I've just come across an old junior red photo presented to us after we made there kit,I recognise one of the chaps Chris who drinks in the liberal,is there any other lifers in it?
[cite]Posted By: Eltham_addick[/cite]I recognise the keeper and the bloke 2nd from the left on the top row, that's gotta be at least 15 years old
We stopped using the Woolwich kit ca 1989/1990, maybe a year later? But we definitely weren't using it in '92 so the pic is likely to be nearer 20 years old.
The old £10 day out coaches run by Ian Marsh were the highlight, get on the coach, travel up to some northern dump, game in the morning, lunch put on by the club, then tickets for the game and a coach home.
Think I went on those for about two years.... one of the West brothers. Remember drinking my first bottle of "K" cider on one of those trips... disgusting stuff.
Aye Carumba! Thats my brother, back row, 2nd in from the left. Another old mate to his right, & Matt Wyatt 3rd from the right. Blimey! This brings back memories! :-)
I played in a few of the Junior Red teams, but the younger team generally, whereas my older brother played for the 'senior' Junior Reds on away trips. This was mainly across the seasons 88/89 & 89/90.
The kit also looks like the old 'Junior Robins' Kit (A Charlton junior side selected from Junior Reds that started in 1988 to go through the junior leagues, U10,U11,etc & upto the school of excellence - if they were good enough).
I remember the 'Dream Team' partnership of Bob Petty & Ian Marsh organising the Junior Red coaches, also with Jackie Moynihan. We'd take the coach from the old Valley Club. I remember Adam! :-D He took so much stick! An absolute nerd, but harmless. ;-)

All for a tenner, not bad
Who the other guys that used to help out...Pete Barret and Alan Smith... good guys. Loved those away days. I used to always win the raffle!
Yeah, Pete and Alan, and Alan's missus who used to run the tuck shop on the coaches.
Proper old days!
I've passed that pic onto Daly to see if he remembers people
Keith Marsh (Ian's son), Lee Smith (with the ball), Ian Fagan and Stuart Bristow.
That is absolutely unreal!!!!
