Charlton Athletic wasr formed in 1905,nicknamed the Addicks, they joined
the Football League in 1921 and reached the First Division in 1936.
charlton finished their first ever top-flight season in second place
and after the Second World War, there success continued with an FA Cup
final victory in 1947. But Charlton suffered relegation in 1957 and
it was the start of a 30-year spelli out of the top flight and in the
lower divisions. The financial implications of their time outside the
top-division became apparent in 1985, when they were forced to leave
their home ground, The Valley. Charlton were eventually promoted in
1986 and proved critics wrong by staying in Division One for four seasons.
And in 1992 the day had arrived when they were able to move back to
The Valley. Six years later, they claimed their place in the Premiership
for the first time. Charlton's Premiership lasted just one season but
they return immediately and saw a improvement with a ninth-placed finish
in 200.
