Lennie at the Museum

The great Lennie Lawrence spent 90 minutes visiting the Museum today. Great to see him and to remember his time at Charlton. He told us that of all the players he signed through his long managerial career three of the top five were at Charlton.  Names please

    Jeez, take your pick. In addition to those already mentioned you could add:

    Mark Reid
    John Pender
    John Pearson 
    Steve Thompson

    Plus he resigned Flash, who was a very important part of that promotion team.

    I’ve told Lennie this in person. 
    I never expected my team to be in the top division during my lifetime. 
    He got us there, and we were back on the map.

    Former Palace coach caught red-handed vandalising Charlton timeline.

    @stig will have to update it now
  • Nothing wrong with Bolder, Humphrey and Reid.

    Kernaghan? He didnt sign him for Boro, he was already a Boro player on loan to us (in exchange for Colin Walsh). Always remember Walsh playing against us for Boro at Selhurst - seemed so wrong.

    I was fortunate to be in the museum today and met Lennie. He spent a couple of hours with us and particularly enjoyed watching the centenary DVD.
      One thing he spoke about was the very important part Jimmy Hill played in that promotion season when we left The Valley. His football knowledge was a great help to the club. He was disappointed that in Jimmy Hill's book there was not one mention of his time at Charlton.
     Killer Hales , he had to be managed but he found a way. Talked about the Bolton match , last game of the season. How important it was to stay up that season. We won 4-1 sending Bolton down.
     He also talked about Derek Ufton and what a lovely guy he was.
     Leaving the Valley , he was told the night before the Palace game , where we were handed the leaflet. He told the players before the match.

    Did you manage to tap him up for any particularly niche memorabilia? ;)

    Lennie saved us from folding, especially through the Shithurst Park era.
