    What a fantastic man.
    He'll be England Manager at some stage in his career.I hope after he's cemented us as Prem regulars.!

    For the respect he got whilst he was a player on the pitch, for the work he did as the PFA Chairman for all those years and for the respect he's now getting as a Manager he should have been given an award long ago.

    Knighthood / OBE / MBE, Doesnt matter - HIS services to Football have been much more than what Steven Gerrard or David Beckham have EVER done

    Tremendous article - not sure if Mick Collins is a supporter or not, but always writes well about us. Great photographs as well.

    The story about the train trip to Hartlepool is astonishing - the first time I've heard that, and harks back to Garry Nelson's Left Foot Forward and some of the trips to games in his old car.

    Thanks for posting, AllHell. <ok>

    League One Managers (and some fans) TAKE NOTE before you wanna acuse us of buying the League

    Mick is a Charlton fan - didnt he use to write on the OS for a while ? or is it his son ?

    I love the quote at the end ' What happens if a big club comes in' - 'they have' - brilliant !

    Not often that there's an article I like from the daily malice, but this is an exception.

    Great piece and great end quote by Sir Chris.

    He is a fantastic supporter. If you want a good background to our latest glory years read his book The Rise and Rise of Charlton Athletic: From Portakabins to Porto Captains.

    It covers about ten years and was published before our recent demise, so great to read with hindsight.

    Makes ya proud! A Brentford pal of mine replied "Well so would we be if we could pay a million quid for a striker" when I celebrated being 10 points clear. The URL for this article shall be sent to him promptly ;-)
