Who amongst us used to play? For those of my generation and pre-computer games, this was what me and my mates played from about aged 10 to around 15 in those cold and wet winter evenings when we could be outside playing.

My first set was very basic with two teams, a red and white one and a blue and white one. As I got more into it, pretty much all my pocket money was saved to by new team sets. I had Chelsea, Blackpool, England, Wolves, Burnley, amongst others.

I also splashed out on new goals which were easier to hold, and smaller balls which could be hit harder. One of my mates bought Floodlights as well.

The picture above includes a mark 2 goalkeeper which had an easy to hold plastic handle. The original ones had metal handles.

We held tournaments and even had a trophy awarded to the winner.]]> Rumours Rumours - Its Alive ! http://forum.charltonlife.com/discussion/24301/rumours-rumours-its-alive Tue, 03 Mar 2009 05:36:04 +0000 McLovin 24301@/discussions

I'm going to Greece in July.
I want to take advantage of the current exchange rate, but I understand that Greece could leave the Euro and return to the drachma after their elections in June?

What I wanted to know is that could any change in June devalue the euros I hold, or would there simply not be enough time after the elections to affect me at all?

The auction ends on Wednesday 16 May at 5.00pm. The boots are in Glasgow and the pants in Bromley so winners will need to arrange postage or be willing to collect.

Please listen carefully, I am only going to say this once.

You can bid for either boot separately or you can bid for both boots or you can bid for the pair. In order to win Lot C - The pair of boots - then your bid will have to equal or exceed the combined total of the highest bids for Lots A and B. Please only bid in round £s. No pence bids allowed.

Lot D is a stand alone auction not connected to boots.

At the request of the Wiggins the Welsh Wing Wizard himself the money raised will all go to the Charlton Upbeats Down's Syndrome team. He was so impressed by how much Morrison and Taylor's shirt's raised (£600 in total) that he offered Weegie Addick a pair of his boots which he duly handed over before the Hartlepool game. Many thanks to Weegie for looking after the boots and for the pics.

Happy Bidding



Lot A Rhoys Wiggins' match worn LEFT boot. It is Adidas AdiZero, size 8 and is signed. It has clearly been worn – scuffs and creases – though not sure which matches! Opening bid is £20

Lot B Rhoys Wiggins' match worn RIGHT boot. As above it is Adidas AdiZero, size 8 and is signed. It has clearly been worn – scuffs and creases – though not sure which matches! Opening bid is £20

Lot C The PAIR of Rhoys Wiggins match worn boots ie Lots A and B combined as detailed above. To win the pair your bid must equal or exceed the combined highest bids for A & B. Opening bid £40

Lot D A pair of signed pants worn at the Carlisle promotion game by Rhoys Wiggins. The donor has asked that he remain anonymous! These were given to the Lifer after the Carlisle game when he requested Rhoys' shorts. The pants were inside. They have subsequently been washed which may increase or decrease the value to some "specialist" collectors. They are large and had RWs squad number (16) on them. He has since signed them. An unique prize Starting bid £4

He's already been chosen as League One's manager of the year after leading Charlton to the title, and now Addicks chief Chris Powell has been named as one of the most inspirational figures in the country.

A new survey compiled by the Independent on Sunday has selected Powell as one of the top 10 'celebrities who inspire' on its annual Happy List.

The Charlton manager has been chosen alongside the likes of Sir David Attenborough, Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington, England cricketer Monty Panesar, artist David Hockney and actors Timothy Spall and Victoria Wood.

I must say, thats a pretty damn impressive accolade - and I think he deserves it.

To many of the threads on here lately get dragged away from the subject matter
NLA is spot on. Its been happening too much recently.

The Richard Murray storming the dressing room turning into a pub chat about the Falconwood Harvester is a prime example.

Please consider what you add and whether its in context, and if not start a seperate thread on the side topic.

Otherwise we will have to consider simply deleting inputs, and that will be a waste of our time, and yours.

It is a 120 cm x 65 cm colour picture printed on to 3mm foamex. It has been signed by Bradley himself. the picture was very kindly donated by Paul Ellison, the Retail Manager so many thanks to him.

Would look really good in an office or study at home.

It's at the Valley at the moment so it would be easier if the winner could collect but if not we can arrange for postage but you will have to meet the cost.

It is for sale by auction. The auction ends on Monday 21 May at 5.00 pm. Opening bid is £20
