On 22 November 2008 Charlton suffered a 2 – 5 loss to Sheffield United at home, which meant that the club had gone eight successive games without a win and had slipped into the relegation zone — particularly disastrous considering they were among the pre-season favourites for promotion.

As the season wore on, Phillips suffered a lack of form, going two months without a goal until his volley against Charlton Athletic.

However, he suffered another muscle injury, and with further competition for places in the form of Dean Chandler and Richard Rufus, he failed to make a single appearance for Charlton in the 1993 – 94 season and was released at the end of it.

His season was curtailed in early May when he suffered a fractured fibula against Charlton Reserves.

In 1984 financial matters came to a head and the club went into administration, to be reformed as Charlton Athletic ( 1984 ) Ltd.

Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association ; he deserves whatever anyone says about him.

Anyway, Charlton Heston shows up with guns over his head after a school shooting and then says in the documentary it's because of ethnic diversity that we have problems with violence in America.

While that film featured a larger " all star " cast ( in fact, Universal had approached several, including Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, to star in Earthquake-but they had already been signed for Inferno ), Universal was able to land Charlton Heston in the lead role, along with Ava Gardner ( who signed at the proverbial " 11th hour " simply because she wanted to spend the summer in Los Angeles ), George Kennedy, Lorne Greene, Geneviève Bujold ( who agreed to a part in the film to head off an impending lawsuit by Universal over a prior project ), Richard Roundtree ( riding a wave of success from the Shaft film series ), former evangelical Marjoe Gortner as an antagonist, and newcomer Victoria Principal.

The head coach of the Georgia Southern men's basketball squad is Charlton Young, who has been at the helm for the Eagles since 2009.

During the American Civil War, Union cavalry officer Major Amos Dundee ( Charlton Heston ) is relieved of his command for an unspecified tactical error ( though it is implied that he showed too much initiative ) at the Battle of Gettysburg and was sent to head a prisoner-of-war camp in the New Mexico Territory.

He made a shock move to English Second Division side Charlton Athletic for £ 300, 000 in October 1982.

Charlton held the record for most appearances for Manchester United ( 758 ), but this was surpassed by Ryan Giggs on 21 May 2008 ( the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final ).

Charlton also held the club record for most league appearances ( 606 ) until this too was overtaken by Giggs on 6 March 2011.

In January 2011 Charlton was voted the 4th greatest Manchester United player of all time by the readers of Inside United and ManUtd. com, behind Ryan Giggs ( who topped the poll ), Eric Cantona and George Best.

Charlton was related to several professional footballers on his mother's side of the family: his uncles were Jack Milburn ( Leeds United and Bradford City ), George Milburn ( Leeds United and Chesterfield ), Jim Milburn ( Leeds United and Bradford City ) and Stan Milburn ( Chesterfield, Leicester City and Rochdale ), and legendary Newcastle United and England footballer Jackie Milburn, was his mother's cousin.

On 9 February 1953, Bedlington Grammar School pupil Charlton was spotted playing for East Northumberland schools by Manchester United chief scout Joe Armstrong.

He worked his way through the pecking order of teams, scoring regularly for the youth and reserve sides before he was handed his first team debut against Charlton Athletic in October 1956.

Charlton, still only 19, was selected for the game, which saw United goalkeeper Ray Wood carried off with a broken cheekbone after a clash with Villa centre forward Peter McParland.

Though Charlton was a candidate to go in goal to replace Wood ( in the days before substitutes, and certainly before goalkeeping substitutes ), it was teammate Jackie Blanchflower who ended up between the posts.

Charlton was an established player by the time the next season was fully underway, which saw United, as current League champions, become the first English team to compete in the European Cup.

Charlton, strapped into his seat, had fallen out of the cabin and when United goalkeeper Harry Gregg ( who had somehow got through a hole in the plane unscathed and begun a one-man rescue mission ) found him, he thought he was dead.

Gregg returned to the plane to try to help the appallingly injured Busby and Blanchflower, and when he turned around again, he was relieved to see that Charlton and Viollet, both of whom he had presumed to be dead, had got out of their detached seats and were looking into the wreckage.

Charlton was the first injured survivor to leave hospital, Harry Gregg and Bill Foulkes were not hospitalized since they escaped uninjured.

Charlton was handed his debut as England romped home 4 – 0, with the new player gaining even more admirers after scoring a magnificent thumping volley dispatched with authority after a cross by the left winger Tom Finney.

In between, there was the pressing matter for Charlton of the 1966 World Cup for which England, as hosts, had not needed to qualify.

England defeated Argentina 1 – 0 – the game was the only one in which Charlton received a caution – and faced Portugal in the semi finals.

Charlton opened the scoring with a crisp side-footed finish after a run by Roger Hunt had forced the Portuguese goalkeeper out of his net ; his second was a sweetly struck shot after a run and pull-back from Geoff Hurst.

Charlton's next England game was his 75th as England beat Northern Ireland ; 2 caps later and he had become England's second most-capped player, behind the veteran Billy Wright, who was approaching his 100th appearance when Charlton was starting out and ended with 105 caps.

In 1969, Charlton was awarded the OBE for services to football.

Shortly before the World Cup Charlton was involved in the Bogotá Bracelet incident in which he and Bobby Moore were accused of stealing a bracelet from a jewellery store.

Born in Ashington, Northumberland, Charlton made his debut for the Manchester United first-team in 1956, and over the next two seasons gained a regular place in the team, during which time he survived the Munich air disaster of 1958 after being rescued by Harry Gregg.

Charlton went on to play for England schoolboys, and despite offers that followed from several other clubs, the 15-year-old signed with United on 1 January 1953, along with Wilf McGuinness, also aged 15.

Charlton played 14 times for United in that first season, scoring twice on his debut and managing a total of 12 goals in all competitions, and including a hat-trick in a 5 – 1 away win over Charlton Athletic in the February.

Luckily for Charlton, he had all three.

Moore was later arrested and detained for four days before being granted a conditional release, while Charlton was not arrested.

Charlton played in all three, though was substituted for Alan Ball in the final game of the group against Czechoslovakia.

Beckenbauer pulled a goal back for the Germans and Ramsey replaced the ageing and tired Charlton with Colin Bell who further tested the German keeper Maier and also provided a great cross for Geoff Hurst who uncharacteristically squandered the chance.

His last game was against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on 28 April 1973, and before the game the BBC cameras for Match of the Day captured the Chelsea chairman handing Charlton a commemorative cigarette case.

Charlton finished second bottom in the Football League in 1926 and were forced to apply for re-election which was successful.

The club began to groundshare with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park and this arrangement looked to be for the long-term, as Charlton did not have enough funds to revamp the Valley to meet safety requirements.

Despite the move away from the Valley, Charlton were promoted to the First Division as Second Division runners-up at the end of 1985 – 86, and remained at this level for four years ( achieving a highest league finish of 14th ) often with late escapes, most notably against Leeds in 1987, where the Addicks triumphed in extra-time of the play-off final replay to secure their top flight place.

In 1987 Charlton also returned to Wembley for the first time since the 1947 FA Cup final for the Full Members Cup final against Blackburn.
