Steve Sutherland has reported that Syd died on Wednesday.
Anyone who travelled by train would have known Syd but he also drove the team coach at times and was one of those characters that made Charlton Charlton.
Syd Cheesewright is a name that was synonymous with away travel. I cannot recall ever meeting him, like many others I have more than likely crossed his path at some time or another. Thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
RIP Syd - a true Charlton man and clearly a character.
More importantly, it was clear from some of those recorded early Fans’ Form meetings that he irritated the hell out of Katrien Meire, by always bringing the subject back to away travel.

RIP
Was always very fulsome when explaining train travel, a loyal Addick, and his affection for trains made him a true Addick.
What a terrible year it's been
RIP. Last met Syd in 2015 with England in Ljubljana.

That’ll do for me - top man Syd.
