Back to the programmes and the two oldest programmes we have on sale as part of CL/Bromley Addicks auction to raise money for the CAFC Academy.
Item A: A Charlton v Arsenal first division programme from 10 March 1956. We won 2 - 0 with both goals from the infamous Jimmy Gauld but this match's significance is that is was the last game the great Sam Bartram ever played for the Club. Two days later he was manager of York City.
The programme is, frankly, in very poor condition. The pages have come lose and it has tea cup stains and pen marks. If it wasn't so old and from such an important game I doubt I'd even offer it but it is from a time when we were disappointed that we "only" got 40,000 at the gate. Over 71k had been at the FA Cup game two weeks before
Opening bid £1
Item B Charlton v Wolves home first division programme 24 march 1956. Two weeks later and we lose 2 - 0 in front of 27,372
This programme is in better condition but can only really be described as fair/good. Team changes have been noted in pencil as was common in those days. For it's age it's not bad considering programmes then were printed on paper similar to a newspaper or comic with no heavy glossy cover.
Opening bid £1
As ever winner will have to pay postage or collect.
Auction ends Thursday 6th at 5.00pm
Happy bidding
