Red shirts / black shorts - love that combo1

Melrose (arm raised) celebrates with the other CAFC players wearing a red OSCA Woolwich shirt.
George Shipley (far left) scored our other goal two minutes later in the 44th minute. Melrose was also booked along with 4 other Charlton players and 4 of the Millwall side.

Jim went on to score 5 vital goals in 11 league games that season to help the club clinch promotion to the top flight for the first time in nearly three decades. Unusually for the time, Melrose kept the shirt from his time with CAFC18 -
Fancy wearing red when away. What's wrong with pink or green I say 😄.se9addick said:Red shirts / black shorts - love that combo4 -
After changing hands that No.8 shirt has been purchased by the museum and is on display with our other CAFC Woolwich OSCA and Adidas shirts Thanks to everyone who has donated time, items or money to the museum to make this latest acquisition possible11 -
And the good new for you shirt collectors is that we now have a spare of this shirt that we will be looking to sell to partially cover the cost of the match worn version we now have.1

You sure that's match worn Henry, I mean where's the mud and blood stains...🙄0

It's not actually the shirt he wore when scoring the goal at Millwall as that was long sleeve but it is a match worn shirt from that season.eastterrace6168 said:You sure that's match worn Henry, I mean where's the mud and blood stains...🙄
He may have changed shirts at half time but the badge is the give away. Stitched fabric rather than printed on as with the shop versions.1 -
19 goals in 48 appearances, good player was Jim Melrose.8

Will never forget his 9 second goal at Upton Park or last minute goal in the first leg of the play off final against Leeds.I still have that Woolwich shirt, although it’s a little tighter now than it was back then.4

I miss those days at the Old Den when you could stash your crash helmet on the crossbar in case things went wonky.Henry Irving said:

We went to an all nighter in Flicks the night before this (it was Good Friday). Got home about 8, crashed out for a couple of hours then went to the game. I seem to remember it was an early kick off for some reason but may be wrong. My first visit to The Den as an away fan, had been there several times before as a neutral.Henry Irving said:

Interestingly I have a blue version of this shirt with a stitched badge but no number. Any idea why that would be?Henry Irving said:

Was in the North Bank with my West Ham supporting mate (who was from Blackpool) who I was working with at the time at Selhurst Railway depot, could hardly contain my excitement....great Charlton performance that day.MStuartPerm said:Will never forget his 9 second goal at Upton Park or last minute goal in the first leg of the play off final against Leeds.I still have that Woolwich shirt, although it’s a little tighter now than it was back then.1 -
Was there never any tv footage of this game at ‘ Pwoper wall’ ??0

I was sitting high up on the half line stand at Upton Park when Melrose scored his 9 second goal. One of many fine moments in his relatively short stay with us, none better than his hat-trick against the then reigning League Champions, Everton. I believe that was in the same month in October 1986.
A great bargain signing by Lennie for £50,000.3 -

i remember another game when they gave us the pen next to the corner one and we never took the numbers we should have over there0 -
Forget which year but thought it was 2-2 game which we are talking about when we were given 4000 tickets ie the whole end at The Den.0

Looks club issued with the badge and white bar both being better quality.Sollied said:

Could be some of the players kit was sold in the shop, possibly at the end of the season as we switched to Adidas the next season.
Very nice shirt, look after it (or donate it to some type of CAFC historical institution!)
How well has the Osca label survived?0 -

There were untold views both approaching and inside the old Den that would fit that description. The atmosphere was always 'interesting' though.
