OK, unlikely unless you are drawing your pension but it's a great pic regardless.

Five boys standing on the East Terrace in a variety of headwear appeal for a penalty after Eddie Firmani, seen lying prone in the box, has been fouled.
Dennis "Daisy" Edwards scored from the spot to make it Charlton 2 - 0 Derby Co which was the final score.
1 February 1964
I was there but on the terrace behind the goal at the other end.
I would guess my first game would have been 1977/78 ish - i remember getting the adidas kit and a charlton tracksuit for Christmas a few years later - i think i went there for a firework display on a friday night standing in the covered end, possibly before my first match - remember the seats going in around 1980 ish so definitely went before then

Me too with my mates from Colfes
"Come, sons of Colfe's. Come one, come all. Tell out in lusty song ... the stirring deeds on heath and field which to us all belong."

Having looked at the photo, I can hazard a guess that the lad on the left of the picture is John Bailey, who lived in Broad Walk, round the corner from me, but at this distance in time, I cannot be sure.
The mention of Colfes stirred mixed memories. In about 1961/2 the words of the school song were indeed 'modified' much to the annoyance of the then headmaster, Herbie Deadwood. For the record the last line should read 'For the school on the pill'; some of those in the sixth form who liaised with their contemporaries at Prendergast, thought it should more properly be applied to them.
We organised a group trip to the Leeds game in 1964. Eddie Firmani was playing and he certainly matched the skills of Don Revie's team. I think we lost and Leeds were promoted. Back at Lewisham we got a sarcastic reception from the bloke who took games (Dave someone). Snobbery ruled in those days, especially in a school devoted to what was called 'rugger'! Needless to say, official disapproval made us all the more enthusiastic about supporting the Addicks.
Several ex pupils who have now departed via the celestial Bartram Gate to the East Terrace in the sky, told us that before the war Jimmy Seed and his men once played an exhibition game on the school field in Lee. I also believe the 1947 FA Cup also visited the school on its trip round the neighbourhood.

Getting the classified from the newsagents at the end of Days lane, Blackfen.
Time, and those grains of sand need to slow down a tad.
Our parents have a lot to answer for - bless them.
Waiting by the Odeon at Well Hall at 5.50 and wondering which would come first, the Evening News or Standard.
