Eight Charlton academy graduates star on the cover of Saturday's Valley Review for the visit of Barnsley as the club celebrates its annual academy and Valley Gold Day.

Meanwhile, Jim Melrose is the latest former Addick to feature in Cult Heroes, U21s captain Keenan Gough stars in Academy Ace and Tyreece Campbell reveals all in The Last Word.
