It reminds you of the joy that can be had supporting Charlton. That day meant so much more to us because it was probably a once in a lifetime event. Hopefully not though!
Surprised Palace's 1991 Zenith Data Systems Cup victory hasn't made the cut. Suspect Henry Cooper vs Cassius Clay will get a few extra votes considering the timing, certainly worthy of it's place on the list though.
Don't really understand why any of the last 6 are on there:
Chelsea vs Man Utd - why not West Ham 3 - 3 Liverpool, Liverpool 3 - 2 Everton, Coventry vs Spurs, well most Cup Finals were better than that one actually
England 5 - 1 Croatia - preferred 4-1 vs Holland in Euro 96, or 2- 0 vs Scotland
49ers vs Broncos - Touch Rugby should not be played on that once sacred turf.
It was once in a lifetime. I'm 55 and been going to watch the Addicks since I was five. Best day and only real hint of glory in all that time. Not expecting a repeat of that particular day if I'm honest.
Coventry Vs. Spurs is a good shout, but I am pretty sure West Ham 3 3 Liverpool was at Cardiff?
The Chelsea v United one is dreadful shout, and Spain V England was the worst game of the tournament until the pens. Which themselves are only memorable for not being a failure (and Stuart Pearce).
Comparing a play-off final to Live Aid is a little nonsensical too! Hand up those of you who remember the 1948 Olympics?
You're right about West Ham vs Liverpool, forgot about that. Very good point about the Olympics as well. Could probably list other glaring omissions all day long if I had the time to think about it.

Best day of my life
