This made me smile
On a day when being a Charlton fan left us grimacing, this little video gave me a huge smile, and I bet upstairs Dave Thomson, who passed away a little over a year ago, was doing just the same.
Dave ‘salvaged’ this old floodlight from The Valley at the time of us leaving the hallowed old place in 1985. I know Dave did the club a favour by salvaging a fair few items at that time.
Anyway he’d always planned to get this floodlight working and install it in his back garden. He eventually gave up and donated it 10-years ago to the Charlton Museum.
On Friday the wonderful team at the Museum finally got it working and switched it on. 💡
Beautiful. RIP Dave.

Typical Charlton trying to save money by installing a 40 watt bulb! 🙂
