    Never met him. Not sure why someone who only did his job properly is given so much respect. 

    I’ve never spoke to him either, but it’s quite clear he’s not only a proper lifetime fan who loves the club, but it seems like many who crossed his path has a good word to say about him. I’m sure he will be a big loss to the behind the scenes running of the  club.

    That’s the whole point isn’t it. Some people do a job for years without making friends, or earning respect for actions above and beyond. Mick wasn’t one of those. 

    Congrats on one of the oddest posts I’ve seen on CL btw.

    Bloody firemen rescuing children from blazing houses. Won’t get no praise from me, it’s what they are paid to do.

    Nurses caring for sick people, so what?

    They get paid, don't they.

    Have a long and happy retirement Mick, you deserve it.

    I only spoke to you once when I complained about the 'blindgate' incident, but you handled it very professionally, thank you.

    People moaning about Mick yet have never met him. Weird.

    If they haven’t got something positive to say, they should not comment at all - you only need to watch that video to see that he is a decent bloke

    Mick is a legend, i would go as far as saying that without his input into the supporters clubs when we returned to the Valley we would not of seen the gate receipts needed to sustain and build the squad in the late 90's. He was instrumental in getting us the supporters clubs behind and organised for target 10,000, without him and his drive and dedication (all voluntary at the time) i dont believe we would have seen the premier league years. Have a great retirement Mick, hope you have many years enjoyment watching the boys now without the stress of matchday.

    Players are only doing their jobs by scoring goals or defending them but are vaunted as heroes, gods, idols.

    Anyone that cares about my safety when i'm at a game is a good egg in my book, thank you Mick for all you have done for the club.

    As someone who had dealings with Mick from the other side of the fence, when I was a bit of an herbert, I can only say he was as straight as a die, always had mine and my cohorts respect, and on more than one occasion certain things didn’t happen out of deference to him.
    The night of the boardroom and range rovers should be one of many reasons why he should never have to buy a drink again in Charlton fans company.

    Fair play to @iainment , not much can untie opinion on Charlton Life, but his comment had managed it!

    If anyone thinks Mick - and for that matter numerous other fans who worked at the club - were just there to do a job and contributed nothing more than could be expected then you really know nothing about the last 30-plus years.

    The club was run by fans during its most successful modern era and that wasn’t a coincidence. Mick was the great survivor and probably the best exemplar but to dismiss his contribution as “someone who did his job properly” is laughable. If that was a fair characterisation he’d have left many years ago.

    Red card for iainment ! 

    That makes twice in as many weeks that I've used the word DISRESPECT on here....both deserved IMO.

    Look at me!
    Look at me!

    🙄

    As someone who worked in that environment (albeit with our neighbours in the toolbox) I know how much work is involved and not just on match days.
    I have never met Mick but know many who know him and I have NEVER heard a bad word said about him.

    I hope he has a very long, very happy retirement and I hope one day I can buy him a beer.

    You, Iainment, I hope I never meet.

    I have never knowingly met you @iainment so I am not going to judge you, I am however genuinely intrigued as to your thought process in thinking that comment was either valid or a good idea?

    Happy retirement Mick. Seems you didn't just do your job properly but went above and beyond.

    So, there’s only room for one opinion. As I said I never met him, never had any dealings with him and still don’t understand why this makes me the devil. But cliquism is alive and well here.

    Fair enough I will. Debate is wonderful. You should try it.

    You've said you don't know anything about him, fair enough, and people from all corners have explained how he's a legend. If you'd said "fair play" the world would be at peace. Instead you got eggy. Poor.

    It was an ignorant and disrespectful comment.
    Maybe read it again and see if you can at least try and understand.
    It's nothing to do with devils and cliques.

    I debate with intelligence.
    NOT ignorance.
