edited January 2012 in General Charlton
There's been a few over the years. I can recall:

Apoel Nicosia 9-0
La Gantoise 2-1 (I think)
Den Bosch 1-0
St Johnstone 0-4 (I think)

There's plenty of others nore recently but one around the time of La Gantoise that I can't remember......

    agreed! Powell got sent off didn't he?! Every time Robinson got the ball, their right back smashed him and Powell eventually lost it! (I don't think he served a ban for it tho!)

    We beat the Chinese national team 1-0 at home in the early 80's. Steve White scored with a header

    Forgot about that game! yes we did, we beat them 2-0 with Bent getting both (kind of). Chelsea's Kalou also played in the game.

    Dont think Powell was sent off, I think the ref advised Curbs to sub him off before he had to send him off. Your right though Powell lost it big time. Some of the filthy challenges going in from both teams were great.

    That Vicenza game was superb. I remember one of their players scored an absolute rocket as well.

    One Luca Toni played that day for Vicenza.

    There was also Lazio at home around '05, was that a 2-1 loss?
  • Sparta Prague mid sixties. Won 2-1 I think
    That's the one I was trying to remember. Well done, Len. I wonder who will remember Charlton v Bury on 31/1/12 in 2060?

    Actually, it may have been Chievo rather than Lazio. My bad.
