Ten Years Ago: did he not like that?

Graham Taylor's Wolves attracted a crowd of 10,002 to The Valley on 15th April 1995. My notes recall, 'Charlton started playing well against Wolves from the start and went one nil up with a David Whyte goal. Walsh hit the post soon afterwards, but Wolves rallied and equalised near to half time after Rufus had conceded an unnecessary corner.'

'Wolves threatened again after the break, but Charlton took a clear lead with goals from Walsh and Mortimer. But Wolves got one back and there were many difficult moments until the final whistle blew. Definitely the most entertaining match I have seen all season.'

On the station afterwards a Wolves fan was heard to say 'we must make sure the law isn't around' before hitting a lad of fifteen.

Player of the Year tickets were on sale in the ground at £5 for an event which was being held 'just around the corner from the Town Hall' at the prestige venue of the University of Greenwich student bar in Bathway.

In the Mercury Rick Everitt revealed that 'Club captain Alan McLeary is the first senior player to be shown the door at Charlton as the Addicks look to trim their wage bill.' The Rickster noted, 'The ex-Millwall man lost his place after the thrashing at Bolton in January and never looked like regaining it.'
