In memory of Colin, we are raising money for the Greenwich and Bexley hospice, where he spent his last few days, before passing away in January this year after suffering from Cancer. Colin was a well known face at home and away games over the last 35 years, and always had time for everyone. His collection of Charlton memorabilla is vast, and on the request of Colin's family they have asked that these items are auctioned and kept within the Charlton family.

So far we have raised just over £560, thanks to this site and other items being sold via Ebay. Thank you for looking and happy bidding.

    @shirty5,

    Probably just me being thick, but can you just clarify something about Lot C - is it just a photo of the cards or is it the actual real thing? And do you (or anyone) know how many were produced?

    Cheers

    Photo of the cards. No idea how many were produced but an excellent item anyway. The signature by the artist appears to say D W Foster or foskin.

    agree.

    The book is fascinating. His take on tactics and preparation was way ahead of it's time.
