    The own goal was on good Friday, home to Orient, back pass from the halfway line, sailed
    over the keepers head at the covered end.

    Remember it well, 1972. We lost 2-1 that day, I believe ...... and never won another game that season, sinking from 13th into the relegation spots on the final day, with a 5-0 hammering at Blackpool.

    Sad news to lose yet another stalwart from those times..

    Remember that game well.In the covered end that day and the following day when we lost to a soon to be promoted Norwich.RIP Big Man

    If Big Ship asked, I think I'd have said yes even if I didn't have a car!!

    Part of my first Charlton team & memories. Sad news and no age at all.

    Rest in a Peace Dave.

    Gutted to hear this. I seem to recall we re signed him and a played a blinder in a 0-0 draw at Brisbane Road that kept us up.
    Blood and thunder centre half who was great in the air. RIP big Dave.

    RIP big man.

    Didn't Nelson blame him for the two goals the Bristol Rovers scored in the 5-5 game?

    An FA Cup third round tie here from 1971, with Charlton's Dave Shipperley tackling Hull's Chris Simpkin.

    A different age, a different game.
    R.I.P. Dave.

    Yes,I publicly slated him despite the fact that he scored a goal himself, and was our only decent defender.

    RIP

    I remember as a policeman after he retired he often looked after the away end at Fulham.

    He was on duty for the Cup tie in 1981 and our fans sang Ship, Ship,Shipperley.

    Dave Shipperley was around when I first started going to The Valley with my Dad.
    He was a wholehearted player and a great servant to the club.
    RIP Dave.

    Very sad news - RIP.

    A wholehearted player and an absolute giant of a man. Very effective in the opposition penalty area at corners, when he used to charge in from the corner of the box, brushing opponents aside and, more often than not, get a header in on goal or knock the ball down into the danger area for people like Arthur Horsfield. There was always a roar of anticipation from the Covered End as Ship lumbered up for the set play.

    He definitely became a policeman and I recall reading that he turned up in our dressing room at Craven Cottage when we were playing Fulham, as that was his local 'patch'.

    I really liked him, a great character. Yes he did turn up in the dressing room; made a beeline for Halesy and scared the life out of him!
