Valiants comes from the sword on the club badge (which is the city of London insignia), and im with you about the Addicks term, though im not sure it cos we used to get changed in a chippy....more likely that we were close to woolwich dockyard where the fshermen used to come in saying..'Get yer 'Addocks'...well thats my take on it anyway.
We were also known as the Robins (Red & White kit), hence 'when the red red robin....etc)
Adey, i was there for the Boxing Day massacre of Chelsea too...great game especially first half.
We'll have to make it a social next time we're on TV.
