    Found my photos from the back to the valley game this afternoon (clearing out the garage held more appeal than watching the game).

    Jim Rosenthal took this after the game, I don’t look happy but was off my tits by then.


    You the bloke in the middle Dave?

    Think this was in The Oak after the game


    Met JC and a couple of others in Oak for a beer, when I was over the other week

    They very nearly got chucked out, my wife noticed them caught up in the bottom of a box that was just about to go to the dump.

    Didn’t take any photos of the return to the Valley. Still have the memories.

    I would love to know what the likes of Steve Archer (standing in the car) and the lad on the car bonnet are doing now - can't for the life of me remember his name but have a feeling it was Andy or Mike? Both played for me for a while when I used to manage a Sunday morning football team but the latter also played rugby for Sidcup 1st XV. He was fearless on the pitch and from what I can gather quite handy off it too!

    I also had the "privilege" of refereeing a Charlton v Millwall supporters match one Saturday morning at Sparrows Lane in which Mick was in goal. Steve Archer and Steve Dixon (who also I believe used to also sit behind me with his dad in the West Stand when we were much younger) in our side too. Didn't turn out that well as we were winning 3-2 but Millwall equalised in the last minute of injury time - and of course I got the blame for adding too much of it!

    I was in the same class as Steve’s sister (Kate) in primary school. He moved up north some time ago but used to bump into him at away games every now and then. A top bloke.

    Posted on Twitter by @1dev - 1936. Does anyone know what the building above the East Terrace was?

    brilliant ... completely new pic for me ... but not convinced it is the Valley
    Seen pictures with that structure from the 30s

    Great picture - never come across that before. Mid 40’s I’d guess based on the damage to the covered end roof (and the fact it’s an RAF photo…)

    It's taken in October 1946 from the caption, alongside the CE roof you can see a group of 2/3 houses missing on the Woolwich Road just opposite the old dog track that must have taken a direct hit. 

    The station area is temporary as well after the V1 strike @Tomhovi's mum witnessed that one

    Great photo. Easy to forget that the dog track was ever there. I remember doing "penny for the guy" outside there in the early 60s.

    Couple of original press photos of Charlton players the museum purchased.

    The scars on Frank Burton's face are almost certainly war wounds

    Not the Oak Russ. Looks more like the Horse & Groom?

    Possibly mate, we did end up at a pub in Plumstead (The Star?) so might be there?

    10yrs ago, what a contrast to now.
    I'm not sure who took most of these photos, Steve Bridge perhaps?

    What an absolutely magnificent day that was. Had my two lads back from uni for it too.

    I'd suggest after the East Terrace was fully developed and before the war (no military uniforms in the picture), so I'm guessing c. 1937.

    Must have been the Christmas Day 1914.
