Just got in over his head, tried to sign keegan before he went to Newcastle but missed out & so went for Allan Simonsen. What a player, far too good for us but what a privilege to see him in a Charlton shirt.
Don't know what happened there with red text

I remember buying the Standard at London Bridge and it was in the Late News section. Straight down the Copperfield when I got off the train at Catford Bridge to celebrate.1

Yeah I know. Plenty of people couldn't get tickets...me and my mate being two of them. The return to The Valley seemed to create a whole lot more interest.Covered End said:
The sell out return to The Valley was a massive 737 more at 8,337, which was the capacity.Simonsen said:
I remember seeing that at the time!SoundAsa£ said:

For me, anything else that happened after this at Charlton didn't compare. The club appeared finished and there wasn't the soft-landing of Administration....this was game over. I was at Swansea on the Saturday and then bang...club on life-support, with a legal finger hovering over the switch.
Two days after the rescue, only 7,600 turned up for the game v Grimsby at The Valley. I couldn't believe the apathy and yet the return to The Valley in later years, attracted a sell-out. To this day, I can't quite get my head around it.0 -
At school getting the piss taken out of us around that time by arsenal and spurs mugs
I think it was Thames news or something that revealed we’d been saved
I can’t imagine how much easier and happier life would have been if we’d just passed away peacefully .
i wouldn’t have supported anyone else , none of that non league freak show stuff for me thanks, Charlton till I or they die2 -
You would have passed that on to me when you got home. I can’t say I remember that but I do vaguely remember it being on the news. I was 11.golfaddick said:I was working in London & remember reading it in the Evening Standard on the train back home.0
