  • Brighton night game, 4-3 1977. Getting swept out of the Covered End by the crowd, my feet not touching the ground.  14 years old and I was Charlton for life!  Those night games in the 70's were life affirming legend.
    Me too, swept off my feet and thought I may be heading down the stairs head first. 
  • I'm slightly concerned I might get banned for spamming my like button tonight on everyones posts but please everyone keep it up! 

    mine is slightly more recent just for a bit of a change - Alfie May's reaction to the covered end after the penalty V Fleetwood this season right at the start of this run of goals. The keeper was being a prick - saw it with my own eyes - he got booked for it but won my heart this year based on that alone.


  • The late late Jacko show against QPR. 

    Still love Jacko to bits.

    That was some game, think we were 2 up then 3-2 down and came back and won it.

    First time, probably only time, I've seen a penalty taken three times.
  • I headed the ball when it got kicked into the Jimmy Seed stand 
  • Maybe not magical but certainly being present for The Hales/Flanagan fisticuffs was memorable and legendary
  • Beating Watford on a Tuesday night to guarantee our safety.

    Ending Huddersfield’s unbeaten run, can’t remember how many games, at the Valley. 2-0.
    Pretty sure it was 7-6 and I should know as I was there.

    ; )
    Wrong game or are you pulling my plonker;)

    Seeing Alan Simonsen run out to play in a Charlton shirt
    That was unbelievable and incredible at the same time.
  • Many great ones here, as already mentioned the bedlam when Robbo equalised against Man Utd and Newton's goal v Ipswich were pretty special, I will add the balloons lifting off the pitch at the first game back, and what they represented.  
  • 21st December 1957.  Charlton Athletic 7 Huddersfield Town 6.  A glorious Summer`s day.  Just magical.
    66 years ago today!

    Johnny Summers…..an unassuming working class cockney gentleman.

    Summers, Leary, Laurie. Saturday afternoon giants and they were our giants.
  • Prattley’s slide-in goal against Doncaster that took an incredible game to penalties and, ultimately, Wembley and promotion. The noise as the goal went in at a packed Valley will stay with me forever.
  • Flanagan hat-trick as we thumped Spurs 4-1 at The Valley 15th October 1977
  • CAFC 4 Spurs 1 all those years ago
  • Seeing Leary for the first time and thinking Jesus Christ here we go

  • 2-0 vs Premier League Sheffield Wednesday, FA Cup 1996, when the Wednesday bloke wandered into the Covered End between E and F block. 

    4-4 vs Norwich, 1997.

    Boxing Day 2003 is the best for me. That win against Chelsea. We were so damn good.
    Came here to post this.  Always great to get one over on John Terry, horrible human being (but quite a good defender, maybe related)
  • Talal El Karkouri free kick vs Arsenal.

    Van Persie goal

    Llera equaliser when down to 9men

  • Ryan Giggs hitting the crossbar from about 300yds in 2000 (Ole scored the follow up)

    No, their unbeaten run started the game after our 7-6 win.

    Great when Di Canio turned him this way and that to set up the third goal.
  • Fortune's goal and the remaining minutes relegating palice in 2005 <3
  • Di Canios penalty v Arsenal.
  • Charlton Athletic 6 Southampton 2
