You just know he would've loved today's game - he would've been going back through his records to find the last time we came from behind to win at home on Boxing Day!0

The Charlton Athletic Museum are very happy to say that Colin's family have handed over his computer records to us for safe keeping and so that that can be made available to as many supporters as possible.
There are literally hundreds of documents and photographs but most importantly we have the draft versions of Home and Away and The Valiant 600 (CC's updated version of his original Valiant 500 which also lists non-first team players).
The plan, agreed and backed by his family, is to update and re-publish the two books when time and money makes it possible. Rick Everitt will take the lead on the two books as suggested by the family.
As Colin's niece Pauline Williams has said about the records "I'm quite sure that Colin would be delighted to see them being used".
Spent an afternoon just looking through the records yesterday and only scratched the surface.
We'll be tweeting some snippets and photos on @chathmuseum, our twitter account, over the coming weeks and months.

Thats great to hear. Colin would have loved this I am sure.0

This seems like an appropriate time to say a popular Charlton Life-ism and, unusually, actually mean it.
Thanks Colin!

Always enjoyed chatting with Colin. I wonder if Roland and Katrien have any idea who he was, and the legacy that he left.0

It's actually Burnley, presumably after we beat them in 1947 celebrating their promotion from Div 20

Without the past we have no future
The man who knew all the facts about Charlton Athletic passed away five years ago today.
Colin would have had a field day with what has gone on at Charlton in the last five years.
Still miss our chats together ,thinking of you and your family on this day.19 -

Once he discovered I was a programme and memorabilia collector of all things Charlton he always went out of his way to get me a team sheet on match days.
RIP Colin.0 -

Such a gentleman.........I, like many others, loved him to bits.
One of our all time greatest fans who like me, thought Stuart Leary was our greatest all time player.0 -
Very much missed.

So many records broken since he passed. Lowest home gate, most players used in a season, most managers in a twelve month period. Probably many more.0

10 years this christmas.
The last match that Colin attended was against Peterbrough Utd tuesday 27th november 2012.
Charlton won this match 2-0.
Would be good to think it might get a mention at The Valley this boxing day.
Thinking of you. C and G

Much missed to this day, I dread to think what he would have thought about the current inexplicable shenanigans.3
