I was born in January 1948.......so I can at least say I was alive when we were the FA Cup holders! 🥳🏆⚽️

I was conceived but not born when we won the Cup. The worrying thing is that this makes us all glory boys.

It may be that you were conceived as a consequence of the win!

It’s just possible that there’s an Addick who has seen all five post war Wembley appearances. I hope so anyway.

My Dad's ticket:

Henry Irving

Wasn't Kevin Nolan at the final?

I believe It was Kevin’s first game.

My birthday when we won the cup, not many Charlton fans can say that 😁

Blimey. Talk about setting up a boy with inflated expectations!

My Mum and her Mum had no interest in football but they both remembered the open top bus.

This looks like it's a view east towards the one-way system (with the Town Hall behind the camera?) except you can't see the top of the church on the far left-hand side of the road.

Every Charlton fan knows that we won the
FA Cup in 1947 but the date 26th April 1947 is another thing.

I was -36 years old but still remember it, great day out.

Some fans on the way to Wembley in 1947.

Enjoy 😀

Taken from the Town Hall tower but enough to show it’s the same road as the Cup Final bus pic
