JS worked with my father in the summers/off season (no pun intended) and he was remembered as a really decent down to earth chap ...such a tragedy that he left us so young ...although i cannot corroborate this my Dad (since died) was at the match but was so peed off he left at half time
I saw every game that season, except one, you are allowed to guess! I'd been off School all week and my dear old Mum felt I should not risk any sort of relapse. You can imagine the sort of relapse I suffered when the score came up on "Sports Report" and the match report that followed.
The thing that I always see when I look at this programme (as I've still got my Dad's copy, who *really was* there for the full 90) is that the next home league game was an interesting 11:15 k.o. against Donny on Christmas day - from another thread, I think this was the last time we played on Christmas day (and I pretty sure being told that there was a skeleton train service ;-) any of those around care to comment?)
Some very witty comments on this stream, sorry I can't match them. The game is always going to generate some interest. I was at the game with some mates who were not Charlton fans themselves. Amazingly, I let them talk me into leaving with the score at 6-5 in order to catch the last two races at the greyhound track in Woolwich Road. I heard the cheers go up as we were leaving the ground at Valley Grove and then another louder one as we reached the top of Floyd Road.

At the POF, with the pens standing at 7-6, my mate turned to me and said "I like the sound of that ...."
