    2000: Live beam back of Bolton v Charlton in the cup. Wrong result.

    This thread is heavily influenced by this book. I received as a gift for my birthday. Basic but informative.

    Basic, though the book is too small for a club of our history, but informative.

    1938: 64,782 watch Charlton play Aston Villa at Highbury in the FA Cup 5th Round, 2nd Replay. The aggregate crowd of 201,343 over three matches remains a cup record.

    Generally a bummer of a day for Charlton. We have lost our last six matches on this day and haven't won since 1953. Our most notable win was in 1929 when we beat Bournemouth and Boscombe 6-2.

    1922: Bob Thomson sets Charlton's record transer fee when he signs from Chelsea for £300.
    1923: Charlton's first appearance in the FA Cup 3rd Round, they beat 1st Division West Brom 1-0 (Goodman). The 31,489 crowd was at the time a new attendance record at The Valley.
    1951: Arsenal 2 Charlton 5 (Hurst, Jeppson 3, Evans). Arsenal's biggest defeat for 22 years and the first time a London club had put 5 past them.
    2007: Charlton 4 West Ham 0 (Ambrose, Thomas 2, Bent). My personal recollection of this match is that on the way to the game, but unknown to us at the time, my eldest son trod in dog mess. Four times we scored, and being little, four times he stood on his seat to cheer. With each goal the smell got a little worse until the last goal when we realised what had happened, by then he had dog squit all the way up the back of his coat, it was disgusting.

    1911: Don Welsh born. Charlton's FA Cup winning captain.
    1988: Rúrik Gíslason born. Whatever happened to Rúrik? I seem to remember that we had such high hopes for him.
  • 26th February

    2000: Charlton beat Sheffield Utd 1-0 thanks to a John Robinson goal just after half time. This put us 8 points ahead of Man City at the top of the First Division.
    2010: Kyel Reid scores in the last minute to give Charlton a 2-1 victory over Southend at Roots Hall. Akpo got the first.

    1942: Mike Bailey born. 169 appearances 22 goals for The Addicks. He was the last Charlton player before Chris Powell to win an England cap, playing in a 10-0 victory against the USA and a 2-1 victory against Wales. He was also the last manager (before CP?) to get us promoted from the 3rd tier.
    1984: Judge agrees to a winding up order. Judge to Charlton chairman Mark Hulyer, “I have the impression that if I give another adjournment, there will be yet another story of hopes unfulfilled next time we came back to court”.
  • 28th February

    2001: Chris Powell makes his debut for England helping to beat Spain 3-0 at Villa Park.

    He is ignored in this report, but it is quite funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzy7Lfg500M

    1936: Charlton have only ever won once on 29th Feb; when they beat Swansea Town 4-1 (Robinson, Hobbis, Welsh, Allen). Just as this morning, there was a bit of confusion as a result of betting: To try and stop the pools companies from profiteering on the backs of football. The league didn't announce the fixtures until the last minute, even the people writing the match programme did not know who Charlton were going to play.
  • i like feb 28th , i wouldn't cross the road for an england friendly but i made the pilgrimage to villa park to worship SCP and 11 years on the trip to Chesterfield was just as rewarding thanks to SCP ... i love him more than life itself !

    1947: 6th Round Proper of FA Cup. Charlton beat Preston 2-1 (Duffy, Hurst). Jimmy Seed was ill and listened to match commentary down the phone.

    1920: Abandoned friendly against Spurs reserves (Spurs were leading 3-0 at the time with one of their goals scored by Jimmy Seed). It might not sound that important, but it directly led to the decision for Charlton to become a professional club. At one point it was even proposed that we'd be funded by Spurs.
