Bingo Bill Robinson

Any more mature fans remember Bill Robinson (not the player) who helped run the Valley club in the sixties and seventies?

Any stories or reminiscences?

    See the museum's twitter account but his family have given us some great Charlton books and we wanted more background on him.

    I was born in 1958 and we moved in 1967 and believe they were there, the whole of that time.
