    Picked this up (interview with John Robinson) on Talksport at 14.35 today on Hawksbee and Jacobs.
    You will need to check the transcript/playback but when asked about the sad state of Charlton today he said something on the lines of  'you've got to move on' - I am paraphasing and I'm not sure to whom the comment was directed (the fans?). 
    He did have some words of praise for 'Bow' but subsequently he was talking mostly about the soccer academy he has set up in Florida. I needed to 'move on' myself so I don't know if the conversation returned to Charlton.

    Even if he had no words of succour for  Charlton fans during that interview he will always be a hero for me even just for that one moment when I was in the Covered End when he came on as sub, got booked and then popped in the equaliser against Man Utd and then went on that crazy run back to the half-way line arms circling.
  • He was on Talksport earlier this afternoon talking about his coaching classes that he runs in the USA.

    They could have picked a better picture, rather than him being mugged off by Jonathan Greening ffs!

    My favourite CAFC player of all time. If you're reading John, maybe extend your link ups to clubs in Crawley, so I can take my boy along?

    Going forward, if every player who put on an Addicks shirt had his spirit and will to win (which he had in buckets full), then we would be Champions of Europe.

  • Proper Charlton.

    Yup, have to agree with that, will to win & energy in spade-loads.

    Another one who never gave up was Garry Nelson. The number of times he surprised defenders who were watching the ball going out of play and nipped past them and made a chance.
  • Got free valley pass for a month due to the sound cock up v Crewe. His interview on there is about 1.75 hours I think. One of my favourite players so assume it's a good watch? Lot of time to invest if not.

    Morning all,

    Not sure if you are aware that legend John Robinson is running to raise money for Headphones Norm following his sad passing.

    Here is a link to donate https://gofund.me/33fbfe204

    Cheers
    Lovely words from one Charlton Legend about another one.
  • Lovely thought from Robbo. However he might want to change "Baker" to "Barker"

    One of my all time favourites. A true Charlton player. Good luck to him.

    Can’t believe it was basically a quarter of a century ago he played for us. My first game was in 1993, and for a long time it felt like Robbo would play for us forever.

    That's not him. I remember he had more hair than that.

    Well he is a footballer, so not overly known for their English and grammar
