The match signalled the end of Charlton,s unhappy stay at Selhurst Park- five years and 225 days after the Addicks (final) match at The Valley against Stoke City.
Colin Cameron quote from his book Home and Away.
My photo of Charlton v West Ham United on 4th May 1991. Exactly 33 years ago tonight.
I played on that pitch that week in u11s cray valley schools cup final ((St Philomenas v Castlecombe).
Remember being buzzing as we got the home 'Charlton' dressing room.
I scored 5 and we won 8-3. The linesman was a palace scout and asked my mum if I wanted to go for a trial the following week but we moved to Saudi for a couple of years a few days later and now 30 years later I work in compliance.
34 years ago today. 5th May 1990. Old Trafford. Division One.Last game of 89/90 season. After 4 consecutive seasons in the top flight we are relegated. Photos taken by my old man. Went with my brothers and dad. First visit to OT.

Before they played the nigels in the cup final. They still complement our atmosphere that day.

33 years 🙈 I got punched in the back of the head by a West Ham fan on the walk back to Norwood Junction as a result of being trappy. Bit out of order thinking back as I was still 14 and he was a proper adult.
Learned a lesson though so perhaps done me a favour

Still gutted I missed this title game 12 years ago. My twins were one and I was sharing games with Mrs AFKA. Let her have this one but was absolutely gutted.
Waited outside with the double buggy after the game waiting for everyone to come out. No one come out for a good half hour at least!
I got the draw at Preston away the week earlier instead :-(

Get your retaliation in beforehand?
Seriously, giving someone lip is not a reason for assault.

Was at the "Killer is back" game. For a friendly, he fucking meant it!
Cemented my man love for the fella forever.
Killer Killer Killer
I remember him sidestepping Mick McCarthy - who was either still playing or had just retired - leaving him for dead, and blasting it in the net of the Covered End goal. The word gets bandied about a lot, but a real legend.

I flew back from a stag week in Vegas early for this one ffs passed to other friends, decent complimented tickets(that’s how shit a gambler I was ) for a Floyd Mayweather fight at the MGM . All this done to indoctrinate my then 6 year old 12 years on he’s schlepping around the country watching us at Carlisle, Blackpool etc and I’m thinking I hate Charlton more than ever but I’d do that all again for SCP and Kermorgant ❤️

Wonder who the bloke on the left is in the last photo with the trophy.
Someone didn’t rate him (Roland).
Good photos, miles apart from this seasons team.
Yann Kermorgant.
Ticket to go with the poster.

All proper Charlton were there to witness it.
