Trivia
In Charlton's early years, they used to treat their opponents to a fish supper after games. In Estuary English, an 'Addick is the next best thing to a Haddock. Since then, they've been known as the Addicks.
The first ever substitution in the Football League took place on 21/08/1965 in a match between Charlton and the hosts, Bolton Wanderers. Keith Peacock came on for the Addicks keeper, Mike Rose on 11 minutes after he was injured. Between 1965 and 1967, substitutes were only allowed to replace injured players, and only one per match was allowed.
