'From the moment I arrived at The Valley, until I bought the staff champagne when I departed, I found in existence there something that the largest transfer fee in the world cannot purchase: team spirit, club loyalty (and) a respect for each other.' Eddie Firmani, Football with the Millionaires, London: The Sportsman's Book Club, 1960, p.16.

Quote of the Day (9) Sam Bartram
Quote of the Day (9) 'Disregard the glamour of being a star and aim at being a player of whom your team mates and everyone can say: "He never plays a bad game" Be loyal to your club and your colleagues; work hard, train hard, try hard; give of your best for the entire 90 minutes of a match - and always "play the game". For the more you are prepared to give soccer, the more it will give you in return. That is something my own long spell in the game has taught me.' Sam Bartram By Himself, London: Burke Publishing, 1956, p.155. republished by Charlton Athletic, 1996.

Quote of the Day (8) Bob Bolder
Quote of the Day (8) This is from our skipper: 'Since I retired I have been involved working with Charlton helping coaching the kids under the Charlton Athletic Community Trust. Charlton have been really good to me and it's a fantastic family club. I also do hospitality on match days and it's really good to be involved.' Bob Bolder, on Liverpoolfc.com 20/5/2014.
