Those tea picture cards are of the 1970 squad. http://www.doingthe92.com/cards/display_card_team_set.asp?step=175&ID=5&sid=69 And are at least 4 years after number 20 and they're looking a bit trendier with their Beatle cuts so I'm going with the Kiers vote but don't put your house on it, I have been known to be wrong
Cannot be Highfield Road in 66/67 - Billy Bonds was our right back. Bob Curtis stepped up when Bonzo moved to WHU in May 67. The picture is from FAC3 27 Jan 68 CCFC 3-0 CAFC att 25267.
20 is definitely John Keirs a stalwart standby who used to lodge in Kinveachy Gardens with the gifted Alan Campbell and a young apprentice called John Bingham.
Looks like Stamford Bridge to me, although the little blurred forward on the move bears a marked resemblance to Ernie Hunt (he of the fancy free kicks). I like Bob Curtis' laid back approach.
I respectfully concur with the view of others - an absolutely great thread. Theo Foley's coat is vintage (did his mum send him over in that ?) and Graham Moore looks as hard as I remember him. He wouldn't have looked out of place in some of the classic British films of the 60s - perhaps a rugby player in 'This Sporting Life'. I always enjoyed, and had a sense of pride in, seeing Graham Moore play for Wales in the Home Internationals in the days when only a handful of games were live on telly.
There were, as in any era, several much loved players (including Treacy, Tees, Peacock and Curtis) but my first Charlton hero and the guy who really captured my 10 year old imagination (coming in towards the end of the 1960s) was Alan Campbell. The man was perpetual motion, could go past players, had an excellent range of passing and was tigerish in the tackle. A great shame he never fulfilled his full potential and got to play for his country.
Great pictures also of the Valley in the old days. A reflection of the Glikstens' profound lack of ambition for the club and just how far we've come, even allowing for improvements in the last 30 years. A good sense of perspective for all of us. If John Sunley was alive today, one thing he certainly would no longer be able to refer to would be the "superior facilities" of Selhurst Park.
