I'd forgotten just what an imposing physical presence George was on the pitch - he was tall (almost 6ft) and very well-built for a forward and yet had not a trace of the flab that was all too common in the "physical" players of that era.
All of which helped to put those opposing defenders out to "mark" him firmly in their rightful place. Bruised and floundering in the mud.
lol, charlie nicholas was the epitome of a footballing celebrity when he was at arsenal. the bloke spent his time in london out constantly partying, hence champagne charlie.
the guy is a cult hero in north london and unwavering to the arsenal cause but let's not fool ourselves here.
i think you'll find charlie was a bit of a celebrity himself, hitting up night clubs and asking for more money. eventually the club sold him because of that
Charlie George -like he says, came off the terraces and sometimes looked like the main reason he was running around the pitch in an Arsenal shirt was because it was the best way not to get ejected from the stadium...which is why we loved him so.
The man is a GooNeR, GUNNER, and a lovely geezer!! Didn't play for The Arsenal for as long as I wished... but, fuck me... WHAT A STAR, and GENTLEMAN!!!
players from the 70's are pure ledgends proper men with honour for the game no bullshit in there heads footballs best decade by far respect the lads!!!!!!!!
Charlie George you slag.Like a dirty whore you once ran off to find a richer sugar daddy.Now you've come back because he's done his dough. Let me translate:in 1974, derby was your pimp and Charlie his whore.

Born in a council flat in Holloway,
he's gonna play for England some fine day.
His name is Charlie George he's the greatest of them all,
and when he has a shot at goal you never see the ball.
Charlie, Charlie George king of the Highbury

You are an idiot - charlie was sold against his wishes in the days when the players had no say where they ended up - learn your history
