I think he is involved with The River Ale House micro pub.0

I'd say Detective Glover is correct.

"Involved" understates it, Len; Trevor owns the excellent River Ale House - and still attends games at The Valley.LenGlover said:I think he is involved with The River Ale House micro pub.3 -
He was a stalwart of the Mailing List for many years.
In 2003, four of us on there got together to address the suspicion that Sky were not screening us live in accordance with our position in the FAPL - happy days, I suppose. I am pretty sure it was Trevor who had the ace card...he had access to the TV audience data. I cannot remember how that was, because his email address reflected his own business at the time, an online lingerie business called The Undercover Experience. But I think he was still working in a top media agency at the same time.
Anyway Richard Scudamore and Vic Wakeling of Sky got many complaints from fans about coverage, but not many written in their own business language, complete with their own audience data. Fair play to them, they almost immediately held their hands up and called it a fair cop, and as I recall the increased live coverage that resulted was worth an extra £1m to Charlton the following season. Without Trevor's access to the TV data, that would not have happened.
I never met him in person, next time I'm over I will check out his pub. If anyone knows him, please send a doffed cap from me

go and watch Chelsea , not happy with that !
Sometimes goes to away games , yep sounds like an Addick4 -
“the Athletic’s” - is that what we used to be known as?0

Has to be one of the last people ever to be named Trevor.6

Late 60s, if you weren’t going to the valley or to a rare outing to an away game you picked up the paper over breakfast to see what games were on in London, picked one and went to it. Stamford Bridge was definitely a ground to go to because of the likes of Charlie Cook, Bobbie Tambling, Marvin Hinton, Eddie Macreadie, Peter Osgood etc.oohaahmortimer said:go and watch Chelsea , not happy with that !

Prague - Trevor is the antithesis of the archetypal guvnor: he is erudite, thoughtful, good-humoured - and rare in the licensed trade, he actually listens to what you say! His attractive personality and team of staff including son and his partner have made the River Ale House into a highly convivial pub, shortlisted for Camra London Pub of the Year. Proper beers and real ciders, and fair prices...PragueAddick said:He was a stalwart of the Mailing List for many years.

I've not been in there myself, but everyone who has has said what a great place it is.

Love the fact Trevor’s father is “Mr. W. Puddefoot” - surprised they even included the initial.Henry Irving said:Does he still go to games?2 -
Remember the name from Roan days1

I knew Trevor back in the early 60s. He was friends with my older brother John when we lived in Phipps House at the bottom of Victoria Way between 1958 and 1966. If he happens to read this site - best wishes from me and John.0

Of course he's a Roan chap. We gave the sea to England and the continents beside!HardyAddick said:Remember the name from Roan days4 -
Do you know if he is generally in the pub, say in the evenings, if I would try to pop in during my next visit?Viewfinder said:

Puddefoot is such an unusual name. My nan grew up in Forest Gate and as a teenager in the 1920s went out with West Ham's star centre forward ...Syd Puddefoot. I wonder if Clever Trevor is related. If he is why did he choose to follow the Addicks.0

Send him (the pub) a tweet or message on Facebook.PragueAddick said:

Yes, Prague - Trevor is always behind the bar after a game at The Valley, having watched it himself and with acute views on how we should link midfield with attack.PragueAddick said:

Meanwhile, I'll give him your regards. Let me know when you visit - we are both Old Dunstonians, with much to discuss!2 -

Puddlefoot was a quality supporter. But when old spongefoot started with us Puddlefoot’s interest dried up. I’ll get me coat.2

Likewise Covered End. I can still remember both verses verbatim some 48 years after I left.3

I saw Trevor in action the night of the notorious meet and greet with Les Reed and Mark Robson after Dowie got fired. He got up and fired a load of statistics at Uncle Les about results when we played two wingers and got a chorus of Statto, Statto etc, for his troubles. Uncle Les kinda nodded politely and moved on, and things went downhill from there........0
