  • He needs counselling and help just to help find a steady career. Sporting Chance should help.

    After he comes out, of course...

    Going "on the lamb" almost guarantees gaol time...

    I think the standard of the Premiership has improved significantly since we were relegated in 2007 and even more so since Newton's career peaked.

    I simply don't believe that if he had been born 10-15 years later that he would have made it at that level with his abilities.

    Given that you picked me up on my English some time back, I have great pleasure in pointing out that there is no such thing as "Premiership"; try "Premier League" - Karma :-)
    Strictly speaking the Premiership name was only dropped in 2007, several years after Newton had left Charlton.

    However I appreciate the importance of karma so am willing to stand corrected despite the above caveat :-)

    Elliott omozusi was convicted of intimidating a witness in a murder trial and sentenced to two and a half years in prison

    I think I must have been about 10 whenever he scored that header - felt like it was from the half way line at the time.

    Was it against West Brom ? Anyone know the year ?

    I think it was his first, thinking tranmere? Maybe wolves?
    I thought it was Tranmere but it may have been Huddersfield

    We've got a few players that are stealing a living now - for a start a player who has been out injured for a year and gone missing by all accounts and another who has recently returned to us less fit than when he left us. It's just that they've been given the "all clear" by the regime to commit the crime, especially in the former's case as they may have been contributors to his demise.

    End of the day, him, Rufus, Jonesy, the lot of them, they all gave me some of the best sporting memories of my life.

    Under this Belgian **** I'm not sure I'll see the likes again.

    Whatever they have or haven't done, if any of them ever check in here I'd like them to know they were my heroes. Even if life has taken any one of them down a dodgy path. You boys were the CAFC that the chant states I am until I die. Not the current bellends...

    Yes it means help in jail. Making sure he isn't going out to re-offend.

    Really sad to read, was one of,my favourite players,from that era



    He used to really run at players.





    Me too cracking goal against Ipswich in the play off at the Valley and always remember one night game when he was like sh*t off a shovel against Notts County? who we smashed about 5-1. His full back looked like he was running in treacle every time Newts switched the after burners on :smiley: .



    Fantastic memory


    13 Nov 1993 Charlton Athletic v Notts County W 5-1 League Division 1

    Charlton Ath: Mike Salmon, Darren Pitcher, Scott Minto, Peter Garland, Phil Chapple, Alan McAleary, Stuart Balmer, Kim Grant, Carl Leaburn, Garry Nelson, Colin Walsh. Subs: Shaun Newton for Peter Garland & Dennis Bailey for Kim Grant

    Charlton Ath goalscorers: Garry Nelson 2, Carl Leaburn, Shaun Newton & Colin Walsh.

    Half time score: Charlton Ath 1 Notts Co 1


    Night game? Took them apart?

    The Notts county game was a Saturday. Kim Grant missed an absolute sitter.

    The evening game was the 5-0 v West Brom

    Sheku Kamara. Was a youth player before signing for Watford (didn't make apps for them), went to the same school as me (he really was a c*nt). Ended up robbing people and demanding pin numbers with a bunch of lads with an air pistol that looked like a proper gun. He got 8 years...

    Justice for when he decided to go into my cricket bag when I was like 12 and steal a Capri sun while I was playing cricket.

    Not saying that I really have any sympathy for a lot of them, but it really really would kill me inside if I was a fantastic footballer whose career ended, or even ended just after big money became a thing in football... I would be completely gutted that were I born a few years later I would be worth an absolute fortune.

    Can you think of any other job that has had such a huge wage inflation? Serious question (some jokes allowed though!)

    No.....there money has shot up a ridiculous amount, maybe wrong but I always thought Newton was a very religious man.

    Oi @SE9 when you get to my age you're allowed a bit of leeway. And thanks to Ricky Otto for clarifying. At least both the opposition wore dark stripes and in October the floodlights may have been on second half, the fact that they were 5 years apart is a minor detail.

    Actually you have noticed I wasn't sure of the actual gameI so hands up, I had a look on google and plumped for the wrong one. I would have been at both though on my season ticket :blush:

    This is so sad.
    It's unbelievably thin that line between keeping your nut down to become a successful footballer & being swept up in the murky world of drugs & crime.
    And it doesn't get any easier once you finish your footballing career.
    Seen it all too often.
    Give it up Newts & get help fella xx

    really ?!?!

    Except of course you used "Premiership" in the present , not past tense !

    I was in a packed pub in the West End full of Plymouth fans, who had just won the playoff final in the late nineties, singing "Ronnie, Ronnie Mauge" to the Rupert The Bear theme - I didn't realise you had to pronounce his second name with a French accent (it scans with the Rupert the Bear theme if you do).

    Nothing to do with footballers that comit crimes, it's just it's Friday afternoon at work, I've got my eye on the clock in weekend mode and if I type something into the computer it looks like I'm working.



    edit: and to make a pointless post even worse, I notice that I didn't even quote the previous post discussing Ronnie Mauge

    Used to love Newts. His volley up at Anfield was my favourite of his goals, but the greatest spectacle was when he was charging down the wing. Probably the fastest player I have seen for us, close run thing with him, Rommedahl, and Danny Haynes.

    Was a reasonable stand-in full back too. Can't remember which game it was but there was one occasion when he lost the ball up field near their area, their fullback gave the ball to their winger who was on the halfway line and then proceeded to run forwards with the ball. Newt's made up 20 or 30 yards on him, took the ball off him and started off up towards their end of the pitch again all before their winger had made it as far as the edge of our area.
