Born in British Hospital for Mothers and Babies. Lived at 480 Woolwich Road (opposite Cawoods) till I was 19. Went to Thorntree Infants then Sherrington Junior. For some reason they thought I was intelligent and I ended up at Prendergast Grammar in Catford. It was full of very nice gentle young ladies who didn't know a thing about football but thankfully I did manage to find a couple of normal girls who were also spending their Saturdays at the Valley. Got sent out of a French lesson once for talking to my friend - she was upset cos Alan Campbell was being transferred and for some reason the teacher didn't appreciate the importance of this. Mon dieu!!

What is your Lindos connection please? It was my favourite holiday resort back in the 80's. I've not been since, but very happy memories.
mother evacuated to Woking from Grove Park for my birth. Moved around a bit besides GP also Catford and Deptford as well as boarding school in Kent. When 17 joined the merchant navy and moved around a lot more but always came back to CAFC when in UK

hopefully not the result of your one one night stand with a legless bint from Scunthorpe.
Sorry Covered End, no actual Lindos connection. My husband and I love our Greek holidays so the kids have nicknamed us Michos and Lindos (Mick and Linda).
Born in barnehurst, first home I lived in was in the flats on Victoria Way, I was christened at St Luke’s in Charlton village.
Moved around a bit after that in Greenwich borough, but lived eventually in Wolfe Crescent, 81 - 85, my dad still lived there until he retired to Herne Bay 15 years ago.
Born like a few here born at British Hospital for Mothers and Babies and lived in Dupree Road. Dad was a Fireman at Shooters Hill...he'd be gutted now its a block of flats! Kudos though to ross1...that's bloody close...your probably eligible to play!
Born in Kinveachy Gardens SE7 and lived there for first 25 years..you could hear the crowd roar when we scored and from Maryon Wilson Park could see the floodlights.
Brought up in Blackheath, went to Charlton secondary school ( now called The Windrush ) left at 22 now live in North Wales but just can never shake the Charlton fc feeling. Gods knows I have tried over the years !
Born in Dartford (hospital) raised in Greenhithe, closest I got to living in SE7 was Well Hall Road SE9. Loved being able to walk to the ground. Lived in Lewisham and Lee for a bit as well.
Born in Brompton Kent, raised in Gravesend, moved away in 83 never moved back.
I lived in Gravesend (85-88) loved it at the time.
Was an ok place back then, you could walk back home from the town over windmill hill late at night without fear of getting mugged.
Town is full of nail bars and barbers now. In fact Kent on line did something on that theme this week. The man at the bottom David Bennett is my father and a lifelong Charlton fan who had to give his season ticket up as it was too hard for him to go.
Lived in Fairthorn Rd SE7 as my first flat. There was a kid who lived in the same road named after the entire 1974/75 side. Don't get more Charlton than that as a family.

Born a glory boy in Sidcup, grew up in Eltham, been a Sidcup glory bit for the last 20 years - my grandad and great uncle had a spell in the workhouse in Woolwich as kids - does that count for anything ?
Born Abbey Wood, then Eltham/New Eltham until 18 but grandparents lived in Guild Road - happy memories of tea, cakes and the football results after a home match.

Lived in Charlton for about a year when I was 23.
So I reckon:
SE7 - Proper Charlton
The rest of us - Glory boys
