This afternoon's match against Portsmouth was suspended on 13 minutes after a medical emergency in the Covered End. Medics responded quickly and the players were taken off. A fan was stretchered off. My thoughts and those of all fans are with them and their relatives and friends. Fans were asked to be patient in an announcement.
A saddened Big Dave Lockwood announced that the match had been abandoned.
I have to say that I found this a very upsetting development. I did not know Norman 'Headphones' Barker but he was an Addick through and through and some heartfelt tributes have been paid to him on social media.
Charlton Museum have stated that he was delighted to receive his Supporter of the Year award from Nathan Jones this summer.
He was a season ticket holder for 35 years and a promotional video by him can be seen on X.
