to enter the field of play.
Wow...how big is big, fat Pete these days?
Pete = A unit.
He came on 30 secs ago - ran across the pitch and is blowing.
Comedy just in front of me. Geezer misjudged a bounce, got mugged by the winger and pulled his calf muscle so gave away a free kick. Couldn't get 10 yards so the defender took the free kick, smashed it at Geezer who got booked and then subbed. He'd only been on 5 mins
I once saw Peter Garland in the Chinese take-away at Blackfen on a Sunday night, just after the Woodman had chucked us out.
Nice bloke actually, and as he walked away with the biggest bag of take-away I have ever seen, he looked back at us and said "You won't say that you have seen me in here will you?!".
Ah Big Pete....that goal against Bolton. A proper thumper.
My first game at the valley. We were outplayed and won 3-0. Fatty with a 30 yard screamer as I recall. East stand was just at the foundations stage of construction. Happy days.

Bowyer occasionally plays as does Razor Ruddock.
I'm going along just for the giggles. Be interesting to see the standard
Bullard at centre half and playing at about 10% capacity I think. Likely to push up in 2nd half when the other team tire.
One bell losing 1-0

I love this game
Fuck me - Peter garland just outpaced the centre half.
Bullard has pace to burn so is an awesome centre back at this level.

I think he was gone by the end of the season!
