    RIP. I remember attending a supporters’ evening at The Valley Club where he and Alan Mullery were treading the boards and he (Ken Craggs) seemed a very nice guy.
    Thinking of his family and friends.

    Got to know Ken quite well in the early 80s. A lovely man during a difficult time at the club. RIP

    RIP.

    A bit like Clough and Taylor, Mullery and Craggs never were as successful as they were together.

    RIP. Seem to remember his last game in charge was a 1-5 home defeat to Rotherham.

    I'm pretty sure you're right. Tony Towner ran us ragged and I seem to recall that Ronnie Moore scored a hat-trick. Neither player was able to repeat that sort of form when they came to us subsequently.

    No, not me I don't get easily offended.
    I just thought I wouldn't bring up one of Charlton's worse performances I can recall as it is an RIP thread.
    NB I hope you're doing ok after your recent problems?

    Tbh, I wasn’t 100% sure that I was correct in it being his last game in charge.
    But that game was memorable for more than just the defeat. We went 1 up from an offside long shot from Killer, who was subbed after being marked out of the game by Emlyn Hughes. Then Towner and Moore ran riot. Simonsen was meant to have played but didn’t, which was another story. I suppose not long afterwards, Lennie was given the managers job, the start of another era.
    Apart from being Mullery’s assistant, I don’t remember much about Ken Craggs spell in charge. Looking back I suppose a comparison can be made with Les Reed. Nice guy but not a manager. 

    As for me, I’m getting there thanks. Tomorrow is my second attempt at getting my second jab at long last !
