Oh that's horrible. I recall having a massive crush on him when I was a teenager, and can still picture listening to the Blackburn cup game and getting wildly overexcited when he scored. Gone far too young. RIP Darren.
Whatever the truth surrounding his departure from the Club it is indisputable that he was instrumental in creating one of if not the greatest Charlton FA Cup moments since I started supporting in 1963.
So very sad he was so young a tragic loss. One of my favourite Charlton memories was being at Ewood Park for the cup game when against all odds we beat the Champions thanks to Darren's goal!. RIP Darren my thoughts are with your family.
Steve Thompson @TommoTweets Just read the news about Darren Pitchers death. An apprentice when I was at. Charlton Athletic a great lad and good player. So young. RIP. ⚽️
I Must have been about 10/11 when he was breaking through and had the ‘Darren Ditcher’ article on my wall after his Blackburn goal. Always thought he was one of those players who made the most of his ability and gave 100% - loved a tackle.

"[Leaburn's] got the pace and the power. Finding Pitcher. A shot. And a goal... by Walsh. And it BECOMES the perfect start..."
Pitcher's greatest assist
