    Very sorry to hear the news. Dave was a great guy, a big figure in CARD and way back in 1990 I remember his letters to the Mercury challenging the council and other local residents in the cause. I’m glad I got to know him a bit better in recent years but he’ll be much missed.

    Such a lovely fella. Had a great chat with him before the first Euro.96 game on Charlton Station, was talking about the game against Scotland a week later.

    Was as proper Charlton as they come and throughout all the issues the club have had always was on the correct side of the argument 

    RIP

    Totally gutted to hear that awful news. Got to know Dave well during the protest years and he was, as others have said, a wonderful man. Last spoke with him about 4 weeks ago and he told me the cancer had finally caught up with him and he was "on the slippery slope now". Never met a more courageous man. Will treasure the memories of when he joined @SE7toSG3 and I on a mudlarking walk in East London last July. He was obviously ill but he has been fighting it for so long that I kind of expected him to go on for ever.

    RIP big man. X

    That is really sad news. I didn’t know him but he was clearly a very important member of the Charlton community and I’ve been an avid reader of ‘Drinking During the Game’ for many years. RIP.

    Very sad news , I followed his blog for years which was always sensible and well written. Briefly met him when I bought an old Pub picture of The Valley from him which I got restored to former glory 
    Best wishes to his family.

    I didn't know Dave, but recognise his name on this forum. It's clear from the many comments that he was a very well liked and respected member of the Charlton family. My sincere condolences to Dave's family and friends.

    Very sad news. We both started blogging around the same time, but I stopped after a few years, yet he carried on, and on. Always liked and respected Drinking During the Game. RIP Dave, you will be missed.

    F***, from the photo I’ve just realised who Dave is.
    I was fortunate enough to meet him on a few occasions, a true gentleman.
    Rest easy now.
    Condolences to family and friends x
