''Over there and do they smell....like fucking hell''....a bit before my time but enjoyed watching that.Oggy Red said:I remember Peter Reeves' Mum and Dad used to travel to away games on the Lewis's coach.
I never met Peter himself - though I saw him play most weeks.
For those who never saw him play, there's plenty of footage on this Match of the Day video that Blucher posted yesterday:

That's great comparison, but Reevse was even harder!! One of my favourite players.LenGlover said:Great player for us and is he really 70? He started and finished so young.
For the benefit of the youngsters: Chris Solly at his best is probably the closest recent player we've had to Peter.

Probably the hardest man to put on the Charlton top. Wouldn't last 15 minutes in todays non contact game.
Think he now lives in Spain ...1 -
I could have sworn Reeves was the TANK but Graham Moore would have fitted the description too so I could be wrong.Lewis Coaches said:

But what a footballer. Never seem to remember him run anywhere, but for a big man he had a great first touch and his passing was outstanding.

I used to watch the team train down at The Valley (often on a cinder pitch) during the school holidays. I was there once when they were getting on a coach for an away game and were all suited and booted and i was very impressed i seem to remember with Peter Reeve's holdall with was, like him very smart.
Fondly remember the back five of Wright- Curtis -Went -Reeves -Kinsey.
Cant believe that he is 70 where have the years gone.1 -

Yeah, skipper Graham Moore was quite a unit.bc_addick said:

Reeves was quite slightly built for a central defender ..... but wiry and deceptively strong, quick and determined in the tackle.0 -
Great player for Charlton, unlike most here though, i wouldn't have said that he played at the back. My memories are of a tough tackling, man marking left half, in today's line up left midfield would say.3

Not really. He's best remembered playing alongside Paul Went, as the centre half pairing.alan3_durrant said:Great player for Charlton, unlike most here though, i wouldn't have said that he played at the back.

They complimented each other really well ..... Went (the big unit) attacking the 1st ball in the air, and Reeves sweeping up and winning tackles on the floor.
His man marking was something special - stuck to his man like glue and timed his moment to win the tackle or quickly intercept. His tackling was sharp and sometimes ferocious. They'd also be times when he'd look up to play the tidy simple pass on the floor to a midfielder's feet.
But he was a central defender and defending was his main strength.

I always remember this as the Reeves match as i am sure the linesman and referee were also callee Reeves!Lewis Coaches said:married the morning of QPR home game 3RD feb 3-3 draw.
When football was football and you needed a hard hat just in case Peter Reeves cleared the ball into the top half of the east terrance.
Could still be found in and around Charlton area when he worked for the gas board.
Charlton thru and thru one club man,still remember his second goal for Charlton 6-0 win over Swansea.0 -
Terrific committed player, who always gave his best. A bit small for a centre back but read the game well. Think he also played as a half back (I think that was what we called a defensive midfielder back in the day.) Shame a bad injury ruined his career. Would make it in out team today, that's for sure!0

Been thinking that myself lately! As you say, a great defensive line-up.superdulvertonred said:I used to watch the team train down at The Valley (often on a cinder pitch) during the school holidays.

Peter was overwhelmed with your messages and the card and video from the club. Thank you to all involved.5

Peter in his ‘cap’ 3 -
He absolutely "owned" Rodney Marsh every time we played QPR during that period....how he must have dreaded facing him. Was worth the entry fee just to watch those two go toe to toe. Marsh (QPR and media big time hero and poster boy), would do his pieces as Peter snuffed him out time after time using every trick in the book, many of which would have seen him red carded in this day and age.1
-
This was before the tackle from behind was banned. Reeves would take Marsh's legs first, followed by the ball. Loved the man and so sad that injury curtailed his career.1

Its a shame when a joke has to be explained but I thought it was very good but lets explain it to @Addick1956
February 2019 and July 2022 - I think there’s a pause in between.1 -

Yep, that’s it. Just a silly play on words basen on a famous old joke and adapted to a situation.
No victims, just silliness.Honestly, these millenials. No sense of humour. 😉5 -
I used to go to Henwick Primary School, Eltham when I was a kid. Peter Reeves' mum and dad used to live just around the corner from the school. On a Thursday evening, Peter used to go round to his mums for a cuppa and a crowd of us from the school would go and wait for him to turn up and have a kickabout in the street. He was my first Charlton idol! Never wanted to be Georgie Best in the playground, only plain old Peter Reeves. I moved into a flat in the late 80's and in those days, you used to have the gasman come and read your meter. My gasman was Peter Reeves and on many occasions, he'd stay for a cuppa and have a chat about the good old days and supporting Charlton. Memories ...15

The poster was only cryptically commenting that the thread hadn't been used for 3 and a half years,
Nothing personal against you.

Well as you can see by my moniker he was one of my favourite players plus I used to play for Villacourt Rovers where Peter would train us sometimes. Never been that fit since!0
