No Virginia not the Addicks or the Valiants - when I was a boy we were the Robins!
From the Wikipedia entry for the song;
"The English football club Charlton Athletic play Billy Cotton's version of the song as the team come out on to the pitch at their home ground The Valley".

I know we should be concentrating on avoiding the drop to "Division 3" football, but a FA Cup semi-final at Wembley would be huge for morale as our new masters strip the Club of its best players in an effort to get Standard Liege into the Champions League. Football is of course big business, and big business is big money - it sounds lucrative in the short term, but in the long term the money available to a team "residing" in the Premier League far outstrips that of the Champions League.
