    Oh no, that has made me cry. We got to know Theo very well when he hosted the Keith Peacock Suite. He was a lovely man and will be very much missed. My sincere condolences to Sheila and Theo's family. Rest in peace Theo. I last saw him at my Dad's funeral 3 years ago.

    That’s sad. A great man who even helped coach my son’s football team many years ago. 

    RIP to a Charlton legend

    That’s a real shame, met him a couple of times and he was a really funny, nice guy.

    Was with my daughter when I bought his autobiography in Crossbars and he made a point of asking her name, talking to her & hoping she enjoyed the game.

    I knew Theo reasonably well back in the early seventies. He was a really smashing man. Hid his light under a bushel to some extent and was a very knowledgeable football man. I’m choked to hear of this sad news. RIP Theo.

    Very sad news.

    Knew he hadn't been well. The loss of his son must have hurt him badly too.

    Passionate football man.

    RIP

    Sad news and let it not be forgotten that he signed Mike Flanagan, Derek Hales and Colin Powell 3 Charlton legends of the seventies.

    Condolences to his family.

    Really sad news.

    Back in the early 70s, when Theo was manager,  he would always look out for us few who went to all the away matches in the Third Division.

    He'd come out to chat with us in the away ground car park, tell us personally the team changes, - and dip inside his jacket pocket and produce a wad of complimentary tickets.

    Lovely warm and friendly man, always up for a chat.
    Sleep well, Theo - and thank you.

    That is really sad news. Theo was a lovely man, who always made time for a chat with anybody. As Len says, he was an exceptionally good judge of a player, picking up Mike Flanagan on a free and signing Colin Powell and Killer for £10,000 and £4,000 respectively.

    RIP and condolences to the Foley family.
