Not seen this before. Its old film about Charlton and its attempt to get families into the ground.

    Those guys in bowler hats look like they've just come off the set of A Clockwork Orange.  I suppose it's not that far from Thamesmead.

    Someone at the Club should have made this available to fans.

    Could easily been stuck on the Centenary DVD.

    Typical  Charlton!

    When was that?...... around 1969/70, judging by £sd and decimal pricing.

    Shots of The Valley Club and players of that era, Peter Reeves, Johnny Kiers, Graham Moore, Alan Campbell etc running out of the tunnel.

    Anyone recognise themselves or family?

    I think it is on the centenary dvd, might be wrong, but I've seen it before

    This was on the 'old' CL a while ago: someone reckoned the baby elephant was the one that starred in the famous Blue Peter doing its stuff that time, certainly the keeper looks like the same chap. I remember they tried to get the poor animal to take a penalty at the covered end but it was no Bob Curtis.
