I re-watched the Sky packaged highlights of the League game at home to West Ham in 2001 recently. And, apart from it being an astonishing game, with a fantastic finish, it struck me that all eight goals were set up by and scored by former, present or future Charlton players.
Obviously all four Charlton goals (Euell and Johansson scored two each). But for West Ham, ex-Addick Paul Kitson scored a hat-trick - one set up by Paolo di Canio, one from a Scott Minto Cross and Defoe scored their fourth, from a Christian Dailly pass.
Has there been a game with eight or more goals, all scored by players with Charlton connections? Obviously it happened once this season. But are there any other instances?
