Get The Valley rocking again

New chairman Matt Southall has urged Charlton fans to come to Saturday's game against West Bromwich Albion and get The Valley rocking again. His clarion call has already been viewed over 9,000 times: Twitter video

My hero Sam Bartram featured in the programme.

It's a particularly significant day for me as on 11 January 1947 my father went to see Charlton beat Rochdale 3-1 in the FA Cup. He then made his way to St. Alphege's Hospital in Greenwich where I was born at 7.30 p.m.

In those days fathers had to wait in a room full of cigarette smoke to hear the news.
