Thanks Callum. That has really put a smile on my face. It really is one of my favorite Charlton moments and sums up that team for me. OK we may be 'little Charlton' but don't take the Mick!
I was blown away by him in that game in 2003. Infact I don't think I have been so mesmerised by an opposition player like that. Tied Kishishev in knots.
Was chatting football bollocks with a mate and happen to come on to hostile atmospheres.
To this day I cannot think of any opposition player to get more abuse at Charlton than Rolando after the World Cup. The abuse Defoe and Parker got doesn’t go close to that game.

I always remember that season; press said that Ronaldo would get abuse everywhere he went after that World Cup incident
As it turned out we were the only fans to abuse him as it was Man Utd's first away game of the season

I reckon George Curtis of Coventry got more stick after he sent Matt Tees into row D of the old West Stand.

Carlton Cole when he played against us for Villa. Was visibly affected by it, even the Charlton players tried to console him at the end of the game.
A sign of how long Ronaldo's been playing at a world class level, that he was in the Premier League at the same time as Graham Stuart who left us 15 years ago!

Playing in the Premier League at the same time as Paolo Di Canio playing for us, think of all the things that have happened in that time, crazy

And widely considered to even be better now than he was then!

Hahaha very good.
Graham Stuart - there was an under rated player.

If my memory serves me correctly he missed some sitters and offered a fan out during the game.
Its bloody crazy really that Ronaldo is still playing.
@A2TR was about 7/8 at the time.
Cannot find a pic to embarrass him though - grrr.
