Bartram, The Blitz and Beyond

I dont know if this has been posted before, but I found this via a Twitter link. A Charlton fans view of life as an Addick in the area around the 2nd world war. really sentimental and marvellous.

Magnificent. A fantastic piece of Nostalgia. Almost brought a tear to the eye.
Didnt know we got to 2 War time cup finals against Chelsea and Arsenal.

 

4 cup finals in 4 years i believe stu

 

Thanks for posting this, BlockM, I'd lost the link - what a lovely piece of work this is.

 

i was talking to bartrams relative at the hartlepool game last year and he was going put a scarf around the statue but was asked take it down by security ,he was telling me that jimmy seed the then manager took train up north to pick him up and take him to charlton showed me loads of photos utter respect for the bloke prob the best keeper ever play in england

 

Who did Jimmy Seed travel up north to pick up, you or the relative?It was not Bartram himself as Seed's brother scouted him.

Why would you have uttr respect for a man you just met or perhaps you mean Bartram.

You see JA, it is not clear as you lack punctuation or structure in anything you write.

 

Bartram has always been my all-time favourite player which is strange and difficult seeing he sadly died two years before I was born.

During my youth though I found an old photo round my Grandparents now I knew my Nan and Grandad were good ballroom dancers yet this photo confirmed they'd entered a won a small competition in the area simply because Sammy was presenting the trophy.

From that moment on Sam Bartram has always been a legend for me regardless what he did on the pitch
