Match 24 of 42 This match was the Charlton Athletic debut for Jimmy Oakes, who would go on to play 234 games for the Club between this day and the outbreak of the Second World War. Jimmy Oakes was in the Port Vale team that played Charlton on Boxing Day 1932, in a match that was abandoned after an hour due to worsening fog. When the match was re-played in April 1933 Jimmy was on the pitch again, this time as a Charlton player - the first to play for both teams in the same fixture.
Match 30 of 42 Like Jimmy Oakes, Monty Wilkinson played an important role in Charlton Athletic's rise to top flight glory in the seasons before the Second World War. He played 235 times for the Addicks in all competitions between this Saturday and the end of the 1938-39 season.
