    Dear old Derek......what a wonderful ambassador for the club he has been and what a wonderful life he had.
    A real old school gentleman of the first order.
    Would like to see a permanent tribute to him in some way or another at The Valley.

    RIP......Derek......RIP.

    One of the greatest players to step out at the Valley
    Boyhood hero for many of the veteran Lifers on here.
    Seasonal tussles with Trevor Ford were part of the football calender.
    RIP

    Very sad news, he and my Dad knew each other well from school days at Dartford Grammar School and both played for Borough Juniors. 

    We often saw Derek in the hospitality suites and I last saw him at my Dad's funeral 4 years ago. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and send my sincere condolences to Derek's family.

    Seemed a really genuine man. Met him once at the valley in the early nineties. RIP

    He gave of his best to CAFC and KCCC.
    Both clubs benefited by way of his efforts.

    My condolences to his family.

    I knew his name from cricket before I first saw Charlton (by which time he had retired from playing). 

    RIP to a great all-round sportsman.
