For Charlton Athletic Football Club supporters, their club will always
be a part of their lives. A Charlton supporter since the mid-1960s,
David Ramzan has seen some of the best and worst of times - from playing
in the old Second Division, dropping into the Third, ground sharing with
local rivals, promotion to the First Division, then relegation and later
promotion in the most dramatic final ever played at the home of English
football. On a roller-coaster football journey, the club has always been
an integral part of the local community, where organisations run by fans
have grown alongside the club since it was first formed in 1905. In
Charlton Athletic: A History - produced with the assistance of members
of the Former Players' Association, the club, supporters' groups and
associated organisations - David Ramzan charts the history of the South
East London club and also those groups, whether independent or part of
the establishment, that have made Charlton Athletic one of the most
respected clubs in the world of football.
