I remember Chris Eagles featuring in this match at The Valley for Man Utd. He was one of the standout players that night along with Giuseppe Rossi.
Just for interest I have looked to find the teams but can't find a list anywhere on the web.
Anyone have them?

Interesting to see the comments gravitating to the manure side.
We had quite a few ex England youth players in that side. Sadley they never made it.
2 cracking goalies though.
Overwhelmingly the most striking thing about this thread is the realisation that the number of home supporters for full first team matches today has almost dropped to a level which our reserve team could attract a decade ago.
On that Man Utd team I forgot David Bellion even existed.
Fail at Man U and you have a decent career at prem/champ level.
Fail at Charlton and end up in Non-League :-)
Who was the manager back then? I want him OUT!
He says they are looking over their shoulders nervously expecting to be in the mix for the last relegation place - and he isn't a typically negative fan.
He is absolutely gutted they didn't go in for Eagles.
their much lauded takeover is stalling and they have a dozen bits of deadwood to clear out.
Interesting to hear how amazed he has been with our signings.
Guiseppe Rossi has 30 caps for his country, which considering his extensive injury problems is a decent amount
