Chas Callaghan RIP

Many of you who knew Charlie (Chas) Callaghan will have heard the very sad news of his recent passing, aged 65.

A Bees fan par excellence and music quiz legend.

The funeral is next Tuesday, 12th May at Hanworth Crematorium (Ogden Suite) at 4.00 pm...

... and afterwards at the Brewery Tap, Brentford.

All are very welcome to attend. The family have requested no flowers but you are encouraged to wear bright clothes (eg football shirts).

Chas, you'll be fondly remembered by all your friends from the Tap and the Griffin over the last 50 years.

RIP. Didn't know him personally. Was he 'make it yours' near the front of the old Royal Oak many years ago? Same chap also wore a very long red and white scarf hanging outside his coat, at GP.

Think that you are talking about a different gent... I believe I know the chap you referred to, he did indeed have a very long (slightly orange-red) scarf with lotsa badges on it. He is still around.... I assume he's still been coming to games in the intervening years.... I saw him behind Ealing Rd goal earlier this season, for the first time in ages.

Chas was a very big man back in the 60s/70s, but had sensibly manage to lose much of the excess weight in recent years.

RIP Chas.

I first met him when I was part of the supporters club quiz team.

Think Spider may know him well from travelling to Bees away games in the early to mid 70's.

Yes I remember Chas on many of the Tony Ewers specials. Big fella was Chas always wondered what happened to him these last years

Apologies to the gent I described, if he's a GPGr (or even if he's not).

I knew Chas really well but haven't seen him for many years. He was passionate about the Bees and would take a sickie from work to travel up to places like Hartlepool for a Tuesday night game. This is very sad news. RIP big fella....

RIP Chas

I have known him for many years as a friend, workmate, dart player and of course fellow Bees supporter. Lots of stories about him. If any of you know Craig ask him about the time he picked him up, one handed, by the throat in the Brewery tap, so funny.

Chas was one of those people that always had time for others, I shall miss him. The world will be a poorer place with his passing.

So long mate from both myself and Jayne.

Condolences to family & friends. RIP mate
 

Chas Callaghan RIP

Sincere condolences to Chas's family and friends at this sad time.

It seems ironic that at this time of success for the club so many stalwart fans are joining the Bees supporters in heaven.

RIP.

Bumped into him in the Brewery Tap only a few weeks ago. Great bloke. Very sad news.
 

Chas Callaghan RIP

Very sad news, Knew Charlie many years when he used to have his legendary parties in the late 60s at his house even if his record collection was a bit dodgy.
Take care mate always in our thoughts.
 

Chas Callaghan RIP

Goodbye Charlie. Well remembered from the Sixties, a legend of the then "Bees Club". Always the centre of attraction, a big character in all senses of the word. R.I.P.
 

Chas Callaghan RIP

Very sad have fond memories of Charlie back in the sixties when
we used to congregate around Pete Gilams pad above Performance cars . A lovely chap with a great sense of humour haven't seen him for years but memories remain of a diamond geezer RiP

Chas Callaghan RIP

Thanks for attaching the article Hobbsy.

I first met Charlie in the late 60's, on the coaches to Brentford away matches. A great bloke, who I am proud to count as a mate of over 40 years.

The above article featured in the national press around 1968/1969..

RIP old mate.
 

Chas Callaghan RIP

Forgot to mention, with all the quiz teams I was with him and all the quizzes he used to do I thought I would nominate him for my phone a friend on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". When it came for me to phone a friend I get them to ring Chas and believe it or not he didn't know the answer to the question. I gave him a bit of stick for that but looked after him for trying to help.

R.I.P. again mate, sorry I had to miss your funeral.
