I am wondering whether these writings make any reference to the Addicks or at least to the chalkpit which is now The Valley. <br /><br />Also cannot believe that they got the name on the plague wrong. <br /><br />I had my own Zurich experience on Thursday flying back to the UK. I sat next to Bobby Charlton at the airport and got his autograph. Another end of season trivia, he made his league debut against us!<br /><br />Jan BecherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
