Yeah Dan just found the pic. He looks just as cool only bigger and bald lol. I was told bitd by one of his team mates that a French kid pulled a knife on him and was trying to intimidate Charlie at a ice skating rink and Charlie just knocked the French kid out cold .

Sound about right but he was a great chap on the track full of life and alway up for a big jump used to knock around with the Spiers family as well was his track hayes or hounslow ? what ever he was R9 form memory ?

Myself and jazzyje did a meeting for Brixton about eighteen months back, Charlie turned up signing race jerseys etc for the kids, and would talk to any body about his race days to anyone who would listen. It was good to see him again

I met Charlie at a Brixton meeting a couple of years ago. He presented the trophies to the riders. He was in amazing condition (six-pack to die for!!) and was as large as life as I'd heard he was. He declined a ride on a cruiser saying that if he nibbled the track again he'd be hooked and as he left as #1 he wasn't coming back to be an also ran. Reckoned if a top-line sponsor offered him backing he could be persuaded. I've got his signature on my Cheyenne race shirt and my youngest's STAATS racetop and bike. Top geezer!! Humps

Charlie was also at the Peckham Fun Race in october 2005 not long after the Bournemouth reunion. I remember him doing a full X-up over the water jump at Buckmore whilst leading a moto once, & also 360ing the whoops in the snow at Herne Bay BITD!!!

The maddest thing Charlie ever did was 720'ing the massive double at the worlds track in the south of France near Marseille in (I think) 1990.
The dubs were huuuuge. The track was so soft that not many people could even make it over them never mind trick the things. Charlie just appeared from nowhere in practice and lofted over the gimps that couldn't even clear them and 720'd em.
The crowd went nuts.........

Tha track was absolutely dire. A few of us didn't even care about the racing cos the track was so bad so we went off swimming in the sea at Cassis.
We went down in Charlie's car (gold 7 series BMW with a boomerang aerial on the back!) with his mate Manny (Emmanuelle?. What happened to him?)
Anyway, Charlie pops the boot of the car at the beach and him & Manny pull out harpoon guns to catch some fish while we were swimming
