"The Valley was constantly in the firing line. One match between Charlton and Millwall was halted with a minute to go and the visitors 2-0 up. Once the all clear was sounded, they played the final minute"

Fantastic stuff. I heard more about the other side of things where top footballers played for services teams in highly competitive games which occasionally turned a bit knifey. I know my Dad, who was an infinitely better footballer than me, talked about playing for the Royal Engineers alongside some top Arsenal players. Like a typical teenager, I gave it the 45 years ago version of the more current “whatever, Dad”. Sadly, he’s not around today to listen to what he remembers.

Small world, my father also played for the royal engineers with and all the great of the time, he played in the UK but he said the hardest dirtiest games were in Burma, I used to know who he played against, but unfortunately time has erased those names.you never knows our dads may have played in the same team.
