Does anybody have a definitive list of Charlton past and maybe present players/managers /coaches/ famous fans etc who have penned books. I have a total of 38 with another three I know of.
The museum has a library of various books, handbooks etc which we need to catalogue but @Carl Leaburn 's excellent flicker account (above) is a good start.
We've cataloguing our programmes and match tickets but have done our fanzines.
We also working on the dozens of scrapbooks we have thanks to some fantastic volunteers.
The only footballers autobiography I have read was by Robert Lee but it turns out he started his career at Newcastle and never played for Charlton, so he doesn't qualify.

I've asked Chat GPT to produce a list of books written by former Charlton players.
I think some of them will prove very difficult to track down.
