Johnny Sewell went to my old school, Roan Grammar as it was in those days. He came back and did some football coaching whilst he was playing for Charlton and Palace. RIP, sir.
Remember him well…..good player, solid, consistent and dependable is how I would describe him. Can’t ever remember him having what you would call a bad game. He eventually emigrated to America, where he continued his career in the very early days of semi-pro football. He was a real gent by the way. RIP…..John…..RIP.
Really good player,very quick and had a shot like a cannonball,used to live in Charlton Village over the shop right next to the church.RIP another legend from my early days of supporting Charlton gone.
Oh dear RIP Saw Johnny Sewell play many times. Could probably out sprint any of all our backs. He also packed a shot which though used sparingly always lifted the spirits.
One of the earliest cases (in my time at least) of a Charlton/Palace player move - although that didn't quite have the unpleasant feel then that it has today.

Very good right back for us.

His son used to post on Glynnes list, think he spoke fondly of his time at The Valley.

Went to school with his nephew when he played for Palace. Even in my young mind I didn't take to him purely because of this.
Saw him play at The Valley a couple of times.
RIP.
