    Who was the Charlton No 10, who is in the penalty area, and what a miss!....... I blame those boots, and the length of those shorts!..... Why did we not play in red and white! ....... come on Henry Irving we need answers?

    Churchino's grandad?


    I think the convention in those days was that the home team would change colours if there was a clash.

    I think our 'inside left' was Stuart Leary

    My first ever game at the Valley. My brother was an Arsenal supporter. I remember scrabbling between legs to get down to the front of the east terrace. The only time I saw Sam in goal. It wasn't until 3 years later that became a regular. Leary was definitely playing as was Johnny Summers, but as I remember the result was never in doubt.

    I wonder whether flat caps were issued at the turnstile.

    Present for that one - as a teenager stood behind the goal (present north stand ) can recall dismay as the goals kept popping in. Surprised now by the dress code. Still though find pictures of the massive east terrace bringing a thrill. But right - we lost 'move on'.

    Was Arsenal v Charlton ever a grudge match in the same way that MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon is?

    ''Leary was definitely playing as was Johnny Summers, but as I remember the result was never in doubt.''

    I am pretty sure that Johnny Summers never played in the same team as Sam Bartram,
    some of the silver surfers may know for sure. Think he was still a Millwall player in 1956!

    I think Trotter signed Summers early in the 56/57 season - he couldn't have played for us in the FA Cup before 1957. I remember Derek Ufton saying when I interviewed him at Christmas that Summers and Lawrie should have kept us up that year, but for mistakes made by Trotter.
