In April 2020, we asked current Charlton caretaker boss Johnnie Jackson about his music tastes.
Jackson has been at Charlton since 2010, racking up 247 appearances and 51 goals before retiring in 2018 and has been an ever present member of the coaching staff ever since.
Outside of football, JJ is a big fan of his music, plays the guitar and sings as well as he played football.
