    It was a very good event, glad the attendance was large. I'd have liked to say hello to the dignitaries but to be honest I'd just make a prat of myself telling them all, Scott Minto and Brownie included how much I love them 
    Aw, bless !

    Looks like you asked Mr P. Ibert to sign the last pic instead of Mr L. Bowyer.

    It was brilliant. I loved hearing everything they had to say and Minto does a great job.
    Bowyers plane crash story was the maddest thing I've ever heard. He also told it so well, made it really funny too. 
    I loved that Powells favorite Charlton game as a player was scoring on his final appearance, which remains for me, the most amazing thing I've ever seen on a football pitch.

    Interesting take from LB on Taylor and AC on Parker. Both really did not criticise the players decisions,  but AC firmly believes we would have finished 4th had Parker stayed.

    Neither were answers we wanted to hear, I'd have loved a version for Taylor where Bowyer told him he would open him up like a cheap can of tuna next time he saw him. Instead he was pragmatic, which I suppose people who are in the game have to be to a point. Alan Curbishley was pretty firm about Scott Parker. He was clearly more pissed off with Chelsea and the way they handled it. I'll personally never really get over that, and why would I? I'm not in the game, I'm an emotionally invested supporter, we all would have accepted him leaving in the summer having gotten us into the Champions league (!!!!!!) and I get Alan Curbishley being gutted but pragmatic however he was always going to cross paths with Scott Parker again and can't burn bridges. Same with Lee Bowyer 

    I accept anyone telling me if another employer offered me 3 times my current salary to leave I'd be gone, however I dont have the whole company built around me and 26,000 people idolised me making it a harder decision. Football and real life cannot be compared 

    Whatever, I can be bitter and resentful towards Parker and Taylor professional people in football probably have to bite their lip

    AC snapped a little when someone in the audience shouted out wanker when Parker's name was mentioned even though he'd just explained why he went . You can see how tough AC probably was .

    They look like a boyband that's got together again. I wonder if they stood up for the middle eight like Westlife do.

    If they weren't, what a huge wasted opportunity to make a few bob for their funds.

    And an even bigger waste if they haven't got some to sell after the meeting!

    That bloke was in front of me, and I agree Curbs doesn't strike me as a man to fuck with. He's great at the punditry and clearly a very charming man but he shut everyone barracking about Parker up. 

    I'd never get involved in that as much as I bear a grudge against Scott Parker my respect for Alan Curbishley far outweighs my dislike for a bloke who made a decision I didn't like 21 years ago. 

    Lee Bowyer and Jacko had an amusing but predictable story about Marcus Maddison 

    The question about most difficult player was very cleverly swerved by the others

    Loved Lee's story of the Leeds United plane crash at Stansted in 1998, going back to Leeds after losing to West Ham.

    Many years ago my husband and I sponsored Curbs’ shirt and therefore got to chat with him about the Parker subject. This would have been a season or two after the incident. Curbs did admit at the time that he was very frustrated about it as it demonstrated there was a ceiling for a club like Charlton that could not be breached. Back then I felt he was quite fed up with Parker as well as Chelsea.

    No doubt about it, time is a healer though and whilst I'm still resentful about Parker the language I'd use now is a light year away from what I'd have used at the time

    Yes agree. Not sure I’ll ever feel the same re the 🐍 though.

    Didn't Curbs manage Parker at West Ham later on?
