Charlton Athletic On This Day by Matt Eastley
Charlton Athletic On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Addicks diary - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's formation in 1905 through to the Premier League era, the red-and-white faithful have witnessed record-breaking dramas unfold: the greatest ever recovery in a league match; the first rise from the old Division Three to the old Division One, eventually finishing runners-up; the first ever substitute used; the first retention of a top-tier spot via the playoffs - plus an all-time Wembley classic. Timeless greats such as Derek Hales, Scott Parker, Jimmy Seed, Clive Mendonca, Sam Bartram and Eddie Firmani all loom larger than life in a history capped by a groundbreaking groundshare exile, and a glorious return to The Valley.
Matt Eastley is the author of the three-book series When the FA Cup Really Mattered, Charlton Athletic Miscellany and Charlton Athletic On This Day. Matt is a third-generation Charlton supporter who saw his first game, aged seven, in 1973. A season-ticket holder at The Valley, Matt met his wife Lisa in the Charlton pub, The Royal Oak.
