I was deeply saddened to hear today of the death of one time club photographer, Tom Morris. He started covering Charlton in 1969.
Tom was a fellow pupil at St. Margaret's Church of England Primary School, although a couple of years ahead of me. He lived very close to me in Ennis Road.
Rick Everitt summed it up well: 'news today of Tom's death is a terrible end to a rotten year. He was both a good friend and a great photographer. Tom leaves us a rich legacy of CAFC images covering decades.'
That will be a very fitting and continuing memorial.

Garry Nelson tweeted from a former player's perspective: 'So talented and so unassuming. Always took our endless teasing with patience and good humour.'
