Mystery player Cory Gibbs has been seen playing football for the Addicks. Admittedly it was only for 45 minutes behind closed doors at Sparrows Lane in a practice match against Palace, but there is actually a picture of him sulkily clutching at the goal nets: Gibbs
A club spokesperson said that his incognito appearance at Sparrows Lane should put to rest rumours that he had been abducted by space aliens or had been transferred to duties in the club shop.
Should Gibbs ever play in a competitive match, he will be the first graduate of an Ivy League University (Brown in Providence, Rhode Island) to play for Charlton. Brown is rather exclusive: one person was telling me in the States last week that they couldn't afford the fees for their children.

Fees for Brown are $44,000 for a school year. That's about $65,000 gross!
Interesting picture of Gibbs. A couple of years in sunny England seem to have affected his complexion.
Why?
They've changed the picture since I posted the link, it's now Varney (Luke not Reg). Not surprising they changed the picture as Gibbs looked really sulky as if he was trapped in the nets.
