Unique

An oft used word in the RD / KM era, but there must be a decent list that preceded the Belgian buffoons.

When squad lists were introduced, we "uniquely" went in alphabetical order, so our number 2 (Balmer) wore number 1, and our number 1 (Bolder) wore number 2. What other examples of pre-fuckwit fuckwittery are there?

    Hales & Flanagan punch up, before it became more common place to lump a team mate.

    Sam Bartram stood alone on a pitch for 15 minutes when everyone else was in the Changing Rooms and a Police Officer had to get him

    The ball burst in both our FA Cup Finals.

    It's never happened in any other FA Cup Final.

    Signing an agreement with the New England Teamen and allowing our two best players to go over there before we were safe in 1978. Needless to say this led to a last game shootout with Orient where we narrowly avoided relegation.

    The model Endsleigh owl that someone managed to string up from the girders of the West Stand in the 90s. Stayed there for ages, swinging in the breeze. Major Health and Safety issue these days.

    The name of a bar just opened near me. Nice modern bar/ restaurant but a bit pricey. Food good quality though.
    Showed our WC games in English although Scandinavia owned in a Spanish town because England were playing. Bit of class don’t you think?

    We might have a bit of a wait for that one.

    Two words. “Selhurst” and “ Park”.

    First team to talk about moving to Milton Keynes, suppose in our case it’s unique as we didn’t go in the end.

    Unique foundation amongst English league clubs

    Unique nickname

    Unique in founding own political party

    Possibly unique in leaving a home ground on a permanent basis but returning home, twice.

    Yes but the OP asked for examples of pre Belgian fuckwittery. If the whole Selhurst thing doesn’t count as fuckwittery, I don’t know what does.

    Yeah I thought we were talking about stupid/idiotic things previous administrations/managers have done but I think half of us are talking about unique things that only happen to Charlton... Both interesting topics to talk about though.
