Had the pleasure of taking the Stadium tour with Charlie as our guide. He is such a nice man and so down to earth. He still lives and breathes Arsenal. I strongly recommend doing the tour.
What an absolute ikon a one true football legend. Thank you Charlie for the incredible memories. As a Derby fan I am grateful for your time you spent here at the Baseball ground. An outstanding player 👏 👌
Did the tour with Charlie George a few weeks ago, not only an Arsenal legend but a genuinely lovely bloke too. If you are arsenal fan 'of a certain age' that remembers him from your youth then you'll love it (and him).
Watched him as a kid a roar used to ensue when he got the ball at his feet.. the double winners were a fabulous team and we won the league at white heart lane.. happy days.
Charlie was part of Arsenal’s double wining side, but not handled well by any club apart from Derby. I’m sure Clough even wanted to sign him, but a deal wasn’t made possible, so that shows how much he valued him and he knew a great player when he came across one. It should be acknowledged that many players are more consistent and rely on certain attributes to prolong their careers, but they rarely do anything to stand out or to show how good they really were. Charlie did that, because his talent was unique and nobody else was just like him. Charlton could hit a ball so hard, but Charlie used his special touch to direct it in ways which only a very great player could do and Platini comes into that idea. Michel was the best all round player I’ve ever seen and the difference with him and George is that he could hit a ball like Charlton; make it move towards targets which seemed so impossible to do, but his touch was so incredible to watch and none of the greats could compete with all he had to offer! He applied his personality into the way he performed, but importantly, he succeeded in offering the British game something which many others fail at and only because he was so clinical, but his touch a piece of magic out of nowhere. We’ve seen Stan Bowles; Marsh; Best; Hoddle and even Rooney, but none could achieve all he did and he did compete at the top until at least 32; winning the double with Arsenal- plus Fairs Cup; one cap for England; playing for league champs Derby and scoring not far off of one goal in two, although a midfielder;capturing the attention of Clough and playing so brilliantly for Southampton in 1982. Fans always will remember him, because he could entertain and scored so many great goals, but it was his special touch which stands him out and when he blasted the ball towards the goal, he was always able to make you wonder how he was able to find those angles so well. In my opinion, he’s up there with Platini on his touch, but tell me another person who could hit a ball so hard and with such a deft touch? Hoddle was fantastic, but George scored more great goals than even him and was definitely right up there with Best and Marsh, but it’s the ability to do something which stands a player out for entertainment value and talent which makes them unique and there’s nobody else like him. Hoddle will always be compared to the great Platini; Charlton to Rooney and a player like Shearer for how it could hit a ball, but nobody could be compared to George. Charlie didn’t just rely on power to score his goals; his touch was so delicate and I just don’t know how he did all he could do. That aspect must make him superior, because we all know how those other great players were able to perform so well!
Charlie George scored more great goals than Hoddle? Come on mate, I appreciate that you like CG, and he was a v good player, but Hoddle was a genius and scored astonishing goals far more than CG. A lot of what you say is accurate but don’t get carried away!!
Charlie George was unlike other great footballers; ones which achieved far more, because he showed that there was another way of playing the game and his talents will always be a mystery to me; not because it was wasted; only because it should be accepted that the great Clough and Revi noticed how great he was and so they both knew he had something to put their reputations on the line for. We've seen the greats and marvel at their brilliance, but George's talents can never be explained, so take a look at this and decide who is similar. Nobody is, because his touch defied his size and power. Did England and Arsenal mishandle him? They had a true great and failed to use his abilities to achieve far more. Arsenal never reached those heights again and until 1996; England failed to qualify for the World Cups in the 1970's, but this footage allows us all to see things which could easily have been lost forever. You don't have to like any of his former clubs or the man himself to enjoy this, because true talent is so entertaining and the reason why the game of football was once described as being beautiful. I think Charlie George did much more to include England in that too!
DPRK - Korean Reunification He could of been one of the worlds greatest players and should of been, he certainly had the ability my favourite player of all time and always will be, 1975 season at Derby until he dislocated his shoulder against stoke, even messI would of been astonished at how good King charlie was
Loved the guy especially at Derby. Age plays funny things to your memory,or is it just better to exagerate. IHe said he picked the ball up on the half way line and ran the lenght of the field? ( How come). Still loved the guy though. Showman!!!
Darling of the Northbank! After that Shanks said to Kevin Keegan who was sitting in the Stands, son they won it fair and square, but the likes of this won't happen to us again, why said Keegan? Because we've got you sonney! except in 77 mufc, it pretty much went to plan!
+GunnerGameReviewer22 Because im not happy they are not doing well.Yes i was happy at first but this season has been just too bad for them. They are losing by the way.
+GunnerGameReviewer22 They are level guess i was wrong about them. But well damage has been done. I guess we will only have three teams in UCL next season.
Is it weird that we call him a legend when he scored 31 in 133 thats a ratio of 0.23 goals per match but if our players score 1 in 4 (which is better than his stats 0.25) they get called shit?
Trigga Rackso Look up his goal against Liverpool in the 1971 FA cup final.That one game is why he's considered a legend. Plus Robbie isn't exactly going to say 'Charlie George the former average arsenal player.' lol. That would be disrespectful.
I'm from Argentina, I met Charlie in 2012 when I visited the Emirates stadium and he signed my Arsenal souvenir. That's my little story.😀
He gave me a tour round the Emirates. Such a decent guy. True Legend.
he gave me one too. Damn right he's a legend
Nacho Monreal. saw him sitting alone in a bookies in highbury & islington 😉 sad

Had the pleasure of taking the Stadium tour with Charlie as our guide. He is such a nice man and so down to earth. He still lives and breathes Arsenal. I strongly recommend doing the tour.
