Proud to say the guy with the glasses and beard in the middle is my best mate Owen. I took him to his 1st game, which was the last at Upton Park against Newcastle. He was 22 when he moved to New Zealand for 6 months, met his wife and never left
Fantastic that you guys get together for a few beers. Did any of you manage to get back for Wembley last year?
None of us on the photo went to Wembley. @jamescafc (who’s currently living in Vietnam), did fly back for the big game. Hoping to have him back in Auckland soon.

He’a right, the love for the mighty reds has never stopped since i moved to NZ. Cheers Pete 👍
Can we have names to faces and how they ended up in Auckland?
Saj, Peter, Stuart, Owen (me), Peter, Christian. I went to NZ back is 1999 for a 1 year holiday, loved it and stayed. 21 years for me now. Started supporting Charlton aged 14, home and away trips with this great bloke https://forum.charltonlife.com/profile/maidstoneaddick old North stand, F-block season ticket holders and regular song starters. Curbs era, promotion and relegation joys/sadness. Was at Wembley when we beat Sunderland to go up to the Prem. Met this fine group of Addicks over the years here in Auckland, flying the flag from 12000 Miles away.
David Beckham and his croneys dined at the Monsoon Poon in Wellington when the LA Galaxy played An exhibition game here a few years ago. That’s not very interesting is it.
I have a friend in New Plymouth who supports Charlton and he always fits in a visit to The Valley or Canterbury (Kent) or even both occasionally, dependent on the season, when he is in England. How close is New Plymouth to Auckland? I just know that both are North Island.

I didn’t know that it was a chain. Apart from the firecracker chicken, the rest of the food we had was amazing and I would certainly visit again.
