i guess he would have been close on 1100 games by now.Never forgotten.1

I wouldn’t have known who Seb is apart from me having been on this forum for years.I don’t know why, but his death was the one that probably resonated most with me over the last 18 months, maybe because he was Charlton, maybe his age, maybe because of the amount of love for him that was on this forum, other clubs forums,Twitter even in the national papers.Am glad he is being remembered in song and in his memorial.Many miles did he travel.RIP Seb18

If you don't go to away games and don't sit in the North stand, then you'd likely never have crossed paths.0 -
Cant be many clubs out there who have a song for a specific fan7

I hesitate to enter a debate (i.e. about how well known Seb was outside the Covered End and away games) which appears to be evolving in a rather fruitless tangent which diverts attention away somewhat from the thread title.
Irrespective of whether some Charlton fans were aware of Seb and his record-breaking consecutive games record/signature worm dance/Covered End flag - or not - before his untimely death (an event which did receive global coverage in the football fan community) we all come together now, as @MrOneLung has said to remember him in a forthcoming memorial and in the Sebbo song (which I heard for the first time yesterday).
Long may the song be sung home and away in memory of Seb. It was a brilliant concept and cannot fail to evoke a deep emotion in any supporter of this club.
Let's keep this thread on track and continue to celebrate the life of a legendary and irreplaceable Charlton superfan in words, songs and deeds.

Fans like Seb are the lifeblood of football and it was so unfair that Covid took his life. He fully deserves a memorial and it's great that he will be remembered in the history of the club.7

The song is absolutely beautiful. I find it very emotional. I hope it remains sung (at that speed) for decades to come30

What are the words?0

Said hello to his brother Ollie yesterday before the game, walking past the covered end to the Royal Oak, really wanted to say more but really didn’t know what to say.7

That said, there are enough that knew (or knew of) Seb to commemorate his passing and to recognise his commitment to supporting Charlton, and that is a good thing.1 - Sponsored links:

I think some will have known Seb better than others but everybody knew who he was and held him in strong regard.6
