    Terrible news, Chris was my godfather and had been very ill for a long time.

    Was living in Lowerstoft I think, I know my mum still keeps in touch with his wife Barbara.

    RIP

    This is really sad news, it was Chris who took me to my first Charlton game back in 1968. I have a picture of him in an old copy of Voice of The Valley along with a photo of the coach travellers on an away trip to Middlesborough Nov 1970. He never knew that I became a real fan and that now my husband daughters and grandchildren all have season tickets - Thank You Chris for taking a little 12 year old girl to The Valley x

    Sad news.

    I knew Chris very well all throughout the 70s, first as a regular on the Lewises away coach with his wife Barbara - then when we formed LAC Rovers. Along with his brother Tony, we played football together for several seasons in the Woolwich & District League; Chris was our centre back and skipper, and his wholehearted style took no prisoners.

    As others will know, Chris was a real character and brought colour to every away trip.
    It's brought back a flood of memories.

    Thinking of his family too.

    Always stood in the same spot in the covered end with his gang, half-way down the covered end, stayed there with his scarves on when Millwall and Chelsea visited etc. His wife was a real sort if I remember rightly.

    RIP

    Has anyone got a picture of Chris that they could put up? I probably know him by sight. I would just like to put a face to the name.


    RIP

    VM Chris was a bit of a lump, had a tash ,loads of scaves hanging off a belt with loads of badges on and as indicated above was with a lady who was a bit of a looker.

    If you ever went to an away game in the 70z you would have stood somewhere near him.

    I haven't seen Chris for over 30 years, but will always remember him as a larger than life character and a fervent Charlton supporter. RIP old friend.

    As far as I remember, yes. In the ground, some 'brave' Brummie threw a cup of tea at Chris from the other side of the fence. He was not happy - and wanted to dismantle the fence first and then the fan.
