I only just read this. I wrongly assumed it was a dancing type event lol.
I just booked up. £10 to meet Killer seems good value.
If anyone is interested it's on the ticket page under tours & experiences and then "events" on the drop down menu.
‘An Evening Through the Decades’ will see three events take place at The Valley throughout the season, with the first, celebrating the 1960s and 1970s, boasting some of the biggest names to grace SE7 during the era.
The intimate Q&A evening will come in two halves, with legendary Addicks Len Glover, Charlie Wright, Phil Warman and Brian Kinsey taking to the stage for the first part, before the mic turns to Colin Powell, Derek Hales and Arthur Horsfield for the second, with Keith Peacock overseeing proceedings.
The legends will share stories about their time playing at The Valley and field questions from supporters and there will be a host of other famous names from the era present at the event, giving fans a chance to mingle with their heroes from the past with the likes of Dick Tydman, Peter Hunt and Les Berry set to attend. Further names will be confirmed in due course.
Tickets for ‘An Evening Through the Decades: The 60s and 70s’, which takes place in The Valley’s Millennium Lounge with doors opening at 7pm, will go on sale on Saturday morning and will be priced at £10 from the Ticket Office. They can be purchased either online by visiting booking.cafc.co.uk, by phone on 03330 14 44 44 or in person.
Two further ‘An Evening Through the Decades’ events will take place later in the season celebrating both the 80s and 90s as well as the 00s to the present day with yet more Addicks legends, news of which will be confirmed in due course.
@Covered End thanks for your post explaining how to book tickets for this, as I ended up having to talk my Dad through the process over the phone. He's just phoned me a little while ago to say thank you as he and Mum had a whale of a time there tonight.
Anyone here have any particularly favourite stories from it?

I will put it to the new board that @Covered End is to be our SLO.
Aside from me, he is the most helpful and courteous person I know.

Harsh, after all I've just done for aliwibble regarding the search facility. 😉
Great picture. Sorry to say I can only recognise for certain Colin Powell, Brian Kinsey, Keith Peacock and Phil Warman. Ok Can you put names to faces, please.
Wish I could. Mike Bailey front row far right, Martin Robinson, back row third from right, Peter Shaw and Derek Hales back row far left.
It was a privilege to host last night's 60's and 70's Q&A evening at The Valley. For a Plumstead boy like me who stood on the East Terrace and watched these legends for so many years, it was great to share a stage with them.
The players in the photo from Left to Right are: back row; Derek Hales, Peter Shaw, Arthur Horsfield, John Dunn, Richie Bowman, Martin Robinson, Colin Powell and Len Glover, front row, Brian Kinsey, Peter Hunt, Keith Peacock, Phil Warman and Mike Bailey. Also with us but not in the photo was Derek Ufton.
It was a great evening , Ritchie Bowman was the only one who looked exactly the same as I remember him , completely unravaged by the effects of time. Many great stories , Halesy was on form a sort of cross between Uncle Albert and Del Boy . Len Glover talking about playing against Stanley Matthews and I even managed a chat with King Arthur , recounting my story about how I met him once before in the changing rooms after a Friday night game against Southampton , which he attended as a spectator. Told me he still lives in the same house in Gravesend , in brought in 1972 and wished he'd got his wife to drive up , so he could have a proper drink like Halesy was.

Killer is certainly looking like Uncle Albert these days!

I had a decent chat with Killer afterwards, but I wouldn't repeat what he said on here.
