Oatway retires

[sullyshuffle]

Another true legend departs....may not have been blessed with the skill of some of the others, but he gave his all for the club over his years with the club.
Thank you Charlie..we will always remember you!
Al the best for the future...hope you continue to have success!

Not unexpected but I hope the club have the decency to grant him a testemonial match.

I would love to see that happen. Him coming clean over his reading showed he is far more than just a 'great character' to have around. I hope he continues behind the scenes and the club and he look after eachother.

Thanks for everything Charlie!!

Thanks for everything Charlie Oatway. I hope you continue in football, in some capacity.

Albion legend, and an example for young players to aspire to become.

Charlie Oatway, superhero.
Epitomised the Albion.

Sad news. I wish him all the best in his new role. As others have said, his ability was limited, but when he arrived at the club he provided what had been missing for many years in the team: backbone. For that reason alone he played no small part in two successive promotions, and I will always remember him fondly.

He is going to work in the Football in the Community scheme.

I am sad it has come to this but agree with other comments that we have had some great moments with Chas over the years. His dvd Charlie's diary of the playoffs was hilarious.
It is good that he has a job with the club and I know he will be a great success with it because he is a people person.

agree 100%
