    I was born in January 1948.......so I can at least say I was alive when we were the FA Cup holders! 🥳🏆⚽️
    I was conceived but not born when we won the Cup. The worrying thing is that this makes us all glory boys.

    It may be that you were conceived as a consequence of the win!

    It’s just possible that there’s an Addick who has seen all five post war Wembley appearances. I hope so anyway.

    I believe It was Kevin’s first game.

    Blimey. Talk about setting up a boy with inflated expectations!

    My Mum and her Mum had no interest in football but they both remembered the open top bus.

    This looks like it's a view east towards the one-way system (with the Town Hall behind the camera?) except you can't see the top of the church on the far left-hand side of the road.

    Every Charlton fan knows that we won the
    FA Cup in 1947 but the date 26th April 1947 is another thing.

    Taken from the Town Hall tower but enough to show it’s the same road as the Cup Final bus pic
