CHARLTON will be unveiling the Sam Bartram statue at The Valley tomorrow afternoon as part of the club's centenary celebrations.

Moira Bartram, daughter of the club's legendary goalkeeper, has flown in from her home in Canada to formally unveil the statue, which has been sited outside the main reception area in the West Stand.

It has been financed entirely by donations from supporters.

The afternoon starts at 1pm with a reception in the North Stand lounge to be followed by a performance by the Sub Rosa Theatre Company of the play Bartram Saves The Day.

The play was specially commisioned by the club's Centenary Schools History Project.

The statue is due to be unveiled at 3pm.
