He left behind a big family at Erith and we all miss him massively.Buttershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05946295157389248752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-24570995476549418792011-12-07T15:38:03.850+00:002011-12-07T15:38:03.850+00:00was saddened to hear this recently, a real old sch...was saddened to hear this recently, a real old school legend was Pittsy. Always looked out for us 'scarfers' when we were kids. First remember him helping us out at Reading station back in about 1980, dont think there was a fan who didnt know him for about 20 years. <br /><br />Top man, RIP SelwynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-85152241151266231182011-12-05T22:26:25.555+00:002011-12-05T22:26:25.555+00:00I went to school with mark he was in the year belo...I went to school with mark he was in the year below I don't know if this is widely known but mark was originally an arsenal fan but very quickly converted to charlton He was a great bloke when I heard the news I was shocked and deeply saddened<br />mark you will always be remembered you were and always will be a real Charlton legend<br />RIP big fella you will be missedRed Alannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-76699785430112486572011-12-03T10:40:03.035+00:002011-12-03T10:40:03.035+00:00my abiding memory was away at Watford very early 8...my abiding memory was away at Watford very early 80's. All kicked off on the way back with Arsenal, first at Euston then later at Charing Cross. Got on a train, looked back to see a door open, Arsenal supporter come flying out followed swiftly by Selwyn big boot. Two minutes later Selwyn running down the platform brandishing a 10 foot scaffold pole as the same Arse fan exits onto the tracks and away in the distance.<br />RIP Pittsypetenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-43987565397855054952011-12-02T21:26:49.041+00:002011-12-02T21:26:49.041+00:00Nick - yes mate.

Suffice to say he was always there when you needed him and he was proper Charlton.<br />My thoughts are with his family at this sad sad time.

Funniest moment for me was when we were escorted the mile or so from the station to Newcastle's ground in the early 80's (we lost 4-1) All the geordies came out of their pubs to stare/intimidate us. Pittsy just stared back and carried eating his grapes contained in a brown paper bag. Legend.

He was "Proper Charlton" he loved Charlton. Always stood by his mates. He'll be greatly missed.ThamesmeadIronshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02990622777767145507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2740923946598832694.post-73482276042264250212011-12-02T02:32:06.081+00:002011-12-02T02:32:06.081+00:00RIP Mark.
