Bits of The (old) Valley? Signed shirts? FA Cup winners medal?
What's the best (or simply oldest) bit of Charlton memorabilia you own, and what's the story?
Sadly I don't have anything very exciting but have a lot of replica shirts going back to the '80's (no, not for sale-or the museum before anyone asks 😃) and a load of the leaflets and stuff from the Valley Party days.
Hoping to find a way to display some of the shirts at some point.
People must have some unique/impressive things.
@Athletico Charlton I've got a couple of very nice frames up for grabs. DM me if you're interested.
Thanks @AddicksAddict but I have so many I will likely have them on an open railing or something as I would cover the whole wall space of my house otherwise.
Signed picture of Sam Bartram that I got for £4 on eBay. Would very much like to see a certified copy of his signature so that I can verify that mine's genuine.
Back to The Valley pennant - I think bought from the club shop at Selhurst - featuring a drawing of The Valley with the proposed uncovered East Stand and the single tier West Stand that was supposed to incorporate a bowling alley.
Few pics of my great uncle, Wilson Lennox, playing for Charlton in the 30s. Also, one picture of him in the team bath - can't be many people who've got a picture up on the wall of their uncle in the bath with a load of other blokes!
Does the Bartram pic mention a Sunday paper in the back? @MrLargo
Programme and ticket stub from the 1947 Cup Final. Signed Yellow away shirt by Johnathan Fortune….mint condition. My yellow On Stage Access Badge for the Summer of 74 Who Concert……May 18th 1974. Also got loads of other bits and pieces but mostly general run of the mill stuff.

Just remembered…..and it’s staring straight at me. A huge 110cm X 87cm Tom Morris framed and signed picture of Sasha Ilic running out with the ball when he saved the Michael Gray penno at Wembley.
Match-worn shirts by Garry Nelson, Mark Robson and Peter Garland. I went to the Valley a few days after the last match of the season in 1993 and wanted to buy some shirts as presents. The guy running the shop told me they had completely sold out of shirts, but I spotted a pile of three shirts on the floor and asked what they were. He said they were "second hand" ones they were going to get rid of. I offered to buy them. He said he wanted £10 each.
A Birthday card signed by the Team and Manager I received when I was 8 , in 1969 , my dad managed to sort it, as he knew Dick Nieve ? The Stadium Announcer at the time.
Football shirts (one signed), scarf, old programme's,
Not mine but my dad's. The personal video message to my dad from JJ (legend) wishing him well on his 80th and the accompanying video if him watching it for the first time (tears all round).
Piece of the old Valley turf from the Stoke game Signed program and shirt from Derek Hales testimonial by all players from both teams Match worn and signed Izale McLeod shirt Program I appeared in when I ran the London Marathon for Whizz Kidz and Junior Reds
The autographs of the team from the 1947 FA Cup Final, signed on the day itself.
They belonged to a former work colleague of my Mum up until about 20 years ago, when she decided to give them to us - knowing that we were all die-hard fans.
I can’t remember the exact story, but I believe she was a close friend of one of the players at the time which helped her to get them on the day of the game.
Not mine but my step-grandfather John Thomas Thornton Shreeve but known as Jack (if that's a thing - he was my step-mother's father)
As kids, on the way to school, we would stop off in Jack Shreeve's sweetshop most mornings.
Although I knew that he had played for Charlton, stupidly I didn't realise that he had a Cup Winners medal. If only we had asked 'Mr Shreeve' if we could see it!

I think I've sent you the Lennox photos previously, but happy to do so again.
The Bartram pic is a drawing rather than a photo. I think it's torn out of a football magazine, i'll send you a pic when I get in from work though.

A signed ball from the full squad that sits on my dressing table with ‘Be good Christine’ from SCP.
And next to that is my Scott Minto autograph 🤩
I do have other bits & bobs but they’re my favourites 😍

That is superb. Not sure how that can be beaten - maybe two fa cup medals? 😃

It's pictured in Sam Bartram's book ... much younger then, of course ... but still clearly recognisable.

Lump in throat every time I watch it.
