EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this poignant photograph taken by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to the 20th September 1985, witnessing a significant moment in Charlton Athletic's history. As the football club prepared for their move to Selhurst Park, this image immortalizes their last training session at The Valley Ground. The atmosphere is charged with mixed emotions as players engage in rigorous drills and exercises under the watchful eye of their dedicated coach. Amidst all the action, our attention is drawn towards Mick Flanagan, who finds himself on signage removal duties – a symbolic task that signifies not only his commitment but also serves as a metaphorical farewell to cherished memories. The badge proudly displayed on each player's jersey reminds us of the deep-rooted passion and loyalty shared amongst teammates and supporters alike. It represents years of hard work, triumphs, and heartbreaks experienced within these hallowed grounds. Charlie Ley's expertly captured print transports us back to an era when football was played with grit and determination; where camaraderie flourished both on and off the pitch. This snapshot freezes time just before Charlton Athletic embarked on a new chapter in their storied history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but feel a sense of nostalgia for those days gone by - forever etched into our collective memory as part of footballing folklore.
