A message from the family of Norman Barker

'

The family of Norman ‘Headphones’ Barker, a beloved brother and uncle, would like to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to the many people who have responded so kindly and movingly to the news of his sudden and unexpected passing.

The Charlton Athletic community was Norman’s second family. He was thrilled to have won the 2024/25 Colin Cameron Supporter of the Year award, bringing his trophy to our most recent family party at the time. He was quite clearly a cherished Charlton fan, a friend to many, and very obviously, well loved.  

Norman died doing what he loved so dearly. We, the family, are all truly astounded by the heartfelt tributes, thoughts and prayers that he has received, from the Charlton community and beyond. Your kind words will bring our family much peace and comfort in the difficult times that we will inevitably have to face in the future, now that Norman has left us.

Again, to you all, thank you - it really does mean so much to our family.
