Having just turned 60 myself I can confirm 57 is far too young to be taken from us. RIP Craig and my thoughts go out to all your family in these very sad times.
I remember running into Craig at Charing Cross station on the morning of the play-off final against Sunderland. In his usual polite manner he said "Are you looking forward to it?" "For weeks" I replied "enjoy the day" "I don't want to enjoy it, I want to bloody win it" Craig look thoughtful for a second and said "You're right. Let's bloody win it"
I was at the same school as Craig but he was a few years above so I never spoke to him. Saw him again from time to time at Selhurst and the Valley. Such sad news.
My heart goes out to his son. I lost my Mum at 63 and I thought that was way too early. 57 - way way too young.
Didn't know him personally myself but he was a Charlton 'name' and from what I have read here and elsewhere he was a true, genuine Charlton fan who also served others.

RIP Craig. A true Addict who contributed much to the club.
A sad loss, far too young.
His last article for the voice was a brilliant and heartfelt piece of writing.
RIP Craig, as proper Charlton as it gets.
