Charlton Legends You've Chatted To

Prompted by @Dave2l on the never seen Star Wars thread. By 'chatted' I mean a little more than saying hello, congratulating them on a performance or asking for an autograph/selfie - or shouting 'do some work you lazy muppet' if Rhys Williams is your idea of a legend.
Not many for me: Chris Powell, Colin Powell, Derek Hales, Keith Peacock, Matt Holland, Derek Ufton,

I saw Talal el Karkouri in Burtons Bluewater once and asked if he was Talal el Karkouri, he said yes then walked off. Lovely guy, will always remember that day.37

Just Bob Bolder for me, while on the bike ride to Amsterdam. He wanted to know why our JJ was named after Jonatan Johansson, but a lovely man.
Seen several on the Upbeats walk, but they steer clear of me and I get the legend that is @DaveMehmet for company.

Had the pleasure of plenty of chats with Charlton legends over the years but for tongue in cheek this is my all time favourite.
I was at Anfield on a match day and was introduced to John Barnes. As I shook his hand I said with the straightest of faces that it was an honour to meet such a true Charlton legend, this was in the presence of three or four proper Liverpool legends from the 80's.
Barnes's face was a picture and the other Liverpool legends fell about laughing.

Gary Nelson at a work conference back in May, top fella1

Had a really long chat with Simon Webster in the millennium lounge after a game last season (can’t remember which game). Terrific bloke, very knowledgeable and humble. He was with his wife and son who were equally friendly and engaging.4

Wasn't Pringle in the Sweedish equivalent of our SAS? Good luck with that act of aggressionChizz said:. 0 -
I won't include anyone at Q and A supporter club meetings or speaking to anyone for a minute at open days or in the Cafc car park.
Lyle Taylor last season at Crayford when he sponsored the Cafc women's match. Greenwich hospital, The history of Montserrat and family, were some of the topics. (We were interrupted at times when fans wanted a photo with me)
John Humphreys on a train from London Bridge to Charlton and again after the game back to London Bridge: John is a sports teacher and gets to games now if no school matches on. He reminded me of his many years at Wolves before his excellent time at Cafc. TBF to John he didn't want to talk about his time at a Surrey club and I didn't want to hear it.
Paul Mortimer on train journey from new Eltham to London Bridge and on to East Croydon. NHS, coaching, Duchatelet, The Environment, 4-4-2 or 3-5-2 which can become 5-3-2 obviously and the price of fish.(it was a long journey but Paul is good company)
Rhoys Wiggins: We sat next to each other in semi final against Donny; life after football, studying Health nutrition, the politics in football, and that Rhoys feels he never reached his potential after his first injury as a teenager at Palace.
There was no stalking on my part with any of the above players as it was just a case of chatting to folk standing or sitting next to me which I do anyway.
Ps. All the players said "We" when talking about Cafc which from the ex players was good to hear.8 -
Edit: I forgot about Garry Nelson and his lovely wife who gave everyone a congratulatory hug after the completion of the ride.T_C_E said:Just Bob Bolder for me, while on the bike ride to Amsterdam. He wanted to know why our JJ was named after Jonatan Johansson, but a lovely man.

Loads over the years but one of the best was George Green, who played in the late 30’s. He lived next door to my mate with his wife Connie in Eltham and chatted to him a few times.1

Curb it, Tavern, Badger and Mr and Mrs Leaburn.2

Have played golf over the years with ;
Dillon Phillips - lovely chap
tony watt - batshit mental
Scott Minto a few times - as nice as you would imagine
Theo Foley - lovely bloke
Paul Walsh - utter bellend
derek hales - legend. Great golfer too
Doc (physio) - really open and honest
Matt Taylor - unbelievably humble and down to Earth.Sasa Ilic - recent golfer and very open and chattyLyle Taylor - nice guy and chatty.Phil Chapple - encyclopaedia of football in that mans headAlso had good chats with Carlo Leaburn, joe GomeZ, roger johnson (he was pissed at poty bash), Jesper Blomqvist, Michael Morrison and Rhoys Wiggins.Some guys you meet and they are all “what do you want to know about me” whereas I much prefer those who ask me about me. Jimmy Bullard was one of the most charismatic ex-footballers I’ve met who seemed interested to know about the normal world. Scott Minto though was/is awesome. I’ve met him at a few other non-Charlton events and he went out of his way to come and say hello and see how my dad was if we were all going to play golf again anytime soon.13 -

Edit: And just to clarify folks it was at the washbasins.1 -
Derek Hales at Carlisle station 1981. This was after the first of many promotions up there, Killer was on top form, pleading innocence for his red card the week before at Fulham and saying he wasn’t sure of his future “ Cause I fart a lot in training”. Total legend.

I like the fact that they are either really nice, top bloke chatty...or the opposite being, batshit mental or a twat 🙂2 -
I'm still trying to think of any current or ex Charlton that I've spoken to or engaged in conversation with.
Don't think there is any at all. I know a lot of friends/people that have done though. Just sort of branches off.
Spoke to Steve brown on twitter a few times...oh, and Chris Perry.
My mate told me about an evening he spent with bowyer and Jackson roughly a year ago.
Won't say anymore, but it sounds good and funny. Charlton legends0 -
Bob Bolder - used to work with him at the school I work at. Also bumped into him in the summer.
Theo Foley, Charlie Wright, Derek Hales, Chris Solly, Jon Fortune, Garry Nelson - during Supporter Meetings / Q&A (I've also chatted to quite a few other ex-Charlton players at these events but I wouldn't call them legends)
John Bumstead - chatted to him as a kid when he opened our school fete.
Kevin Nolan - not a player / manager I know but still a legend. He is a childhood friend of my grandad and so have met him a number of times along with Hazel, his wife.2
