    Sorry for your loss and thanks for sharing this, really enjoyed reading it. I've enjoyed similar times with my dad and I look forward to doing the same with my kids.

    THIS is why I love my club. The history, the reasons, the memories will never die.

    RIP Mr Justham.

    Richard, I have only just caught up with this thread, I had the pleasure of meeting your Dad, when I started working at my Dad's business Winston Sports, and your Dad was our contact at Foots Cray Lions, I know he had a burning passion for Charlton and Foots Cray Lions, as we would chat all things Charlton when he came in.Bernard you were a true gentleman, May you rest in peace, from Steve and all at Winston Sports.

    Sheffield Red, really appreciate your words. By co-incidence I wrote a song Losing You after he died, which was recorded and played on Sheffield local radio by a friend of a friend about 15 years ago. I have carried him with me always.
