If you're really Charlton's Biggest Fan, you'll be prepared to spend the time restoring it. Either that or just have a bit of fun doing your own design. https://www.cassart.co.uk/pebeo-porcelaine-150/
Anyone even considering throwing away a mug like that they've had for twenty years should really replace it with a plastic one. For that is what they actually are. Plastic.
Keep. Treasure. Cherish.
Furthermore, if your son likes it, leave the mug to him in your will. (And if he doesn't, then leave only the mug to him in your will).
That has just jogged my memory. Some time ago my wife said my Charlton mug with Richard Rufus on was looking tatty. Admittedly it has faded badly but no chips and its mine. I haven't had a cuppa in that for ages. When I get home later I'm going to have a look for it, I think my wife may of made a huge decision without me.
This. If you keep it, you have also retained the ability to throw it out at a later date. As soon as you have got rid of it though, you have reduced your future life options.
If it gives you a flutter of joy when you hold it, keep. If not, charity shop it.
This is the principle of decluttering i am reading currently by a japanese guru on the subject. Thing is i don't think they do second hand or recycling so everything that doesn't provoke joy is chucked out with the rubbish (tbd).
That's the trouble. Too many of the older type mugs are not dishwasher safe. I am a horder, but honestly I think I would bin one that was that faded. Made te mistake of putting this one in the dishwasher, already starting to fade.
Like the team, my Charlton mug has had a crack in it for some time. Just waiting for the day I'm left holding the handle, wearing the coffee, and we get relegated.

I'd have said it's done quite well lasting since 1947...take it you bought it at the time...🙄
I think you need to prove if you are actually Charlton's biggest fan otherwise you have been a fraud for over 20 years and should definitely thrown the mug away and spend the next 20 years repenting.

Keep forever and pass it down to your son when you die.
I will then send you my "Charlton's Biggest Mug" fan to add to the collection.
Keep. Treasure. Cherish.

Would have worth £100 to £125 on ebay in mint condition but ruined by dishwashing.
