Charlton Athletic are devastated by the loss of one of our most loyal and recognisable faces, Norman Barker.
A true beacon of the Addicks faithful, home and away, ‘Headphones Norm’ will be dearly missed by all.

What a fucking man, this bloke was Mr Charlton.
Headphones Norm you will be missed at The Valley and away games.
My thoughts are with your family and friends ❤️
RIP to one of our own Headphones Norm 🙏🏻❤️ #OneOfOurOwn#cafc
Remember a few weeks ago when parents protested outside the Epping Hotel because they’d heard that a resident there had sexually assaulted a girl?
And remember how a bunch of people with "Stand up to Racism" banners turned up to protest against those parents?
Well, it turns out the parents were right. That man has now been convicted of sexually assaulting more than one person.
So to recap,
Stand Up To Racism supported a rapist. They protested against parents who were trying to protect their children from a rapist.
They did this because the people protesting the rape of women and girls were working class and white therefor they were automatically seen as racist.
This is the same story we've seen happen across the UK for the last 50 years. Working class people are not just not listened to. They are actively shouted down and vilified just for wanted to keep their children safe.
The annual Jordan Dawes tournament returns next Sunday 17th August.

Hail Sir Harvey Knibbs.

I was still in the army whilst the Afghans arrived. Settled in soldiers accommodation, driving unregistered vehicles around, dozens of men hanging around at all hours of the night. No women to be seen as kept inside. Military families felt unsafe - service wives afraid to leave their houses.
This has directly had an impact on military retention, and ruined marriages. Untold harm. Imagine being a private on £1600 a month when the man with 3 wives and 7 kids gets £5k+ as he leers at your wife.
This is a national disgrace.
