1999: A Hunt brace sees us beat Sheffield Utd 2-1 at Bramall Lane. 2007: Two Reid penalties in the last five minutes enable us to beat Norwich 2-0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCfVcrNRknk One of the rare occasions when Gary Doherty helped us to three points. Thanks Gary!

1961: First floodlit match at The Valley. Charlton lose to Rotherham. 1983: Paul Hayes born. 2005 We beat Hartlepool 3-1 in the league cup (Johansson, Bent, Bothroyd). Who would have thought then, that this would have been anything other than a one off encounter or that we'd have armies of Oompaloompahs and Smurfs visiting us?
1985: Last match at The Valley. Charlton beat Stoke 2-0 (Stuart, Lee). Demonstrations before, during and after the match. Here's Robert Lee's take on it.
1953: Charlton 6 (Evans 2, Leary 4), Liverpool 0. Liverpool, managed by Don Welsh, suffered their biggest defeat for 19 years and were later relegated. 1992: Tosan Emiko Ebigbeyi Popo born.

Not only was this unusual from the perspective of Lisbie's performance, but the match was also live on Sky.
1957: Charlton 5 Liverpool 1 (Leary, Ayre 3, Byrne o.g.)
My Dad was at this game - I remember going through his old programmes in the late 70's when Liverpool were in their pomp and not believing that we had stuffed them

Fantastic! I wonder if there were any lifers there. There's one or two oldies on here.
1962: Charlton were forced to put notices around the ground warning people to keep off the pitch following a complaint from the referee at the match against Rotherham on this date that a swarm of boys had invaded the pitch and that one of them had hit him on the neck with a large ice cream. 2001: Catalogues thrown on the pitch in protest at Brown's sending off in the 2-0 win against Leicester.
2006: Darren Bent gives Charlton an early lead against Arsenal. But it was snatched away by two goals from Van Persie. The second, a shinned volley, looked quite spectacular but by that stage he shouldn't have been on the pitch.

That still makes my blood boil, deliberate hand ball and a dodgy tackle.........shouldn't have even have been on the pitch.
1938: Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain visits The Valley to watch Charlton draw 4-4 with Birmingham. A bit of propaganda following the Munich agreement? 1960: Charlton 7 (Summers 5) Portsmouth 4 1994: Charlton 3 (Nelson, Grant, Whyte) Watford 0 2011: Keromorgant scores within seconds of coming on as Charlton beat Sheffield Utd 2-0 at Bramall Lane. BWP gets the second a couple of minutes later.
1998: Eddie Youds scores one of his two league goals for us to give Charlton a 1-0 victory over Forest at the City Ground. Our first ever Premiership away win.
1980: 0-0 draw away to Barnsley. The start of a club record fifteen match unbeaten run. Ironically the Barnsley game is the only one in the last eight games held on 4th October that we haven't won. The other seven being: 1977 Brighton 4-3; 1978 Chesterfield 5-4; 1986 Chelsea 1-0; 1989 Hereford 1-0; 1997 QPR 4-2; 2003 Portsmouth 2-1; 2008 Ipswich 2-1 1987: Official opening of Sparrows Lane.
1962: Tommy Caton born. Signed for Charlton for £100k in 1988. The following summer a freak accident at home gave him a gash so bad that he required 48 stitches and two skin grafts. Despite this he still managed to make 24 appearances for Charlton the following season. Sadly the Addicks were relegated though. Tommy stayed with the club after relegation, but retired following a foot injury in January 1991. Three months later Tommy died of a heart attack. According to this source Tommy's heart attack may not have been entirely natural. In all, he made 57 appearances and scored 5 goals for The Addicks.
1982: Madjid Bougherra born. 34 games and 2 goals for the Addicks. Now at Lekhwiya Sports Club, last year's Champions of the Qatar Stars League. 1983: Mark Hulyer reaches an agreement with Inland Revenue, but Michael Gliksten still claims the club owes him over £½m.
1900: Harry Wyper born. 13 goals in 88 matches for this right winger, including 4 from 42 in our 1928-29 promotion season. 1984: Joe Anyinsah born. 3 goals in 19 matches for The Addicks, including the second in the 4-3 win at Brunton Park in October 2010. Could have been a great player for us, but was unfortunately injured too often. Is currently with Bristol Rovers.
1937: Charlton 5 (Welsh 2, Robinson, Hobbis, Tadman) Portsmouth 1. 1976: Derek Hales scores a wonder goal (with the help of Colin Powell) as Charlton beat Hull City 3-1. The goal was later selected on The Big Match as their goal of the season.
Charlton have won six and lost four, but they've never drawn a match on this day. The last three matches were all wins: 1988: Northampton 2-1, 1986: Everton 3-2, 1980: Sheffield Utd. 2-0.
