    Northwich Victoria, and then Sheffield United. also Millwall 0-2 at Upton Park...I know we always lose to them but that game plumbed depths so low it was very hard to take.

    Off field I have to agree 'Mate to a Match' was cringeworthy.

    In the Selhurst era, the programme was always full of spelling mistakes. Even our own players suffered - for example Paul Mortimer was spelt Mortimore. I seem to remember one time even the club name was misspelt Charleton. In our own programme ffs! How embarrassing is that?

    That geezer curling one down in the park on the way to the Fulham FA Cup match a couple of years ago...

    The so-called "ongoing arrangement" with Liverpool to loan some of their young talent as part of the JJS sale.
    We got Nathan Eccleston and nowt else and he was F.U.

    When we dropped the woolwich as our sponsors (think it was the upton park share era) and bob bolder wore a keepers top that had " the woolwich " taped over.

    The merchandise catalogues getting thrown on the pitch when Steve Brown was sent off for a blatant handball that he tried to hide by pretending he was injured.

    Well can it at least get into Room 102?

    well i guess a punch up between killer and flash on the pitch was a pretty low point

    - or a badge of honour, unique in English professional football at the time, and emulated only by Lee Bowyer's (ex-Charlton) punch-up and sending-off with his team-mate at Newcastle many years later...

    I blame it all on Peter Burrowes. Or Burrows. Or Burroughs.

    The KP Crisps promotion at The Valley, circa 1985. We were each presented with a bag at the turnstiles and thrown more - over the security fence - by a bird on the touchline. We in the Covered End hurled them all back - bombarded her with cheese & onion - until she was reduced to tears and ran back to the tunnel, pausing only to turn and give us the wanker sign.

    Hang on - that wasn't an embarrassment - that was bloody good fun.
