Excellent piece in VOTV wishing Jean well after two recent falls.

Many of you will know Jean, especially if you travelled on the coaches from Bromley or came to Bromley Addicks meetings where she would, despite being tiny, squeeze huge amounts of money for raffle tickets out of everyone who attended.

She is still President of Bromley Addicks so when we hadn't heard from her for a while @wwtone spoke to her son.

Jean is being well looked after and is recovering but won't be back at the beloved Valley for a while.

Bromley Addicks have sent flowers and the club, via @Tracey Leaburn, have sent a get well card.

I hope she got to see the game on TV last night.  Sure that would have cheered her up.

    Great bubbly and dependable character is Jean. Well thought of by everyone at Bromley Addicks.
    I miss the meetings very much now I am living up north.

    I have known Jean for many, many years. She is a really lovely lady. She is Mrs Charlton. I am glad she is on the mend. During the couple of years before the Play-Off Final win, inaugural Premier League season, Division 1 title season and maybe our very early long seven year stint in the Prem I used to go on her coach.

    Get Well Soon Jean!

    Get get well soon Jean. Used to chat with Jean regularly when I used to hang around with my son after the game when he collected autographs. Mrs Charlton through and through.

    Pleased to hear you're recovering well, Jean.

    All your friends at The Valley miss you with your lovely smile. 

    Hope to see you back there before too long.

    Get well soon Jean, she used to work for one of my customers when I was in the paper trade. It was always great going in and having a ten minute chat about the Addicks before trying to wring a few orders out of her boss (who was also a nice bloke).

    I've only met Jean a handful of times but what a warm, friendly, helpful, thoughtful person - after that infamous soaking at Yeovil she went out of her way to make sure everyone was given a hot drink without a thought for herself. Get well soon Jean.

    I wish her well.  Would’ve been on her coach a number of times in the mid/late 90s.  A lovely woman who has given her life to following Charlton and been an excellent steward.  Always had a friendly smile to greet passengers

    Part of the great coach stewardship

    Ditto, sigh of relief. One of the nicest people you could know yet wouldn't argue! All love, you'll be back Jean.

    It's OK,  Jean still with us and doing well according to her son Gary, who has a season ticket in the Curbs stand.

    But Gary has just let the museum have some more of Jean's memorabilia.

    So here are a few bits




    Christ don't do that!!

    Jean was Jean Maystone before she married and lived in Abbey Wood.

    We know this because she kept the letters she received from the club about her scarf.





    These letters beg the question, Where is that scarf now?

    @aliwibble @AFKABartram

    Can you change the title so people don't think this is a RIP thread.

    "Jean Tindell, doing well, donated memorabilia to museum" would do it.

    Those letters are superb. Wonderful that Jean has kept them all these years.

    There were two scrap books in the collection

    Collectors will be horrified to see this now very rare programme stuck in a scrap book but they weren't seen as valuable or collectable then.

    This is the first Charlton programme after the FA Cup final win and you can see that the club has really gone to town with the celebrations of this event.

    Programme collectors look away now



    Fortunately Jean saved a lot of 1940s and 1950s programmes as well

    Glad she is all ok

    Real Charlton fans will drool over this 1957/8 fixture list issued by Southern Railways.

    Jean was a very early member of the Robins Club, a post war supporters group.

    The club wouldn't let the supporters use the words "Charlton Athletic" in the club's name for a number of years

    Really good to hear that Jean is doing OK.
