    I've watched the Centenery DVD, and I still didn't know !
  • 2 consecutive promotions, followed by 2nd, 4th and 3rd place finishes in top tier, then bang! World War 2.
    Couple of War Cup Finals and then first 2 cup finals after the war (winning one)
    Only Charlton could contrive to put arguably their greatest team together to coincide with the outbreak of a world war!

    Sadly its the same with World War One... Had neither War happened then the big London rivalry today could be between Clapton Orient and Charlton
