I can't see that Charlton are going to retain his services as a player after this season is done - I think he was on a one year playing/coaching contract and with Youga and Basey coming through at left back I can't see him even getting on the team sheet again this year.
Presumably he'll stay at the club while he completes his UEFA coaching badges, but if he is to be released from his playing contract, or if he finally decides to retire, couldn't the club make a formal presentation on the pitch before the last game? That would give us the chance to say good bye and would be a deserving end not to a great Charlton career but also a great playing career. I make it that he has played around 700 matches for Charlton, Palace, Southend, Aldershot, Derby, West Ham and Watford, not to mention five England caps. Surely if there is one player out there who deserves a send off from the fans it's Sir Chris?
Thoughts anyone?

Were he to announce his retirement this season then I think a presentation would be wholly appropriate but not if he carries on playing and goes elsewhere.
No doubting it though, Sir Chris is a top man and does deserve a special place in the club's history.0 -
perhaps he will go to Southend for a season?0
-
I think he'll sign back on as a player/coach.
Mainly a coach, but registered as a player just in case - remember when Curbs and Gritt were both still registered?1 -
im with Neil well i hope so anyway0
-
He is my favourite charlton palyer of all time (along with Deano.) I've got him on the back of the blue away top.0
-
he HAS to have a testimonial0
-
One of the few born in the 60's still playing - him, Sheringham, Speed - any others?0
