In terms of moment/games I was there for and really stand out (in rough chronological order)
Battle of the Bridge First game back at The Valley FA Cup 5th round replay win over Brizzle 94, knowing we would play Man U FA Cup 6th round match at Old Trafford, Schmeichel sent off, Things Can Only Get Better at half time... Last game of 95/96, after we muck up Millwall draw with Ipswich. Millwall go down, we pip Ipswich to the playoffs Wembley 98 5-0 vs Soton 3-3 vs Man U, the Robinson equaliser Lisbie hattrick vs Liverpool Bartlett Goal of the season Sending Palace down The 4-0 against West Ham Powell farewell goal Kermorgant last minute winner at Bournemouth Ending Huddersfield's 2000 game unbeaten record The 5-4 over Cardiff Jacko last minute winner at QPR The waterlogged Doncaster game - off, off, off! The 2017/18 win at Pompey, one of the best atmosphere's ever Both Doncaster semis Wembley 2019 The win over Derby
Obviously not one of the great great moments, but I have extremely fond memories of beating Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 in the FA Cup at Hillsborough. Everyone had assumed that we would roll over and there would be a Sheffield Derby in the next round.
Great hit from Callum Harriot, and a lovely handball punch from Spongefoot put us through, only to be demolished by the Blades in the next round.
2-0 vs Brian Cloughs Derby. Claus Jensen free kick against Blackburn. Danny Murphy free kick against Spurs(never seem the JS stand empty so quickly) Pompey away never been a better away day, The day Bowyer/JJ showed what they were made of. BUT best of all, BFGs winner, sobbed like a child.
I know these are tough times, but they make the good times all the better!
Charlton 1 Millwall 0 (Alan Campbell) on a bog of a valley pitch and after a run of 0-0 draws with the spanner’s, spanning over I think 3 seasons, early/mid 60’s
Charlton 2 Derby 0 (Tees and a great strike from Treacy)
Palace 0 Charlton 2 cup game after draw at the Valley. I know Harry Gregory scored, I think from the spot, can’t remember the other scorer?
Man U 0 Charlton 1 (Mark Stuart)
Charlton 3 Everton 2 (Melrose I think scored twice)
Chelsea 1 Charlton 1 (Miller) were chelsea relegated or was it Play Offs for them?
Charlton 2 Leeds 1 Play Off replay at St. Andrews.
Charlton 1 Portsmouth 0 (Walsh) Back to the Valley
Charlton 4 Sunderland 4 (7-6) 98 Play Off Final.
Charlton 5 Southampton 0 (Mendonca hat trick)
Charlton 3 Man U 3 ( the only team we did not beat in our Premiership years)
Charlton 2 Sunderland 1 Play Off Final
I’m sure there are others but that’s just off the top of my head at the moment.
Bowyers overhead kick against the scum in 96 Pettersons save from Hopkin against Palace at home in front of the covered end Coming back from 4-2 down v Norwich to draw 4 all with 10 men Knocking Sheffield Wednesday out of the fa Cup in 96 Beating west ham 4 nil and thinking we were pulling off a very unlikely escape Danny Mills (prick) turning and running Julian Dicks into retirement Jacko v QPR Jacko v Sheffield 2012 Jacko v Norwich 2014 Chrissy Powell scoring in front of the covered end in his last game v Coventry Beating a very very good Arsenal team 4-2 at Highbury Donny play off second leg El Kakouri last second free kick v Blackburn The 3-2 Blackburn game where friedel scored then Jenson went and tucked on in immediately after Beating Chelsea 4-2 boxing day then those shitehawks taking Parker off us

Great atmosphere that night.
This. Growing up in Sheffield, Wednesday fans always gave it the Massive. When little Charlton rolled into town we were usually beaten, even with Simonsen in the side. To win at Hillsborough is one of those special events. Not as significant as Wembley, but for me it probably feels as big a deal as beating Millwall at the Den, would feel to many. To be there with my dad and daughter made it special.
One I don't think I've seen yet was after the 2-1 win against Wycombe at home in 11/12. We beat them, and MK Dons were failing to win their match which would have meant we were champions. For the first time in recorded history we finished before another team and there was a silent pause in the stadium while everyone waited to hear what the final result was, followed by a 'CHAMPIONS!' from the announcer. Great moment. The Wycombe fans were also really nice about it, especially considering that loss pushed them closer to the drop.
