I have just heard that my friend Peter Leaver has passed away. I knew him through my trade union life and he was best man at my first wedding.

I can also claim to have introduced him and his son Christopher to the Valley. Peter wanted to take Chris to a live game. I took them to a game against Barnsley and the rest is history.

We had some great away days and I particularly remember coming back from Carlisle after we got promoted.

    Oh that is rubbish news. Peter was a very familiar face at away games and on trains in the 1990s and 2000s when I was going every game. A top fella and always happy for a chat. Haven’t seen him for a few years but still see Chris all the time.

    RIP Peter and condolences to Chris and the rest of your family and friends, including you @Richard J

    Richard J, sad news.

    What Barnsley game was it? If it was the 5-3 game then that sums up watching Charlton.

    He checked out in the early hours, not Covid related, knew it was coming but still a bit raw. RIP mate.

    No I am afraid it was  a 0-0 draw.

    Didn't know him myself but evident from this thread that he was a loyal Addick and a good bloke.

    RIP

    This is just horrible news.  Pete was one of life’s good guys, a really nice lad who always went out of his way for others.  Very proud to have known him and spent time in his company. He always had a lot of time for my dad and enjoyed a great chat. We both send our condolences to Chris, his family and all his friends, many of whom are on here. 

    Rest set in Peace Pete.

    Pete’s funeral is this morning, he went passed The Valley, a group of 30 or so, waited for him there to say goodbye. 

    RIP Pete.
