Just to to say it's part 2 of 4 car loads and the lift wasn't working
Still no chance of getting a photo of this chap lads ?
We have asked the family but were told there was none suitable. I'm told he liked his own company. Any regular away traveller in the early 70's must of known him by sight. There wasn't many of us in those days.
Single, jumped ship from palace to Cafc and retired from a bank at 42. Sounds like a very clever and wise guy to me. Being a Cafc fan has never had any logic when most of us have family, friends and acquaintances who support more "successful" teams.
It's a calling and John caught the Charlton bug. Memories from the lows, more lows, highs, lows and more lows.
You have to be special to be a Charlton fan; maybe special isn't the right word !
Anyone know the score, scorers, attendance, line ups for this game?
Had a quick check online, zilch.
Might have to ask Paddy himself. He might have a local newspaper cutting, scrapbook, etc?
PS: This being Charlton Life, you can bet there's a Lifer or someone known to him who actually went to the game? Anything in Colin Cameron's records, perhaps?

Couldn't find the game in Colin's book and no details on the museum's spreadsheet of first, reserve and youth games.
According to thefootballarchives, the score was 4-1 to Charlton and the attendance was 639. Barnet goal scored by one Vic Cogger. No info on the Charlton lineup or scorers. I think the link will only work if you have an account (be warned - the site is a serious time-thief).
On multiple copies of the same programme , maybe collectors could explain to me why you would have this many copies of the same one. John must have loved Plymouth
John may have bought batches of programmes needing only one from that batch for his collection and was unlucky this programme kept popping up in the batches, or it does seem with some of the stuff that he had good contacts at the club over the years and almost took everything they were getting rid of.

Nick collected the 2nd of three parts of John King's collection today.
Thank Gawd the lift was working.
Like this scrapbook from 1973/4, one of many
message me if any collector has a ' wants ' list
A very young looking Paddy

Nice article
He used to go alone to away games on the coach.
