 | Charlton embarked on the 2006-07 season in uncharted waters after parting company with Alan Curbishley in the summer. |
 | Charlton progressed so rapidly through the local leagues that following the end of the First World War they joined the Kent League where they spent one season before turning professional and joining the Southern League in 1920. |
 | However, they immediately won the First Division championship and in 2003-04 achieved their highest-ever finish in the Premiership (7th) under the astute management of Curbishley, who had been in charge at the club since 1995 (having been joint manager with Steve Gritt between 1991 and 1995). |
