Match 28 of 42 This memorable Charlton victory at the Den was the debut for Don Welsh, the team captain who would lift the FA Cup for Charlton at Wembley in 1947 after playing a huge role in the Club's rise to the 1st Division and three consecutive top 4 finishes in that elite league. Welsh played 216 games for Charlton in all competitions over 8 peacetime league seasons, also making 119 wartime appearances for the Addicks. He also played 40 wartime games as a guest at Liverpool, and later went on to become Liverpool manager between 1951 and 1956.
