    Tom was a pleasant chap who was very good at his job. The vast body of work that he created will continue to be enjoyed by many.
    Rest in peace, Tom Morris.

    As a youth I wanted to be a photo journalist. I made it to photographer, but never to the dream. I so much appreciate the amazing pictures people like Tom have given the world as a record that lives for all time. 

    RIP Tom

    One of those faces, that I clocked,  in my early  Charlton life , as I fell in love with the club, going to away games from the mid 80s onwards to far flung places when we would have minimum support, there he would be the loan figure at our attacking end .
    RIP Tom forever part of our Charlton hearts .

    They say a picture says a 1000 words, and boy did this guy know how to take a photo, RIP Tom.

    I’ve really hated 2020. Seb (among others) and now Tom. RIP Tom.

    RIP Tom. You have left a fantastic legacy of photos for us to enjoy, and will hopefully be an inspiration to my daughter.

    RIP Tom. The next big screen memorial will be one of the most poignant ever with so many names known by all Charlton fans.

    So sad - a Roan school colleague and Plumstead neighbour. Bye Tom and many thanks for the excitement your wonderful black and white fotos gave us all.

    So sad to hear of Tom's passing. So many iconic images came from Tom's camera lens. Tom would always find time to stop and chat to me about Charlton or Kent whenever I bumped into him in Woolwich or at Canterbury. An unassuming and humble man who will be sadly missed.

    So sad to hear of his passing. Was at school with him at St Margarets and the Roan. Used to see him at the matches in the 70s 80s 90s loaded up with cameras running to get a good position behind the goal that Charlton were attacking. Finally caught up with him at the Valley after seeing his Twitter account and talked about the old times of Plumstead, schools and mutual friends. RIP Tom.

    Raised a glass to Tom last night. It was a privilege and an honour to have known him, used to love chatting to him about photography. One of the genuine good guys, he will be sorely missed. RIP.

    Tom's photos of games in the Sixties and Seventies are a joy and bring back so many great memories. They conveyed a fan's view of the action and captured so many great moments. RIP Tom and thank you.

    I used to keep a scrapbook during the late 80's. They are full of his photos. He will live on through these photos. RIP

    Here's a roughly random choice (from April'89) from aforementionned scrapbooks.

    As a Roan boy, he covered the English Schools final in 1971, which Roan were in. The first leg was at The Valley, so it is quite an honour to have played in front of Tom's professional lens at the hallowed ground. I still have the complete set of 20 photographs that he made available to buy after the event. Memories and items to cherish.

    A Charlton legend.

    RIP and condolences to Tom's family and friends. I've enjoyed his photographs for as long as I can remember and they capture so many memories. He leaves behind a wonderful legacy.
