Im sure morts got another typical mortimer special in the 2-2 mid week game against arsenal in 89?? I think we were wearing the yellow kit. Did the guy ever score a tap in!
yep him and mckenzie scored a couple of decent goals that game
So Morts scored a cracker and McKenzie scored two in a 2-2 draw?

Yes, Morts volley from edge of box, Mackenzie bullocking run and shot from distance.
I recall a goal against Notts County i think in 1990 at Selhurst, bloody brilliant. He had me at hello.....then the one against Bradford in 1999(?), fried gold.
Bradford was a brilliant goal. Browny got an absolute rocket in that game as well
One of my favourite games. Mendonca got two (his first at home?), there were two brawls, I touched the ball... and their goal was a blatant handball by Edinho. Pretty sure they had Youds playing for them as well. My sister thought it was boring and never went again.

and Beagrie was sent off for slapping Robinson .. Chris Kamara (the Brad manager at that time) sold us Youds very soon after that game
Both Paul and Chris should be knighted for their services to football and for being jolly nice blokes.
(If only I could have bottled how I felt after that famous show in the snow and could sell it, I would be a billionaire by now - thanks Morts)
This - Millwall in the snow - they couldn't get the ball off him, he was going round the same players 2 and 3 times. Bought the video of the game the club produced after, gotta dig that out - happier days :-)
He was like marmite back in the day, either loved or hated by the fans! I remember the Man City away match, when he got hold of the ball near the half way line other Charlton players pealing off, half my mates saying pass the ball you greedy.......then he ran through the middle and smashed it into the net. We all went mental looping! Genius!
Yeah, I seem to remember the stadium announcer referring to him as Paul Mortimore when the teams were read out, which is obviously how it was spelt in the programmes at the time....funny how it changed to mortimer once he became a regular...incorrectly spelt in the early days, or name changed by deed poll??!!!!
Loved his sliding tackles where he'd stand up with ball attached to his foot and stroll upfield. He'd push ball down line,again attached to his foot then drag it inside,completely wrong footing defenders. Was a decent full back and often CH in ressies. Marmite came because he never dived into a tackle but waited for a player to commit. Not many got past him though.
Fulham's loss was our gain. I don't know how a player of his quality managed to slip through the net and end up working in a bookstore before we gave him another chance. One of the most skillful players ever to play for CAFC.
First person i saw score for Charlton. Bristol city 1994? Went round 2/3 players and finished brilliantly. Pissing down with rain with BC in a horrible green and purple kit. May have been David Whyte
Nope that was Mortimer stonewall. Think Whyte scored that day as well but Mortimer scored a lovely and typical solo goal which I think he replicated against Wolves that same season. Both 3-2 wins I think.

How old are you stonewall , I had you down as an old codger like me (43) unless you were a late starter at Charlton
