I was at the Valley for Killer's goal, and at Craven Cottage for Rodney Marsh's runner up goal.

MrLargo

Believe he's available so why not?

Thanks for that Absurdistan. A truly memorable goal.
I was there in my usual spot on the East Terrace in '76 with my two boys then aged 3 & 4. All three of us are still season ticket holders. Two of the chums I was with that day are also ST holders in the row behind us.

I was on the terrace between the West Stand and the Covered end trying to look hard and failing miserably at 13 years of age.

But what about Colin Powells contribution?

They made it look so simple back then, pass it forward from the back, get it out to a decent winger, stick it in the box. Hey Presto! a goal. Loved Phil Warman in those days, proper feisty little full back.

Please someone send this link to the coaching staff at Sparrows Lane.

If you find Killer, ask him if he is available for Saturday.

Thanks Absurdistan; always nice to see that, one of my all time favourite Charlton goals, created and scored by two genuine CAFC legends. Nice too to see it in context of the time.

How fast was Powell in that clip. I wish some of our present players would make the same effort.

Six-a-bag-of-nuts

There's a point in the build up to that goal where somebody clearly shouts out "rubbish".
Some things never change!

Aging_Covered_Ender

I was there, with my Dad, on our old spot on the little bit of terracing between the Covered End and the West Stand. Just look at that diagonal run from one end of the pitch to the other by Paddy Powell. Fabulous player. I think the shout of "rubbish" is directed at Phil Warman who seems to slow the move down. If we could scan the crowd in the post goal celebrations we would probably see a shamefaced individual suddenly requiring a trip to the gents. Those were great days for footy at the Valley. Also: am I the only person annoyed (38 years too late) that Killer is pictured in a Derby County shirt when the late and genuinely great Brian Moore announces the goal of the season? Even now it really takes the edge off.

Covered End

I was 14 when we sold Killer to Derby. Never been as gutted since, over a player sale. Although Parker's came close.

Seconded. Except I was not quite 14!

I had you down as a lot older than that for some reason £333k off the top of the head wasn't it if memory is not playing tricks on me.

The other ones that really hurt me at the time were Kinsella to Villa and Gordon Watson to the MASSIVE Sheff Weds.

How about John Humphrey to Crystal Palace?

PS: I couldn't believe it when Hales scored 8 in 12 in 1985 (including his record breaking diving header v Huddersfield?)....so we let him go to Gillingham for next to nothing!!! One day someone will explain why we did that.

Been in contact with Gordon recently, used to play in the same team as him, crackin fella and even now so down to earth.

He got an "assist" trophy, the only time ITV did that, I think.

Saw him at Southampton a few years ago, he's a fecking unit now.

killer kish

I still have the paper from the day after the Huddersfield game with the headline saying HALES KING OF THE SIX YARD BOX

Covered End

Hales was indeed sold for £333K & yes John Humphrey's sale to the Nigel's to pay the rent was really gutting.

I wasn't as bothered about Kins going as I knew his knees had gone.

Phil Warman good memories. I remember when we played Wrexham three games in a season and they were brutal games.
I remember Joey Jones topping Killer and putting him out for a couple of weeks. Come the last game of three Phil caused a mass punch up and when the dust settled Jones was laid out on the floor. Wonder who did that!

DaveMehmet

I remember in one programme Q&A he put the 7 0 defeat against Brighton as his most memorable match.

Big William

He did a Q and A in Shoot! I think it was, he listed his favourite TV show as Tom and Jerry, and his occupation if he wasn’t a footballer as a Burglar!
