Charlie Oatway

[clarkey]

Anyone else see him, when it was all kicking off at the end of the first half, run down the touchline towards the Pompey bench with a clenched fist telling them to 'shut the f*** up'?

I was sitting in the stand and I was petrified.

He did and good on him as they were right whinging tossers the lot of them.

loved charlie v charlton.... definitely heard the fourth official tell char " dont you speak to me like that!"..... still a little devil eh.. bless him

 

[Sheebo]

And having people like him about is just class. It's no secret he's a lover of banter in the dressing room etc too

I also think its his job, so Poyet doesn't cop the flack. He's like an old fashioned Sargeant Major - doing all the drilling etc..
He reminds me of the guy in Officer and a Gentlemen - when he got Mayonaise (Richard Gere) through his training - defo legend

 

[JBizzle]

He is perfect on the bench for us. Passionate and not afraid to rile and piss off opposition.

Loved him as a player, love him as a coach.

There is this derogatory 'jobs for the boys' tag linked with out setup, but Oatway, Butters, Rogers, Watson et al appear to do sterling jobs. Very unfair.

Oatway is a class act.

So true and what a great idea!

I love the story about him being named after the entire 1972 QPR side, none of which are called Charlie. So he has 11 names and he still gets a nickname cos 'he looks like a Charlie'

 

[Seagullible]

top bloke and vital part of the coaching team. VERY passionate but also knows how to get a good spirit within the squad

 

[Rookie]

Honestly thought he was going to lamp someone on their bench and good on him

 

[Albalbion]

yeah saw that, there was a chant of 'charlies gonna get ya!' went up.... i started that

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

It was right in front of us and was brilliant to watch, he was so fired up! Same old feisty Charlie

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I had flashbacks from the old days, when he used to do that when he was playing. Good to see the fire is still in his belly, watch out Charlie going to get ya!
