We left Part 1 of this article in 1963, with Charlton getting a new nickname, The Valiants, courtesy of a fan competition. And shortly after that a new badge, the sword, courtesy of the City of London crest. Next year will be the 50th anniversary of Charlton using the sword as its emblem. In Part 2, we explore how the sword badge has developed.

    As it stands, there's a factual error in that article. I expect some of Charlton Life's keen-eyed apostrophe-assessor types will be able to spot it this afternoon.

    Henry - those badges are brilliant. It would be fantastic if we could get high quality images of these (and others like them) and make up a mural sized image of them all together.
