    Brilliant watching that brings back some good memories....36 points wasn't a bad total for that season, it was just that run in the middle 3rd that put us down, still we came back a lot stronger and the rest is history now, still remember the massives taking the piss on the last day though.....wankers.

    That season had 2 of my best away days 3-3 at Anfield and this.

    Remember being drenched and standing on my seat asking my dad "why can't we do this all the time?"

    Remember it like yesterday. Best match I've ever been to. Even trumps the play-off final for me.

    Went to every away day that season,the 0-0 at Newcastle first game was briliiant especially as we finished with 10 after Rufus got sent off,but that Villa game was an absolute classic Charlton performance,Villa fans shaking hands as we left the stadium wishing us luck,which sadly we did not get last game of the season against Wednesday.

    I was listening to this on clubcall. Probably cost about 300 quid. I regret nothing.

    Yes, we were shaking hands with Villa fans afterwards, never done that with oppo fans before or since.

    Went crying to my room when it went 3-3 because I thought we'd been relegated

    Had my Mum screaming upstairs telling me that Danny Mills had won it

    Almost got thrown out of Dixon’s in Bluewater when I was crowded round a tele watching soccer Saturday. Mills scored and I went bat shit mental rolling around on the floor kicking my legs in the air

    One of my favourite away days I’ve ever had. Was only 11.
    Dont care what it looks like in any video highlights, that Steve Brown save from the free kick was one of the best saves I’ve ever seen.

    Didn't Villa try punting long range shots at Brownie for the rest of the game? If they'd given him the courtesy of treating him like a proper keeper, I reckon they probably would have won, but they wasted their chances.

    Who’s the commentator?

    Can see myself behind the goal. Glad I was too young to drink in those days. Amazing game.

    Any difference between Petterson's challenge on Joachim and Shea's (Luton) challenge on Vetokele...? ;)

    Was living in Birmingham at the time and spent the next few days on a high driving around the city like a loon with a Charlton scarf fluttering from the window. Looking back on it the locals must have thought wtf but hey ... games like that don't come along very often.

    Southgate said after the game that out support was unbelievable. As i recall they even opened up a side stand to get more in.

    Other than the Rufus goal at Wembley i cant remember going apeshit like i did when Mills rocket hit the net.

    Mendoncs last goal for us as well.
    Was it??

    Certainly one of my most memorable awaydays. Villa fans were great afterwards. I was a sad, lonely sod that day, driving there and back on my own but we were all mates once inside the ground with a fantastic atmosphere, despite our  circumstances at the time. Shame the following Saturday was such an anticlimax.

    It was Barry Davies.
