Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
When Football Was Football: Charlton Athletic by Michael Walsh
With the help of pictures from the Daily Mirror archives, When Football Was Football: Charlton Athletic covers the 108 year history of the club. From exile at Sellout Park to the momentous homecoming to the Valley on December 5, 1992 this book is a must for all fans.
Michael Walsh is not quite a lifelong Addicks fan. His Irish father tried to make him support Manchester United, but '60s Saturdays watching Law, Best and another famous Charlton around London's first division bastions failed to do the trick, just as being dragged to mass on '60s Sundays failed to make him a good catholic. His first game at the Valley, then a mouldering SE7 Circus Maximus, was a 5-2 defeat to Southampton. And it wasn't him who threw the stone that Saints Terry Paine complained had whacked him on the head. Michael is associate sports editor of the Sunday People and author of Brothers In War, the true story of one English family's Great War sacrifice.
