Lots of mildly interesting and varied footage here via British Pathe of Charlton in the 30's and 40's if anyone is mildly interested http://www.britishpathe.com/search/query/charlton athletic You can also find speeches from Nye Bevan on the site
It's like watching a different sport with the leather ball the lead-like football boots, defenders diving in on players who stayed on their feet, goalies whacking the ball upfield before they got battered by the centre-forward.
