Two Addicks in Chicago
I had a very nice lunch with Wyn Grant today. Wyn is no stranger to Chicago having first visited here in the 80's and as he remembered the city was a very different place then. You only had to leave your hotel to get shot at in those days, you need to travel quite a distance to get that sort of action now!
We sat in the sun by the glimmering Chicago River with a pint and swapped stories of becoming Addicks in different generations, the old Charlton, the new Charlton and of a Charlton in the future perhaps under different ownership.
It was a very nice way to spend an hour or two and as we parted we shook hands and left each other in the knowledge that we weren't alone, Wyn heading off to the British Consulate for drinks later and me back to work. Two blogs, two devoted Addicks. ¶ 18:22
