    Curbs told him it was boring, so he put it back in the cupboard.





    ps Yes, I'm still fuming about the hours of my life I wasted on the Curbishley book.

    Peter Shaw was a regular in crossbars last year, don't know if he's one of the Kensall 30 this time round.

    It is and I can see me leaning on the barrier in the Covered end.
  • Love those classic Adidas boots Flash and Killer are wearing. Much, much more classy than those hideous things they wear nowadays.

    Aye it's Shore. Those days were the pinnacle of my Charlton supporting life. Youth AND The Valley... beautiful!

    Peter Shaw is a lovely guy, but not seen him for years.

    He took a lot of abuse when he first played for us - Francessca, his wife was mortified by it.

    And that's Nicky Johns in goal plus Dick Tydeman's left boot in the corner of the picture.

    Where was the picture above taken then because I'm pretty sure the Covered End never had windows / openings at the back of the stand? And the background in the corner where the old Courage sign used to be doesn't look familiar to me.

    I still have that Butka kit from my teenage years. My son wore it to training the other week and when washed the CAFC came off. Pretty pissed off about that.

    I think they could be lights, rather than windows? It is definitely The Valley.

    Ah good point, but still doesn't look quite right to me somehow mind you I was playing myself in those days and could only get along to midweek evening games. :-)

    No mate but the fact that the stand had roof to floor supports at each end which you can't see because of Killer's 'barnet', wasn't helping my thought processes. :-)

    The short stretch of terracing along the side to the north of the stand is distinctive, and beyond that the roof of the groundsman's house (since demolished) is clearly visible. The club shop is there now; in those days it was housed in a little wooden shed in the (pot-holed) car park...
