Can't for the life of me remember who we played but I'm sure JBG scored a last minute goal from a counter attack a few years back, remember going absolutely mental
Tommy Caton penalty at Boro 90/91, locals weren't best pleased. Jacko at Watford very poignant, Igor at AFC in 2019, turned our season - and one of the few goals there we could see!
Dennis at Selhurst - As mentioned, shit football game, tho the penalty save livened things up. Scenes at the end were worth the extortionate ticket price for a Sunday kick-off on Sky. Only 700 of us bothered going If I remember correctly (I'm sure oohaah can confirm!)
JJ QPR Home - Again, absolute scenes in the Covered End. Also brilliant watching the clip back and seeing the look on the face of that corrupt leather-faced twat in the away dugout.

We virtually sold our allocation, must have been 2k there. When we played them in March '94 on a Sunday, there were only around the 700 figure.

Reading this thread I realise I am a bit of a bok. Now of course I have not been a regular for 17 years, but before that I attended 100s of games, and I have only twice seen a last minute winner in the flesh. Denis at Palace, and Caton's penalty at Boro.
Dennis at Selhurst, as has been said Danny Mills away at Villa in 99 - drawing 3-3 knowing only a win would keep us up a draw would mean relegation and knowing he had to score from that last minute free kick - and he did! The 4-3 wins at Carlisle and at Newcastle in Jan 92 - 3-0 down after half an hour and an 89th own goal winner, cross put in by Pardew deflected in by Liam O'Brien. Andy Hunt scored for Newcastle, Gavin Peacock played for them and it was one of the last games as Manager for Ossie Ardiles. Got back on the coach outside the ground and it had broken down, but no one cared !
Simon Webster’s crunching volley in off the crossbar and angle v Bristol City at Upton Park. Was that last minute? It was a late, great goal.
For some reason this game has always stuck in my mind. Testing myself without referring to "Home and Away", think we were 1-0 down and Webster scored twice, once in the 80th and once in the 85th minute at the "home end".

It was 1,600, due to a half-hearted boycott over the prices - £35 for an adult, which was a pisstake, but Chelsea had already started charging £48 by that point.
I thought it was poor - can't think of many clubs that wouldn't sell out their allocation at an away derby match in the Premier League, regardless of any boycott.
Anyway, an absolutely toss game, but well worth it for the scenes at the end. Chris Powell was in the Sky Studio above our left shoulder, and at the start of stoppage time, the tannoy announcer revealed that we'd be locked in for 15 minutes after the game "for our own safety". Obviously the Palace fans loved that, and were all chanting "it's for your own safety" (dream on you spotty pricks), but they went rather quiet when Rommedahl popped up at the end, and we had a magnificent 15 minutes of extended celebrations and waving at Chris Powell and him waving back at us. Glorious.
Not even sure it was last minute and the point meant very little but Leaburns late goal at Blackburn in early 90s made it 2-2. Memorable because a few of us decided to go back to the local pub we had been drinking in before heading back to Manchester then home. one drink led to 2,3,4..... then when we finally got to Piccadilly, no London trains until the 1.30 am ‘milk train’. Had a blinder of a night in Manchester and got back to London just in time to pick up my football gear for a doubleheader at hornfair park.
Have been on that train a couple of times after visits to Old Trafford.....and like you, gone straight to football!
Steve Gritt at home to QPR in December 1988. This is the game when Mickey Bennett got carried off. Gritt equalised with a really good, powerful low shot in the 89th.
Not a favourite but another Steve Gritt goal; away to Port Vale April 1992 on a Tuesday night - 88th min equaliser to make an awful game bearable.
In the 80s we played Shrewsbury at home. The match remained scoreless mainly down to the profligacy of one man, Martin Robinson who had the proverbial mare.
I was so frustrated after his latest puerile effort, that I had a real rant at him. Of course in added on time he was on hand to convert the winner from a yard out in the centre of the covered end goal. The only way he was going to score that day. I got pelters from those around me.
I also remember a late comeback around that time at home to Burnley. 3-1 down with 5 minutes to play. Injury time equaliser. To say @Big William went into raptures would be a massive understatement!

Close. Colin Walsh equalised after the 80th min with a low free kick. Then Webster stepped up. I can still hear Steve Dixon's commentary on the Moving Magazine. He went loopy!

LOL, I remember walking out of the ground saying "that could kick start the season" or some similar cliche, needless to say we quickly went down like a very heavy rock. It was the year of the Nelson-Bailey-Nelson musical chairs, and plenty of other horrors.
Always the Jackson QPR one. No goal better displayed the real Charlton coming through the Roland shite. That useless plank Reza managed to hit the post when he had an open goal in front of him after 13 minutes and then Thuram tried to hand Maiga a free goal, but we held on. Poyet helped set up the corner with an absolutely thunderous challenge and when Jacko put the header in he was straight into the crowd. Powell had to sit in the dugout for a bit to compose himself after that one. You could see how much it meant to the players and staff who really cared, and it was academy boys and real Charlton who dug us out when the Roland flops threatened to send us down.
Adjarevic took the corner?
He did, and he hit the shot for the corner in the first place. I liked Astrit, and he definitely bought into the squad a lot more than some of the other signings, I think he was popular with the players when he was here. He was a decent player, but he wasn't fit enough to actually deliver on a regular basis, we still needed big performances from our Powell core to drag us out of it. There wasn't a single Roland signing in our pivotal survival game against Watford for instance. Not all the Roland signings were complete disasters but they weren't what we needed at the time (though I'd say that season Astrit was the only vaguely acceptable one)

found it, at home against Hull, Makienok looked like a world beater that day!

Would love to go back to the QPR goal last season. Absolute scenes when that went in

I'll add Solly away at Luton to the mix. Absolute carnage when that went in
Not last minute but one of my favourite goals..
Gudmundsson home to Hull, Sodjie home to Leeds and Sarr last season my three favourite
