The Portugal Guys who were in talks at the same time as Thomas represent him. If they had managed to get their deal over the line he was probably going to be head coach.
That's it. For some reason i remember my seat was on the same side as the dugouts, amongst other Charlton fans?
Yep....we were fairly level with Lisbie when he scored. I think I remember Costa having a translator on the bench with him, so he could understand the instructions before he went on. He just stuck tight to Hasselbaink and didn't let him turn.
I remember I was in Amsterdam that night , late decision , mate could update his green card or whatever it was to work in New York in one day in Amsterdam or a week plus in UK … so 3 days in Amsterdam it was … Good times

In terms of prestige as a player in the modern era only Alan Simonsen and John Barnes would be able to touch Jorge Costa.
Not many clubs of our stature have had a Champions League winning captain play for them.
What a player, Midweek away game wasn’t it? I can’t find the team list but seem to recall he partnered Jon Fortune at the back.
Came on for Mark Fish, to partner Fortune with about 10 mins to go.
Kevin Lisbie headed the winner right at the end.
Remember Fish taking an incredibly long time limping off the pitch and the locals getting restless. Shithousery (as the kids say nowadays) at its finest. I guess we were happy with a point at that stage but then young Kevin stepped up! Happy days indeed.

Somehow think Lavelle and Inniss will never quite reach the same cult hero status.
Chelsea; Cudicini, Melchiot, Gallas, Terry, Babayaro; Lampard (he definitely played RM) Jokanovic, Dalla Bona, Zenden (Zola 46 mins) Hasselbaink, Gudjohnsen (Forsell)
Charlton; Kiely, Young, Fish (Costa), Fortune, Powell; Stuart, Parker, Jensen, Robinson (Konchesky 3 mins); Euell, Johansson (Lisbie)
Att; 33,504
Good times
... but it also serves as a reminder of how appalling everything is at our club now
Young Fish Costa Fortune.
A bit like our own Stevie Brown, who never let us down!
