    I believe Dave Shipperley went into the police and investigated that murder in Kenya 20 years ago which is in the news again. Expect he's retired by now.

    Arthur Horsfield became a steward of a club in Gravesend but that was also some time amo

    John Robinson is a 100% Charlton legend and deserves every success, which he will no doubt have in the States.
    He was a player who never shirked and when you see some of the slime that represents football in the top flight with their off field shenanigans-Robbo is a great example of someone who did/does nothing but good for the beautiful game refreshing news indeed.
