Charles, with his inexhaustible supply of energy, is rooting for Arsenal when he isn’t motivating his own team.

A pity his enthusiastic approach doesn’t work with fish – despite numerous attempts, he has yet to catch a trout, let alone a salmon.  Although he did catch a piranha during his first trip up the Amazon and is now known as "the white Huaorani" following his second adventure in search of undiscovered tribes in the jungles of Ecuador.

Having survived his first London marathon in a vain attempt to get fit, he spent time in the jungles of Papua with the stone-age Korowai and Kombai, none of whom had ever seen a white man before.  Although practising cannibals, he was clearly too tough for their taste and survived the adventure - narrowly avoiding a native tempted to shoot his bow and arrow first and ask questions later! 

In search of truly undiscovered people, he was temporarily kidnapped in Mamberamo by an unknown tribe where he found that not all natives are friendly.  Undeterred, he is planning to go hunting with the Yanomami in Venezuela at the end of 2007.
