Signed shirt from the Div 1 promoted side and an old £1 note signed by John Hollins.
On a seperate note my Charlton mate had the best collection of Charlton memorabillia which he 'recovered' from The Valley when Charlton were in trouble and ground sharing. It included all the team sheets submitted on matchdays, wage and contracts going back to before the war. He had about 10 boxes that he took home after a clean up at the Valley. He said that tramps had been burning some of the stuff. Anyhow a few years back he put the lot in for auction and got £5k for the lot, the buyer Charlton Athletic.
They tried to get him arrested for stealing the stuff,but he claimed he rescued the documents from destruction and cleaned them up, plus safe storage.
Everyone happy in the end.
