I was almost certainly at both gamesrina said:
Ginola had left spurs by then which would explain you not remembering him being particularly good in the gameCafc43v3r said:
That sounds about right. I know my mum was there and I "think" it's the only time I have ever been with her. The only other game at the Valley I remember her going to was the Southampton boxing day game that never happened.MrOneLung said:

I remember a midweek game against Spurs when they came from behind tongive us a bit of a thrashing. But have no recollection of Ginola being especially good in it. Funny how the mind works, I don't remember Bob Bolder's testimonial other than I know I went and I knew Francis played, yet I remember a lot of other games like it was yesterday.rina said:
Think that'll be the 1-4. Kins scored after 5 minutes and we then spent 85 minutes watching Ginola single handedly tear us apart. 100% the best I've seen anyone play at the Valleystevexreeve said:I remember a game where David Ginola seemed to have the ball attached to his feet somehow. We just couldn't tackle him.
Or did I just dream it?
2-0 up at half time and lost 2-4
Even Gary Doherty was brilliant for them.The Spurs fans were chanting for George Graham to be sacked at half time0 -
Giggs in the 3-3 game for me. But at the other end of the pitch I can remember Jonathan Woodgate being outstanding for Newcastle whilst playing alongside Titus Bramble. Woodgate did the defensive work of 2 men that day and made it look effortless. Memory isn't what it was so can't remember what prem. season unfortunately0

Dean Lewington,despite his age,never seems to break sweat,and never gets flustered,should have played at higher level.A credit to his profession.0

. Think you'll find David Pleat was in charge.
From memory, that game marked Johnnie Jackson's first senior goal of his career, definitely for Spurs.0 -

Patrick Viera when Gunners beat us 3-0 Sept 2002, we had corner 5 seconds later Viera charged forwards, fed Henry, 1-0. Viera was everywhere that match so strong, athletic and a very good footballer.0

Alan Groves for Oldham virtually every time we played them. He was an absolutely brilliant winger - should have played at a higher level.
One game at The Valley , he had beaten our full back so many times ( Mick Jones ) that he sat on the ball in front of him and beckoned him to come and try to get it.0 -
I stand corrected, profuse apologies. I have no recollection of that game whatsoever. Christ I'm going old and senile at the grand old age of 46!MrOneLung said:

John McGinlay of Bolton always used to dominate us.
Tony Adams at Selhurst was unbeatable.
Des Walker likewise for Forest at The City Ground.

This was a horrible game . We were absolutely brilliant - the unlikely, paceless but surprisingly effective front two of Svensson and Bartlett were running rings around them. Then we lost .MrOneLung said:

Modric in the FA Cup a few years back.1

Yep - remember it well - one of those games where you are ‘walking on air’ only to become utterly deflated later - the trudge back to the train station knowing you are about to encounter the drooling Spurs fans on the waywmcf123 said:

Chris Gunter put in an outstanding performance for Burton while wearing a Charlton shirt in the away game at theirs.1

Yep that was going to be my vote too, but you forget the second bit, every time he did the full back (Mark Aizelwood I think) he crossed it for Ronnie Moore who ran up a hat-trick. Could easily have been 7 or 8, they just got bored. And of course we signed him too, literally, us, we collected money to sign him, and he was generally crap too.charltonnick said:Early 80's , Tony Towner playing for Rotherham , lost 1-5 at The Valley. Ken Craggs sacked after the game. I remember standing on the east terrace and hearing a Millers fan shouting ' lick him Tony ' every time he took on our full back. He certainly did on the day. We later signed him but he never reproduced it for Charlton.
But Mark Aizelwood went on to be very good for us...Funny old game...1 -

Just in case you'd never heard of Alan Groves !0 -
Chelsea at home in 1984 in a game brought forward for financial reasons, Pat Nevin ran the show but fortunately Nicky John's was equal and MoM. Operation Vale Park Gareth Ainsworth murdered us before we got away with murder and nicked it with a late penalty.0

John Aldridge (Liverpool) opening day of the season at Selhurst. Hattrick1

Giggs ~ endless times. Unplayable.1

Lawrie Wilson of Stevenage ;-)0

Yeah there was one particular game where he tore us apart at the Valley and I feel that he scored a hatrick, but it maybe he just was so good it felt like he did!SELR_addicks said:Thierry Henry literally every time he played against us too.0 -
Zaha looked good against us and gave Wiggins a very tough time.0
-
don't remember him getting a hattrick but he certainly put 2 past us quite a few times, there probably aren't many with a better scoring record against usKap10 said:

Scott Fraser for MK Dons against us a few years back2

Graham Poll, playing for Fulham. His performance cost us two points and relegation.3

Antonio first half when he was at Forest. Spent the second half in Gomez’s pocket.0

Was that the game Wiggins broke his foot ?hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Zaha looked good against us and gave Wiggins a very tough time.0 -
Richards for Wolves at Molyneux Cup Game about 1976 I think. Was unplayable .0

I've seen a few over the years.
Notably goal keepers against Spurs tend to have the game of their lives against us. Ben Foster on at least half a dozen occasions for Man Utd, Watford, WBA. Ramsdale on his debut for Bournemouth too.
One that stands out a country mile might surprise you. Heurello Gomes. Remember him? He was playing for PSV at the time. Spurs battered them, and I mean battered them but he kept them in the game. It took a late half volley from Berbatov to beat him but he was outstanding. He then saved 3 pens in the shoot out after extra time.
We signed him...and surprise surprise he turned shit almost over night. Fraser Forster is another one. Glad to have him as our back up now mind you.
Then there's the likes of Theirry Henry who never has a bad game against Spurs. Serge Gnabry stands out as a recent one, the last time we played Bayern in the CL. Thought Maddison was exceptional for 60 mins against us earlier in the season.
