Terrible terrible news. RIP the Tank. I was gutted Curbs didnt (apparently) want to keep him and instead wanted Gary Rowett.I wasnt there but as I recall late in his last game for us at Old Trafford he was about to score and equaliser. Then Kevin Lisbie got in the way…2

On no ! Such devastating news !
Sleep tight, dear Jorge. You will be remembered fondly from the Addicks.0 -
Great player in a golden era for us, absolute class act, far too young to be taken
R.I.P. Tank0 -
Very sad news. One of my all time favourites despite his short stay. He had everything as a CB.
I think he would get into quite a few (not just CAFC or Porto) all time World best XIs.

Really sad news and like others have said he was a leader and no one beat him. Saw his debut at Stamford Bridge and his last game at Old Trafford2

Wow. Incredibly sad. What brilliant memories of seeing someone of his pedigree at the Valley. Way too young0

Awful news. He was easily the best centre back that I have seen in a Charlton shirt.

With the possible exception of Simonsen, I can't think of a player who has made such an impact at and for Charlton in such a short time? His arrival had the football world blinking in disbelief at little old Charlton, albeit for just a short while. The story of the journey from the airport is stuff of legend. He gave his all for the club and will always be loved by those of us that saw him.
We love you Tank.
RIP. 😢

Absolutely terrible news.
What a great defender he was for us 20 years ago, albeit over a few months.
I trust we will be singing his song on Saturday in honour of the great man.

Jorge played his final game for us at Old Trafford, last game of the season and a 0-0 draw.
By then he was unconditionally adored by all of us, and there was a moment in the second half when he ventured up field, and all of us wanted him to score and finish with a flourish, and I swear you could see on his face he was thinking the same.
Jorge didn't score, but at the end of the game when we were applauding our team, all the other players shoved him forward on his own to receive our unconditional adulation, which he acknowledged with modesty and class.
Today is an appallingly sad day, it was a privilege to see him play in our shirt.32 -

He needed us that season and we welcomed him with open arms

I was there, my Dad still recounts that moment regularly, it would've been the cherry on top of his faultless spell with us.PragueAddick said:Terrible terrible news. RIP the Tank.

Costa's time with Charlton is the epitome of quality over quantity.
His 26 appearances are remembered far more fondly and vividly than the countless mercenaries who've worn the shirt since.
Truly a class act.5 -
Wow, shocked by this. What a player he was for us. RIP Jorge0

Thats shocking such a classy player.0

Whenever I recount my favourite CAFC players that I have seen play live to date, there is just the one position and one player who always immediately comes to my mind and lips, a CB named Jorge Costa. Regardless of who the opponents were my stand out memory of watching the games Jorge played in was seeing him use every old trick in the book to man mark them out of the game while rattling the opposition forwards relentlessly.He was a tank, a warrior, a player who you would have thought was born, raised and played for Charlton for all his life, not merely on loan.
I am gutted he is gone, had quietly hoped he would come back to manage one day more probably out of the romance of it than natural fit, but that is no longer to be…
Rest in Peace, Jorge (27) and thank you for the finest of football memories x6
