    What what a truly shit year this has been.Losing Seb Peter and now Syd.
    We probably all have a  story or two to tell about Syd.He used to ring me during the week before an away game to confirm numbers.Sometimes my wife would answer the phone and speak to him.She used to say he was as mad as a hatter but a true gentleman.RIP Syd

    What an extraordinary extrovert Syd was.....a real one off, there are many tales that can be told about Syd and some of his bizarre and amusing antics, many of which he was totally unaware of them being slightly skew whiff in thought process.
    Once Syd had decided about the way something should be done that was it, he seemed oblivious of the inconvenience he may have caused others.Yet Syd somehow managed to carry it off and people would shrug their shoulders and smile, saying “well that‘s Syd for you”. He was often highly amusing, without ever realising it.
    And yet, he was a really well liked fellow by one and all. Very helpful regarding away travel both by coach and train.....can’t see anyone who could step into his shoes to be honest.
    You will be sadly missed old fella, and a million thanks from legions of the Addicks faithful who benefitted greatly from your knowledge and help over the years.
    RIP......SYD......RIP.
    UP THE ADDICKS!
    I was going to write something but you have done a far better job than I could have. 
    Summed him up perfectly. 

    RIP SYD A TRUE CHARLTON LEGEND

    If you ever write that book Ian, don’t forget the Syd Cheesewright chapter you once referred to.

    RIP Syd.  Was my lecturer in Management Studies at Croydon College in the 80's when I was there.  Nice guy, but definitely a bit "off the wall".

    Was one of the the course lecturers at the CMS level (Certificate in Management Studies) - sort of lower management/Supervisory level - entry into management - quite practical - wouldn't describe it as academic!  He was very "down to earth" and practical in his approach - in the 1 year (part-time) course I don't remember him mentioning football once...

    There was definitely only one Syd Cheeswright, an eccentric chap to say the least.
    I spent many enjoyable Saturdays on Cheesyjet.
    A legend in his own lifetime.
    Gone but never forgotten. 
    RIP.
