Back to The Valley - Mercury 1992 supplement with lots of fans mugshots
Comments

History of that paper was a bit sad. The idea was that the Mercury would sell the advertising and the club could sell it and keep the cover price. Instead the club decided to produce its own magazine publication.
Both were then printed in 1991 on the assumption we were going back that year, even if a bit late. But of course the saga dragged on for another year. By then it was all a bit late and a lot were given away or scrapped, I thInk. Still a nice souvenir, I hope.
Remember going to High Wycombe to see it on the "stone", which was very unusual.
The supporter pics are paid insertions, so self-selecting not chosen by the paper.4 -
Nor the ahem ladies offering total massage, very friendly massage etc. At least you would hope notalan dugdale said:

Recognised 23 of the Addicks in the mugshots pages.
Sadly, at least 2 of them are no longer with us.0 -
As the Simpsons Sea Captain says "ARR Not a looker among 'em!!"0

Looks like a rogues gallery that lot. Also didn't know we were supported by Bobby Ball, Ben Elton, Ted Roach from The Bill or the guy from Kadergoogoo.2

Recognised a small hand full from the mugshots. I thought id recognise more of them as there weren't that many of us at Sellout and Trumpton. Ive got a ton of these newspaper clippings up in my shed ready to return home along with countless programmes and VOTV's. Had to laugh at the welcome back from the Asian Masseuse.0

Funny you should mention this.Elthamaddick said:Stavros from Plumstead could almost be the Harry Enfield character as well !
The original Stavros (who Harry Enfield based the character on), now lives in Clacton......his grandson and nephew, who both live in Bromley, are both Addicks.

That's a cracking find. Those "massage" ads!
Quite funny to see all those Deptford and New Cross/Peckham pubs tapped up to place an ad in a Charlton supplement. Dog & Bell in Deptford still going strong - Charlie and Eileen only retired a couple of years back, I believe.0 -
I'm trying to print off a better copy of the pub page. John's still in the Herbert but Jean and Brian retired from The Star. Both pubs still going though.
Thanks for posting Derek.0 -
Yes but the Fox and Bird's Nest are the best pubs in South East London.guinnessaddick said:

Remember the Mercury asking fans to pay to have their picture printed, glad I swerved it at the time. Some very familiar faces including a former chief exec amongst that log.
God @Miserableoldgit we’re you ever that young? Ha ha4 -
