Welcome to RHF: In The Spotlight. I am FezNTFC, and i will be asking questions about the members of RHF. The questions are interesting, crazy, whacky, serious, personal, intimate, and some are just downright rude!!
In the finale of our double header, please welcome, Lukiebakercafc!

Personal:
What is your name?
Luke Baker
How old are you?
17
Which city/town/village do you currently live in?
A pooty commuter town called Welling in South East London. Nothing special about it and i can't wait to get out.
Tell us one thing we don't know about you?
I've broken my left arm 3 times - which some of you probably already know but i have also sprained my ankle, broken various fingers, had my tooth come through my lip which was agony. Basically i should look after my body better...
Have you got an "Other Half"?
I do. I've been dating a lovely Chelsea fan called Claire for about 3 months - i try not to hold the glory-hunting against her but...
What school do you go to?
Bexley Grammar School, about a 25 min walk from my house
What subjects do you study and what are your favourite ones?
I do the International Baccalaureate, internationally recognised alternative to A-Levels where you do 6 subjects. I do English, Spanish, History, Maths, Chemistry and Theatre Studies. I guess my favourites are English and Spanish - well i hope to study them at Uni anyway.
What is your Goal in life?
Bloody hell - profound question. I definitely want to get married and have kids and i think that's more important to me than work or anything else. Never really thought about it before to be honest, RHF makes you think about things you wouldn't normally... great place.
What is your favourite:
Band?
Um... Coldplay i guess, mainly due to limited options.
Album?
You all know about my 'avowed disinterest in music' as Stealth once put it and i've never bopught an album or a single, or even downloaded any. So, i don't have a favourite album, i don't even think i could name 10 albums... (Ben is horrified )
Film?
Love the Italian Job, brilliant British stuff. The Godfather is also immense, classic gangster film - although i find Brando annoying in it. Please don't make me choose...
TV Programme?
I loved Life on Mars but at the moment either Doctor Who or Heroes - worth the licence fee alone. Both great dramas.
Dinner Guest?
Good question. I would say the Pope but there may be language difficulties if Bismarck wasn't there and i think he'd be boring... I think probably a dictator, maybe Hitler (i'm ignoring language issues now . I want to know if he was crazy and also learn from his genius. Fascinating to see what's going on inside his head...
Meal?
Keep it simple, classic, home-made roast dinner, with yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes etc. Followed by rhubarb crumble with custard - delicious.
Celebrity partner?
Probably Scarlett Johansson although Pij would probably fight me for her. Curves in all the right places - absolutely gorgeous.
Football:
Who is your favourite Charlton player ever?
I really liked Scott Parker but he's a twat (his departure still rankles - cockhead). I'll go for Mark Kinsella - captain when we got promoted to the Prem for the first time, a real trier but skillful as well.
Who is your favourite current Charlton player?
Tough one - i really liked Paddy McCarthy and Andy Reid but they both left... so, Luke Varney perhaps but Jonjo Shelvey, 16 yr old midfielder has the potential to become my favourite in years to come...
What was your first football match? Score? Where was it? ect
Mid to late 90's some time against Stockport at the Valley. Charlton won with Phil Chapple grabbing a goal i think.
Your favourite Charlton memory?
Easy - 25th May 1998. Charlton vs Sunderland play off final - 4-4 after extra time and Charlton win in sudden death. Medonca (a lifelong Sunderland fan) scored a hat-trick and the Mackems were gutted
Your worst Charlton memory?
I guess relegation 2 seasons ago - especially as there was a false dawn when Pards took over... Honourable mention for losing 6-1 to Leeds at home as well
Opposition player you love to despise?
Not a player but Simon Jordan is the orangest cunt ever to grace this Earth. A complete twat who i would love to land a right hook on.
Best goal you've ever seen live?
Robin Van Persie at the Valley a couple of seasons ago - rankled even more as he should have been sent off earlier.
Worst blunder you've ever seen live?
Darren Randolph and Paddy McCarthy own goal embarrassment last season. I had to laugh or i'd have cried.
Do you play for a team yourself? Who are they? What league are you in?
Never played for a team (most people on here don't seem to have) but i've played Rugby to county level and play for a Cricket club as well.
RHF:
Why did you join RHF?
Saw an advert on 606 - which i'd only joined a week before and tha was the first forum i'd ever been on. Looked at it and thought why not, sorta grew from there.
First Impressions of RHF:
Scared to be honest. I did the annoying sign-up and then logged-in and saw a thread with my name on it!!! I was a bit freaked out - went in and 2 people were already welcoming me. I didn't know what to make of it but posted. Little did Sam and Olly know what a legend i would become... *cough cough*
Who is your favourite RHF member and why?
I was determined not to bottle a question but... I know it's cliched but i love talking to you all in different circumstances. Fez and Pij are great to have a laugh with, Ben is superb for a debate, Bissy and Arover are great for general talk, Stealth is great when considering a theory, Sam is good for Championship footy, Olly and Tyler for computer games etc. The list goes on. I can't decide...
What is your favourite thread on RHF?
I loved the Philosophy thread, as Ben said you can use long words without feeling pretentious there.
In a fight to the death between you, Pij, Hallmackem and Tyler, who would come where and why?
Oooo - i've been wondering who you'd group me with. Right well Tyler would think we're all ganging up on him and he'd go off sulking, out first. Pij strikes me as a pacifist and too nice to attack, he'd be making jokes to slow us down for a while but eventually i'd finish him. There would then be an epic battle between me and Ben, he would use his Northern guile and cunning and long scientific or musical words to scare me. However, i'd respond with general annoyingness refusing to agree with him, using my Boxing and NFL info to make him apprehensive and threatening to kill Richard Dawkins. Eventually it would be a draw as we call a truce and move on to another subject but reminisce about this great struggle
Questions from the Members:
How do you think Charlton will do this season?
Tricky one - we have the potential to do well but we also are inconsistent as monkey's. I'm gonna say we will scrape into the play-offs and from there, who knows...
Have you had all your jabs for going to Tanzania? We don't want you to catch anything!
Haha, nice to know i'm appreciated by my fellow RHFers. I have had all my jabs. Hep A, Hep B (2 injection course), Typhoid, Yellow Fever, DPT and Rabies (three injection course). Oh and Malaria tablets. I think i'm pretty well protected...
If you could change one rule in football, what would it be?
Great question, kudos to the asker. Could clear the offside rule up or bring in a quota for home-grown players but i would like a salary cap to sort out the stupid wages.
Alan Pardew. Your opinions please?
In the balance - this season is crucial. I want to back him and he's got the track record at this level but some dodgy transfer moves and some frankly delusional post-match comments worry me...
Were you close to suicide when Karl Henry scored in the 95th minute and practically ruined your play-off hopes?
Definitely one of the low points of the season. When it went in i thought poo Sam's gonna wreck me for that It was gutting, i was closer to killing Nicky Weaver than suicide though
Do you think Wolves will do the double over you again this season?
Not a prayer Samantha, we'll scrape a draw Seriously, Wolves are a good team and i would accept them doing the double over us in exchange for promotion. It won't be easy to get wins in our 2 games.
