CAFCTrev said:Turns out there was an England u21 game at the Valley in 1997 v Georgia and an England u20 game in 2005 vs Russia. Be great if we could get more of these at the Valley, but its unlikely we do the required amount of FA arse kissing to get selected as a host these days.
Lee Bowyer and Richard Rufus were in the England U20 side.0 -

We have programmes from lots of youth and London FA Cup finals played at the Valley in the museum.
England v Sweden women's International too.
Will have a look at the spreadsheet tomorrow and try and find some more games0 -
Nigeria v Republic of Ireland, about 15 or so years ago.Just googled, it was 2004.0
-
Serie B vs EFL in 1998 I think. Weird game.0

1-1, I think Marcus Bent scored, can't be too sure thoughThink Charlton v New Zealand was a bit bizarre what with them being an International side though I went to the Unity Cup myself (think it was Jamaica v Ireland)
What was the score against NZ? I must have missed that one!
Seeing Charlton beat Feyenoord 2-0 seems a bit strange now. Surely the most random though are those weird games they put on of the kids that are played by YouTubers (not that I'd ever see one). Not even footballers playing - you can't get much more random than that.

Was that the game that Christiano Bolanos played for Charlton at The Valley, during his trial?
Thats the one, shocking how we couldnt get him a work permit when you compare him to Willian (who's barely played for Brazil) who someone how manages it for Chelsea!!0 -

Does anybody else recall a match we played against Spartak Moscow in about 1963 or 1964?
Can't remember anything about the game, but my best mate at school had the programme for years.
Presumably was a pre-season friendly or a testimonial match?

My primary school Timbercroft played a cup final some time in the mid 60s. I don’t know the opposition but it was the only time I ever sat in the old main stand.0

2002 or 2003: Charlton v Brøndby. Behind closed doors friendly played in the afternoon on a weekday. @HugoZHackenbush managed to get us in to watch the game and they also allowed a small group of Brøndby supporters in. From memory it ended 2-2.0
