    My grandparents and father, even my great grandfather, could well have been at that game.....

    I have to say Oggy's aged well :-)

    Is that where the German Bomber song originated from?

    Seriously as if being at a Charlton home game weren't enough without the risk of being bombed by the Jirmans as well...
