    If it is him, and i have no doubt it is, what a poor sod having to sell that due to a "financial crisis".

    Especially considering what players earn now.

    Played a big part in that final and in our year up the year after.

    Think the club should stump up and buy it off him.

    Well it looks like him in the picture...

    At that price, I think Oohaah's the only one on here likely to be in the running...

    It is very sad, I agree, the club should buy it back, he may want to get it back when he has a little more money.

    Has to be said he doesn't look too upset in the picture!

    I believe he had a sports memorabilia company and went down the drain.

    it is him, remember when he sold his shirt last year as well.

    Can't see the club doing it but possibly someone well connected to the club personally might?

    It's him alright ,but the medal is probably a fake.

    Jonesey was born into a family of 'travellers',and the original medal was melted down to make his mum some new earings and his uncle a couple of teeth!

    Seems like a lot of money to me....its not as flash as Id expect a play off final winners medal to be.....looks like the sort of thing that gets handed out to my kids at Football fun week :-)

    I think we paid £400K and shipped him on to Bristol City.

    Before he became a pro at West Ham he worked in a soap factory in Billericay.

    No idea what the relevance of that useless piece of info is ;-).

    He deserves a decent bid just for his goal at Swindon that season. Very sad that he's had to do this.

    sure is sad
    It was him, last year selling stuff is money that bad?

    Maybe lay off the Fila clothes and go Matalan that would save a few notes

    Why dont we all chip in and buy it off him each lifer owning it for a day a year at 2500 we would need 365 people putting in £7.00

    Great idea, NLA - I'm in as long it gets delivered to me in Glasgow and picked up the day after ;-) Otherwise the Royal Mail will make a fortune out of us!

    Jimmy, sometimes you should read the thread before you comment :-) Charlton Life are going to buy it if we can find 365 of us in for £7.50...

    Maybe we should open A Charlton Life museum and put it in there together with that positive post i made in February 2007.

    I had read that comment.
    'Anyone' is exactly that: 'one'.
    I hardly think a consortium of people constitutes 'someone'

    I'd pay £7.50 but only if we display it in a glass cabinet in the club, with a buy-back option for Steve Jones.
