Press clippings, your own reports, marks out of ten etc.

Who kept one, and if so, what season ?

Do you still have it ?

    not a scrapbook but i have paper clippings etc from the mid/late eighties when we were in the top flight, used to cut out the coloured photos from the 'today' newspaper and stick them on my wall and quite a few mercury clippings... all in a box in basement now if they haven't disintegrated!!

    I kept a book with my ratings for all the players in each match from 86/87 season which over the following three or four seasons developed into a scrapbook. I would have to challenge anybody to find a better scrapbook than my 88/89 and 89/90 efforts.

    In the ancient trunk in the loft along with loads of old programmes, resides my 1967-68 scrapbook - Charlie Wright, Matt Tees, Harry Gregory, Keithy Peacock, Graham Moore, Peter Reeves, Bob Curtis, Alan Campbell, Brian Kinsey, Ray Treacy, Lenny Glover et al.

    Heroes,every one of them, lol

    I did start a 1968-69 scrapbook but never got much beyond the early part of the season, despite it being our oasis promotion near-miss season in a desert of years of relegation struggles.

    I must have discovered girls.

    Yep. Mine were from the first couple of seasons at Selhurst - mostly newspaper cuttings from the Mercury, and then the nationals once we got promoted, plus the occasional panini sticker. Most memorable ones were the Kevin Nolan feature on the 3-3 draw against Millwall, which was less of a match report and more an imagined "Lennie Lawrence on the psychiatrist's couch" skit, and all the hoo-ha surrounding us beating Man U at Old Trafford.

    I have no idea whether my parents still have it, but I suspect they've chucked it out by now.

    I think I may still have the one I wrote in 1991 and I collected all the cuttings from our first year in the prem, and the promotion year after.

    I never kept one and probably never will.

    I do however hold a few signed shirts from the last couple of seasons especially from the "training" session at the valley!

    Not a scrapbook exactly but at Primary School we had to do what was called a topic (project in modern parlance) on something and I chose Charlton.

    I once sent a photo of the team from the Kentish Independent to Len Glover at the Club with a stamped addressed envelope asking for autographs and he returned it with a letter from presumably his home address which I've probably still got in my loft. The final sentence of the letter said not to bother to send a stamped addressed envelope if I wrote again.

    It would have been in 1966 give or take a year or two either way when I wrote to Lenny.

    Yep, I started one when we nearly went bust, the Glikstein, Hulyer ,Sunley years, because I couldn't believe what I was reading. Continued it into the First Division years play off games, back to The Valley, Play Off Final etc.
