The Shirtliff brace and the Lisbie and Mendonca hat tricks all come to mind. Also the Robinson equaliser in the thriller against Man Utd. Fantastic.
But one goal in the dim distant past I remember was Palace v Charlton (I was there and it was featured on the Big Match). Malcolm Allison had instructed his defenders to let Colin Powell come inside as 'he had no left foot'. The defenders duly let Colin run inside and he struck an absolute left footed beauty into the net. Sadly I think we then went on to lose the match but still, a moment of magic..
Jackson at Hillsborough in 2012. The day we knew we were gonna win the league
Love Jacko to bits.
And his free kick against the other Sheffield club at The Valley a week later was pretty special as well. Another two Jacko goals as we are on the subject. Last kick of the game against QPR at The Valley, the roof erupted when that went in. And the second Jacko goal I thought was pretty special was the winner at Watford on New Years Day. Think that finished 4-3 to us

This, this, and this. To win at Hillsborough what with growing up in Sheffield with my daughter standing beside, in her first season watching the Addicks was pure gold. She saw 11 wins and a draw away that season and thought that was normal Charlton.
A personal one for me. Carl Leaburn - 6 May 1989 vs Wimbledon at Shithurst, injured whilst scoring and had to go off. We won 1-0 with Bob Bolder saving a penalty towards the end of the game. The victory went a long way to secure another season in the 1st Division (the win against Derby shortly afterwards confirmed survival).
The game came after the first rumours/announcement that we were to return to The Valley and the 7,000 odd fans sang 'Back to The Valley' almost constantly for the 90 minutes, even though it took another 3 years and The Valley Party to make it happen.
I dragged my wife to the game, arriving late and parking what seemed miles away. She was heavily pregnant with our first at the time!
I was at that one ... rididulous handball by Colin Walsh to give, I think Vinnie Jones, the chance to score and Bob Bolder did the rest....
Peter Shirtliff St Andrews 1987 Play Off Final replay
“oh it’s the goal which might well have preserved First Division football for Charlton Athletic and it’s Peter Shirtliff again, the Charlton supporters delirious”
Bartlett volley by the Covered End. Incredible moment to have a Charlton player with the premier leagues goal of the season.
That goal was almost identical to one scored by Di Canio when he was at West ham. Sky must have shown the Di Canio goal 100 times. Bartlett 's goal hardly ever.

Still not as good though as Ray Tracey against Derby 1969
Pulisic for Chelsea scored a perfect hatrick this weekend. Left foot goal, right foot goal, and header. I was surprised to read how rare it is to happen

They are nothing alike IMO. Wasn’t the Di Canio goal the one that didn’t touch the floor from the corner which gives it the edge.
EDIT - Sorry was thinking of a different goal. Yeah the angles were similar, the little scissor thing edges it for Di Canio but then Bartlett's was on his weaker foot, not much in it.

Well I've done it - at Blackheath Wanderers c. 1992. I can still picture every one clearly...

1-1 to preserve our top flight safety and knock Chelsea in to the play offs

Jacki is a legend for us.
King Lennie should have a stand named after him.
