    Many moons ago, we lost 2-0 at old Trafford and as a Charlton fan in the after match corporate 'do' ,I was asked to give out the MOM bottle, a player from each side, Henrik Larson recieved there's and was charming, good old Marcus was ours and was a complete tool.
    What did he say / do?

    Don't want to reignite the stale old debate about whether we wanted Curbs to go or not, but the Marcus Bent signing was for me (at the time, not hindsight) a sign that we need to change things around.  Would love to know what Curbs was thinking...

    ..but hey, surely he'll be invited back for a Charlton TV feature soon, and Scotty can ask Curbs that very question!

    Lots of dodgy signings by Curbs at West Ham too.

    A former Premier League footballer has won a second High Court fight over the ownership of a house in Surrey.

    Marcus Bent, who was declared bankrupt in 2019, was involved in legal action against the trustees of his bankruptcy over the ownership of an Epsom property and whether it formed part of his estate.

    The trustees had appealed against a ruling that the house belonged to his daughter, Aliyah Bent, 20, and argued that the judge was wrong.

    But on Wednesday, Mr Justice Edwin Johnson dismissed the appeal, and said he was “completely unable to see how the judge went wrong in his analysis”.

    That’s because we have won both our first games and we have nothing to moan about . Don’t worry it won’t last

    Wasn't he trying to keep the house from repossessed by arguing it's in his daughter's name?

    That's how I read it, not him suing his daughter?

    MB might have seemed a cynical pisstaking  fraud of a player but he's got enough smarts to convince a couple of learned judges that his house was in trust for his daughter, thereby disappointing his creditors on monies owed.  Defended himself apparently.  Whatever he was as a player, he's convinced numbers of people that he's not a grifting arsehole: Curbs, Gemma Atkinson, two judges.  Maybe we had him wrong all along?

    Gemma Arterton - Gravesend lass, Charlton family.

    Gemma Atkinson - soap actor, was engaged to Marcus Bent, married a bloke off Strictly after being a contestant.

    Michael Appleton - useless ex-Charlton manager.
