Didn't he also score the winner against Watford at Selhurst when we beat them 4-3 ?
Yep.
The QPR last minute equaliser was excellent but my favourite was against Aston Villa (2-2) also at Selhurst. We made a really quick break and Gritt finished off some mayhem in the box by cracking it home.
The Port Vale away goal mentioned earlier gave us a really undeserved point. Another low drive into the bottom corner.
He had a couple of good games in goal too. Was doing ok v Palace in a Boxing Day game but got undone by a brilliant free kick from Peter Nicholas and then the Kevin Mabbutt "stuck in the mud" goal. He did really well away to Coventry but ultimately we were overwhelmed 3-0. There was also some talk of him starting a game in goal away to Carlisle but Lee Harmsworth was given his debut instead. Just as well....Gritt scored (I think) in a 1-1 with a low daisy cutter.
I was at that Coventry game. I remember him making a top corner save with his finger tips which earned him a great cheer.
Griity=proper Charlton Legend, I still see him playing down at Metrogas on a Sunday. He helped me a last year back when him and a few of his team mates helped with one of the 17 year old players that I manage had a seizure during a game.

Was at that too. Ogrizovic was in goal for Coventry and applauded it.
He wasn't averse to taking over in goal if I remember rightly. When did he do that?
Just twice...
Away to Palace, Boxing Day 84-85 season, lost 1-2, Tony Lange broke his ankle early on. Dave Madden scored with a big deflection late on for a consolation.
Away to Coventry, possibly 88-89, lost 0-3, Bob Bolder injured in the first half. Think Cyrille Regis scored at least one for Coventry.
