I recognise the guy in the denim jacket, but cant remember his name
Martin ‘Woody’ Wood
Rings a bell, not seen him for years, anyone know if he still goes?
I'm pretty sure I saw him in Belgium for the protest but as a shit drinker and their strong lager it was all a bit hazey for me
Yes, he was definitely in Belgium as I spoke to him. He lives in Kent now, possibly Whitstable and IIRC (probably don't) he doesn't come to many games these days.
My biggest regret was going to the England game instead of Italy, I left the groups match tickets in a bar, they were still there an hour later but, in going back to them I got chased all about Rotterdam. Found my way back to the England fans near to the railway station just in time to be baton charged and CS gassed.
Eventually got to the ground but was soon hit by a flying tyre lever chucked into our corner and then lost to a dubious goal. Did I not like that!
We were kept in for what seemed like hours, subjected to hardcore techno just to calm us all down whilst everyone about me planned to wreck Dublin the following week.
Classic 80s/90s England away trip!
Been to a few overseas pre season trips but would give anything to follow Charlton in Europe just once before I pop my clogs

Met up with my mate who'd stayed in Amsterdam the day before the match and he'd brought some industrial strength grass with him.
Couldn't even get up off my seat when they finally let us out after the game.
I was on the coach,but my ugly mug isn't in any of those photo's.I remember the journey home and being held up at the ferry port.Lot's of other memories from that trip too.:)

I can’t get enough of your away days in the early 90s.

think we were held up because England had played somewhere in Europe that night and there had been trouble. Remember getting back to Bexleyheath about 8am.
I was sat next to Chris B on the coach....after too many Carlsberg Exports on the ferry I was sick somewhere between Calais and the mountains....waking up in the morning the poor woman sat in front of us found a mixture of peas and carrots in he shoe. Happy days haha
My mates in the picture (who doesn’t come on here) I was sitting next to him but not in the picture. Great trip and remember a few faces that I still see at Charlton but can’t remember names

Meanwhile, what we do have in the Museum
