Live in USA but parents both Irishhailing from Dublin. Mom was from Cabra and Dad from Swords....grew up in SE7 and SE3 until aged 24 moved to US. Was on a footie tour back in 2003 in Dublin with my American footie team and bumped into a Charlton fan from Swords who used to fly into City of London Airport for games. I don't know if he is on this thread
I know a Brian that lives in Swords and flys over for games.
And his brother Pod, although not as regularly as Brian. First met them many years ago at our pre-season trip to Ireland. We played UCD and I had travelled over on my own to see the game before heading to Tipp to see my mum and then up to Belfast to see da's family. Got chatting to the lads at that match as they took pity on me being on me own.
Got my one and only speeding ticket on the way back from Belfast to Dublin airport to drop the hire car off and meet a few mates for the remaining games of the tour. Came round a bend in the road and the Gardai were all lined up pulling people over. In those days, that road went from single lane, to dual carriageway to motorway and then back again and everyone sped along at the motorway limit.
Guard: Now then Patrick (reading my middle name off my driving licence and ignoring my first name). Do you realise that you were doing 45 in a tirty zone?
Me: (thinking: geez, Guard, if you'd stopped me a minute ago I was doing 90!)
If you and any of the others who have just had badges want to donate something, happy for you to give a little to the Trust. I was looking to see whether the Upbeats fundraiser was still open, but it seems to be the 2020 one on the site. Just say you're Charlton Irish!

Irish Addicks , the museum have received a very generous donation of framed shirts recently. A number of them are Ireland international shirts and are signed by Charlton players. We will be selling some of them to raise funds. I will keep you posted if interested.

Further to my earlier posts here is a few pictures of some of the framed shirts we have. Squad signed ( 14 players ) Ireland international shirt , long sleeved Adidas. The frame measures , Height 32in width 36in. Got to do a bit of research on it , what year do we think this is ?

We also have an Irish rugby shirt , signed by the squad. Any idea what year this would be from ?
