    Product description

    Charlton Athletic - Championship Goals on DVD is a collection of goals from the 2007/08 and 2008/09 Championship seasons, with extended highlights where available.

    After seven consecutive seasons in the Premier League, Charlton Athletic returned to Football League competition in 2007 as promotion favourites. Despite the loss of many top flight stars, the Addicks invested heavily in new talent under manager Alan Pardew and, for a time, looked as if they might fulfil those heady summer expectations. But Pardew failed to find the formula for success and the side eventually sank into mid-table.

    Worse was to follow, with Pardew eventually leaving the club in November 2008 to be replaced by his assistant, Phil Parkinson, who could do little to arrest the slide. Almost unbelievably, Charlton slipped into the third tier in the spring of 2009, although by the end of that campaign there were some signs that the new boss had begun to restore the Addicks' battered pride.

    No DVD from these seasons was initially produced. But in an echo of the spirit that had got the club back to The Valley, fans refused to let the matter rest, and more than 300 supporters paid advance subscriptions to ensure that a video record stretching back to the mid-1980s would be continued.

    Here, then, are the Championship goals of Chris Iwelumo, Zheng Zhi, Luke Varney, Darren Ambrose, Andy Reid, Andy Grey, Nicky Bailey, Deon Burton, and all the others, for and against, in competitive first-team matches during the 2007/08 and 2008/09 seasons, with extended highlights where available. The DVD compilation also includes Valley hero Chris Powell's SE7 swansong and three wins over neighbours Crystal Palace.
