I was there also. It was December 1957. Alas, my Dad dragged me out when we were 6 - 3 down. That is the reason I won't leave a match before the end no matter what is happening on the pitch.
Remember the Brentford game, we lost 1-3 there on the previous Saturday and faced them in the second leg in midweek winning 5.0. Did someone get a hat-trick, either Paul Walsh or Killer?
Strangely enough, we then played them at home again on the following Saturday for our first league game of the season, winning 3-1.

I'm pretty sure that Paul Walsh, just 17 years old at the time, scored a hatrick in the 5-0 win.
What was the score in the Wimbledon league cup game?, I think it was either 3-3 or 4-4 in the 2nd leg at home but the first game was also high scoring!

The first game was 4-5 away with Bowyer getting a hat trick. The second finished 2-3 after 90 mins, then in extra time, we scored the equaliser on the night and the winner of the tie to make it 3-3 on the night after extra time and for us to go through, or was it 4-4, sure we won 9-8 on agg.
It could'nt have been 6-3, as they scored their 6th to level the scores.

Yes I remember it. Walsh scored a hat trick in front of about 4,200 at a guess.
Was privileged to be at both the 7-6 against Huddersfield and the 7-4 against Pompey. Was also at Luton when we won 6-1 which I think is still our highest away score
Now im going to rack everyones Brain, but i think (memory ain't what it used to be) i was at a dodgy (full members or whatever it was called) in the early to mid 80's where there was a very small crowd but we won 7-0, could just all be a dream though could be the brain addled by alcohol as well :-) over to all you statos to shoot me down and ruin my memories
Sorry, but no. The only "7" we've been involved in since I started going in 1969 was when we lost 7-0 at Brighton.
We were 5-0 down at HT. It was so bad we decided to make the best of it & were doing the conga.
That was probably in the 70's.
It was sweetened a little by our winning there 2-5 some years later.
Burnley stuck 7 past us too.
Not sure when but Les Berry was playing and went off injured I think
Ended up with 9 men up Burnley....Dennis got nicked after the game aswell.
In the 26 years I've been following Charlton I'm pretty sure we haven't scored six in a competitive game home or away. The same conversation must go on all over the Valley every time we score five: "I've never seen us score six you know........"
My first ever game at Charlton, just been relegated from the old 1st Div. We beat Middlesboro' 6-2. Can vaguely remember Brian Clough and Peter Taylor playing for Boro. I was still at School!
Charlton 6 Southampton 2, as I remember it was an evening game September ( ish ) 76, I went with a girlfriend and left with a couple ( or so I thought ) minutes to go with us winning 4-2 to walk to my car parked in the Heights as soon as I was out of the ground I heard another goal go in and got to the Heights just in time to look back ( you could then ) and see Hales get his hat trick......Doh!
Anyone at Barnsley today COYR! Years ago saw us beat Swansea 6-2 at the valley and also 6-2 v Middlesboro' when they had Brian Clough and Peter Taylor playing for them!
So glad I came to oakwell and dragged Eric jnr with me. 41 years of following charlton and never seen anything like it. If fuller could shot straight it might have been double figures but mustn't be greedy!
Those of us who who were lucky enough to support the Club in the 50's/60's were used to seeing a glut of high-scoring matches 7-6 v Huddersfield, 6-6 v Middlesborough, 6-1 away at Luton, 7-4 v Portsmouth, 8-1 v Middlesborough, 6-4 v Plymouth and I hate to say it, but an 11-1 defeat at Villa thrown in as well. I can proudly say that I attended all of these matches. However, the game has changed so much since then, especially with regards to the weight of the ball and the heavy boots which were worn in that era.

It maybe just felt like we'd let in 7.
I remember losing 1-5 at Home to them too in about 74
Strangely enough, we then played them at home again on the following Saturday for our first league game of the season, winning 3-1.
Hopefully this will be the season.
