    My mates were there on 4 mins, I was there but just out of shot.
    We didn't hang around General Gordon Square before.
    We had a few pints in the DG and tagged on towards the back as it went past  :)

    Attached to his shoulders.

    Or the pub was located on the corner of Woolwich Rd/ Anchor & Hope Lane. but today would be in the middle of the dual carriageway on Woolwich Rd.

    I was stationed abroad (Falklands) so I missed this historic fixture. Does anyone have any drone footage?

    Great video - Well done to Des Jones for filming it and his son for getting it to the museum. 

    Is that a couple of old players coming out of the station at around the 6:45 point? Looks like Eddie Marsh on the left but can’t pick out the guy on the right. I could be completely wrong though…..

    You were at the game and a Charlton fan but don’t know The Waterman’s Arms.

    You must have approach Charlton from Charlton Park then. 

    Bottom of Charlton Church Lane and Woolwich Road.  Was a picture of Peter Sutcliffe on wall of pub.

    Away coaches always parked just up the road towards The Anchor and Hope pub.

    Yeah we used to refer to him as Ken Bates too. Absolute ringer for him.

    Pretty sure Ken Bates had a motorcycle helmet with him most of the time as well or am I mixing him up with another punter from the Treagold and Wally supporters club coaches

    Sure I was on a coach once and we overtook him on the motorway, he was driving one of those big trike motorbikes.
