    I thought the smiling bloke with the slightly wavy hair is Barnes Wallis, but I've just looked up his picture and it's not. However, he looks very familiar. Anyone got any idea who it is?

    Reminded me of Charles Charlie Charles (of the famous Charles family).

    Brilliant footage. Is that different to the footage on the Centenary DVD?

    I pored over this footage when I was a kid, courtesy of the 'British Movietone News: Early Cup Finals' videos/VHS.

    They had 3 of the Charlton Wembley finals from that period on there, this, the Derby game & the 1-7 defeat to the Gooners in the League War Final.

    I tried to emulate Duffy's jelly-legs in the school playground many a time, but never pulled it off with quite so much (or any in fact) aplomb. :-D

    In all the finals from that period/on the Vid (38-50), I don't think any team captain lifts the cup from the the top of the 39 steps.

    Maybe they were more conservative back then?

    Len, can you confirm this, & what was it like at Wembley that day? ;-)

    Love the Charlie Charles footage too! Nearly added that myself! Nice one Raith! :-D

    Somehow, I don't think that's how the action was described back in those days.
