Pretty sure he confirmed his retirement months ago.
Really hope he is given the big send off he deserves in his final game at The Valley.9 -
Thanks for all the memories skip. A true Charlton legend through some of our darkest times.6

Proper Legend, deserves to be Charlton manager one day.
There's only one no #4
Thanks Johnnie.0 -
Cue Jackson appreciation day announced by the club for Easter Monday.23

"really kick on and become the coach I want to be, I’ve got to fully immerse myself into it."
He's sounding like Robinson already.1 -
Such a shame his latter years have been clouded by the current ownership. He is a true Charlton man, through and through .31
-
great man and captain. proper gent and a real leader.
those goals against the steel city duo were special. and even in the dark times to have the balls to come out to the press and to the supporters when none of the fuckwits had the courage to show their faces, or they just hid behind his.
as long as he's ignored most of what robinson has ever said I would happily welcome him back at the Valley to manage the team.7 -
Proper Charlton man, deserves a really good send off. Hopefully a future manager .1

Him, yann and solly are the three I would have loved to have seen have a crack at the prem in a charlton shirt.RaplhMilne said:Such a shame his latter years have been clouded by the current ownership. He is a true Charlton man, through and through .

Captain fantastic.
I guess his legs have gone and he feels that he can't do the hard yards anymore. The one redeeming light in the darkness of the Duchatelet era. The conduit to the fans who tried to stop the club from imploding amidst the rancour and venom in the valley air.
Good longevity JJ for the 242 games and 51 goals for Cafc and a career of 446 games and 70 goals from 1999-2018.
Thanks for the memories,
Captain fantastic.3 -
Hope he gets a decent crowd for his final game and the players put a shift in.2
-
Love the man - he can truly be described as proper Charlton.
I wish him every success as a coach/manager and would love to see him manage Charlton one day.
Johnnie, oh Johnnie Jackson runs down the wing for me!!!!7 -
Big thanks for all his efforts - in another era, he would have enjoyed some real success, but under this regime, he was just another player swimming against the current.
Echo the idea that the club suddenly decide easter monday would be the ideal game to give him a send off, but if they want to invite m. duchatalet over to present him with an award, that might be exciting :-)0 -
don't forget he also bought the whole train beers after the Exeter game2
-
Bloody love Johnnie Jackson, that goal v QPR, the freekicks, proper captain.
Just a shame he was involved in the Roland era, deserved better than to be wheeled out as a human shield by the regime12 -
I put this on the other thread, but thought I'd add it here too
'worth going to the Blackburn game just to watch him lead us out one more time and give him the ovation he deserves.
right up there in my book as one of our greatest servants'9 -
Sad to see the end of his playing career, but hope he sticks around the club to develop as a coach - manager change or not.
Thanks skipper!0 -
Great Captain & seems to be a great bloke, surely has to be involved 1 way or another come the new ownership, might be he has already had a conversation or 2 and this is a way of getting the fans even more on his side - just saying

Good luck to JJ and thanks for all you've done for the Club.
On a more sobering note, this means, I believe, that of the 31 players who appeared for us in the season that Roland took over, only Solly and KAG will still be at the Club next season. And that makes the assumption that the former isn't forced to retire through injury and the latter, who is currently on loan, isn't sold.
Such are the times.0 -

It's amazing how his career really took off at such a late age. He only had a handful of goals to his name when he joined Charlton at the age of about 28.
Who would have thought when we brought in an aging left back on loan from Notts County that he would go on to score over 50 goals for us and be one of the greatest captains in our entire history?11 -
Proper Charlton man. Right up there with Kinsella as a club captain in my lifetime. Genuine Charlton legend.1
-
Absolute legend. Charlton should retire the number 4 shirt in his honour.0
-
Not surprised. His legs have gone.3

Good man, Good player, Hopefully a good coach/manager in future.
Been with us 8 years and I hope he's with us another 8 years in a coaching capacity, however the statement reads that he'll soon be on his way for me.
Since Parkinson signed him he has played for 12 managers at Charlton. *Including Parky. ** Also including caretaker managers Peacock, Matthew & Nugent.0 -
Actually pretty heartbreaking to think that is highly unlikely to be happening.9goalswentpastperry said:

It's time. Sad because he's been a great player and character for us through some very bad times (as well as the good ones), but he's clearly not the player he was and best to bow out while the good memories are still fresh.2
