Bit of an odd one but I know a relative of his who would like to know a bit about his playing days. Was he any good? Did he have any chants for him? funny stories at away games that sort of thing. Was at Tykes for 10 years, local lad signed on as an apprentice, Left Back. Cheers.
Good player - bad injury finished his career - never the same player Nice lad as well - we lived next door tohis grandad and he popped in now and again to say hello. Think he wasnicknamed Charlie - I always thought he looked Charlie Chaplin - not sure if that's the reason though!
RE: Good player - bad injury finished his career - never the same player Haha cheers, this is the sort of thing I'm after, where did his Grandad live btw?
RE: Good player - bad injury finished his career - never the same player Also was this injury at Barnsley or one of his later clubs?
He indeed was named Charlie for his resemblence to Charlie Chaplin. He was a little **** with black hair a black 'tache.</p> To be fair on Charlie he did very well for the reds before his injury and then the emergence of John Beresford made it even more difficult for him to get back in.</p> He was definitely a fans favourite of time.</p> He went on to do courses as a physio in the Hartlepool and Darlington area. I think he went to Darlington after us.</p> My old man still speaks to him regularly and I think he's still a physio.</p>
RE: He won player of the year one year There a link to a list of these? Didn't realise he was that well thought of! Keep them coming. Dunno how his relative will take to him being called a little ****!
RE: He indeed was named Charlie He was physio at Darlo for quite some time. He did work on my knees and we had some good chats about BFC. Nice bloke. Not sure about his physio skills though as I'm undergoing a series of knee surgeries now!!
RE: He indeed was named Charlie He used to come into the bank Ionce workedfor to pay his salary in. Seemed nice enough when I chatted to him.
RE: He indeed was named Charlie Paul works for the same company as me. He is assistant lesiure club manager at Redworth hall hotel in Co Durham. a top lad, who loved his time at the `well,speaks affectionalty of the club and its supporters and will be coming down to a game soon. He got his name charlie - from bobby collins always calling him a right charlie in training.
RE: He indeed was named Charlie I always thought it was because he had the same hair style as Charlie Nicholas at one bit!
i also know a relative of his Dont suppose same one? Jack - not sure how he was related though. My dad did some decorating for him once as well when he lived up Penistone - Paul gave me a signed team picture.
I played football with both his brothers in the late eighties. Their Kev was one of the hardest centre halves in local football. Ask Jedi One.
