As already pointed out, mainstay of the 1985-86 promotion side and played a good number of games the next season in the old First Division (top tier).
I remember the Boxing DayNew Years Day game at Sh*thurst when we thrashed Manchester City 5-0 (yes, we did!) and remember George Shipley scoring.
EDIT: Not only found the team: Charlton Bolder, Humphrey, Reid, Shipley, Peake, Shirtliff, Stuart, Curbishley, Melrose, Aizlewood, Walsh – sub Pearson(70)
George Shipley came to us from Lincoln City along with Steve Thompson before the start of 1985/1986 season. The last match both had played in was at Bradford City 11th May 1985 that was the day that 56 people lost they life in The Valley Parade fire Bradford.
Both very good players and trust me if we had the likes of these players in our squad today football would be better for it.
Was he at Lincoln with fashanu who went to Millwall in the mid 80s?

Great stuff, thanks for sharing. I remember it well. Hard to believe it was getting on for 40 years ago.
Walshies first goal was a cracker.
I was there and remember it well, aged 13. My mum and dad came, the only time I remember us all going to a game together. Straight to My Nan and Grandads after for Roast Dinner...
37 years ago. From then to now is the same as between 1949 and then...
If Charlton Life had been available in 1986 I wonder if we'd have remembered good old Tommy Lumley.

Dave Shipperley went to Gillingham, I think.

Still well thought off in those parts
Now just a plastic club with a manager I can not understand.
I feel sorry for who becomes the next City manager, Guardiola is a genius, the football is a joy to watch.
