Charlie lived the rare dream of every kid growing up in Islington and went from watching on the terraces at Highbury to playing for The Arsenal; the club he loved. Adored by the supporters in a way that only a local lad putting on the shirt can be. He was a player who caught the bus home after a match, or sat with fans in local pubs to discuss the game he had just played. A uniquely talented and graceful footballer as well as an outspoken rogue with Led Zep hair who never shied away from a scrap. An Arsenal and Islington legend who still works at the club and can be seen around the borough on any given day.
