As posted on the Charlton Life forum:

"I have been to every home match bar a handful since my first match against Brighton and Hove Albion as a sixth birthday present in 1960 and like others I went around the back of the west stand on a number of occasions to join in
the chants of 'Gliksten Out' at various times during his stewardship of the club. My dad blamed him for our failure to recapture the glories of the past and for not investing in The Valley and was always telling me up to his death that we could have been as big as Arsenal if we had invested at the right times in the stadium and the team.

I can't comment on the problems there were when we bought The Valley back from Gliksten as I wasn't at the club but one of the things that occurred to me when I worked with Rick Everitt on the excellent centenary dvd he
produced with David Moss was that it was sad that someone whose family had run the club for half of its' existence and who was now in his later years felt unable to come back to The Valley or be a part of the dvd.

I was therefore one of those who persuaded him to come to a match. I took him on a tour of The Valley and he wanted to see every last piece of the stadium and as he stood on the pitch surveying The Valley tears rolled down his face. He told me he felt it what had happened was a miracle and he was full of praise for Roger Alwen and Richard Murray in particular for what they had achieved. He said he felt he was unpopular with some board members and the supporters and was nervous attending the match but that Charlton remained the first result he looked for and that he had put significant sums of money into the club during his stewardship and only wanted good for the club.

History will judge him on that of course. I took him to see Keith Peacock and Paddy Powell and they immediately both hugged him and called him 'Mr Michael' and spent ages recounting stories from the past and in Paddy's case
how he had been screwed to the floor on wages!. Again he got very emotional. I asked him to come to the boardroom for a drink but he declined. He came to a match once again with the Former Players Association and I sense he has gone to his grave a happier man as a result of his two visits to The Valley.

In my view his passing should be a time to forget any past hostilities and it should be recognised with black arm bands against Plymouth but that is a decision for the board. This is a time to act with dignity and humility and
not recrimination and to do things in the Charlton way."
