    I can't remember being so shocked and saddened by the death of someone I never spoke to. RIP Seb.
    I think you speak for all of us who hadn't ever spoken to him

    A gofundme page for a statue in aid of Seb has been started. Every little helps.

    I wonder if this needs a new thread. Might get lost otherwise.

    Shows how well known Seb was when you've got the likes of Joe Gomez | Morgan Fox | Ademola Lookman tweeting about how they remember him

    Edit: Add Darren Ambrose to that list now (mention him as he's not been a Charlton player for years)

    Only just seen this, can’t believe it. Didn’t know him but he’d be one of the first names I’d think of if I was asked to name a well known Charlton fan. Amazing dedication and run of matches that would no doubt have continued for many years had he had the opportunity. The definition of super fan. Gone far too young.

    RIP Seb.

    Sad times. RIP Seb. I remember going out of the cup at Cheltenham, such a dire performance and Seb practically being the last Addick left singing for the lads.     
  • So very sad. RIP

    This has saddened me far more than I expected. Never knew Seb, though I'm sure our paths must have crossed in the late 90s/early 2000s when I was still able to get to every home game and a good handful or more away games each season. I think @oohaahmortimer said it best, this has effected us all so much because Seb was the fan we all wished we were.

    RIP

    Konsa as well.
  • Oh my goodness, I've just caught up with this dreadful news. It's all been said by others before me this morning. But I just wanted to acknowledge my own sadness at Seb's passing and hope his family take some small crumb of comfort at the outpouring of love, fondness and warmest wishes extended for Seb.

    RIP

    awful news, not going to pretend I knew him, only ever said hello a couple of times, devastating for his family & friends, RIP Seb

    Mass worm outside the main entrance on our return to football, but football is the last thing on my mind right now, a little bit of perspective for all of us

    Fuck no. 
    Only just seen this. 

    Horrible horrible news. 

    You can see by the responses to Charlton's tweet about him to see what how fondly regarded he was from fellow fans, players past and present and even some other clubs. 

    RIP Seb 

    Legend.

    The news just doesn't want to sink in.

    Like many others have already mentioned I'd often greet him with a smile and a wave before games when I'd see him in Crossbars or at a midweek away game.

    Even met him once at Genk away on our 2015 pre season in Belgium. There can't have been much more than 50-60 or so of us there but Seb was there too.

    Was my brother's driving instructor when he passed his test last year too.

    RIP Seb

    So sad to hear this. Used to say hello to him at away games. Will miss him at future games

    Think they will reach whatever target is needed. 

  • I echo Stig's comments. Such sad news. RIP Seb. My deep condolences to his family.

    We never actually met Seb but his reputation preceded him, It would be nice if he could receive a tribute from us fans at our next home match. R.I.P. Seb Lewis Our13th player
