    I have a wet keyboard for the first time in this fantastic series !

    Maybe it's my touch of 'flu, but I'm in pieces here & may have to send Mr F out for a new box of tissues.

    "This has been a wonderful game !"

    "One of the games of the season in the Premiership"

    "A captivating contest!"

    "And "The Valley erupts !"

    Read it & weep , RD.

    You'll never see the like .

    Snotty Fanny.

    Too much info Mrs F.... ;)
  • Amazing game, remember it so well. I was only a kid at the time, sitting in the East Stand.

    Randomly, yesterday I got into a chat with a guy my age from Bulgaria who asked me for a lighter. When he asked where in London I was from, he was like, 'Oh there was a great Bulgarian player who was at Charlton years ago'. Turned into a nice little conversation about Kishishev. He was great for us. What a cross for Bartlett's second there...
  • Giggs and Solskjaer really were very good weren't they?
    And at the time we had a crop of players whose heart, commitment, passion when they all chimed on the same afternoon, could match the best of the best.
    Seems barely credible now.
    I was there, I lived through that, Johnny Robinson's goal has replayed in my head countless times since and I find myself doubting the memory.
    I resent that roly's toxic pantomime is stealing that from me and the longer he has to poison this thing we remember as Charlton Athletic, smaller is the number who will ever have the chance to experience similar at The Valley.

    Just wonderful ...lets remember the home game against Grimsby when we came back from the dead , the last game at the Old Valley versus Stoke ,all the struggles getting back to The Valley ...we would never have thought for a moment wed be taking on Man Utd in their pomp then ..so lets dream and imagine it will all be possible once more ...bad owners come and go ,supporters remain .keep the faith ,we have seen dark days before we shall return COYA
  • Somehow missed no14, The Upbeats. Brilliant. Simply, brilliant. At least, The Upbeats lift our spirits.

    That goal celebration was probably my favourite ever until Jacko's gate hurdling antics at the end of the QPR game. Another great choice @Nug
  • The quality of the football from both sides...when will we ever see that from Charlton again?
  • Don't get me wrong but these CARD memories tend to focus on the winning days. Yes, there are some great memories but this great club has been, in my view, a great club in the less successful days as well thanks to the spirit around the place. We need this lot out so it can happen again. Yes, I really enjoyed the Premiership years but it's not just about that. The 14th day video about The Upbeats was a great reminder about the how and the why.
  • Look and weep Roland,if only you understood football huh!

    Roland, Roland, Roland, please just sell up !! You really do not know how much damage you have done to our club.

    If you do not want to sell, just Curl up and die!!!!
  • @Nug

    Hurry up.
  • Legend.
  • Hales, Powell, Flanagan. £14,000 for the three of them I read recently. Unbelievable. Goals galore and a boxing match thrown in for free.

    That third goal against Hull. Sheer magic. I was going nuts in the Covered End when that went in.

    The one and only Killer Hales.
  • This man has cost me a fortune.

    He and his colleagues from the early mid seventies were responsible for my life long love of CAFC.

    What a team coming forward, shame the defending seemed to be an optional extra, still great entertainment and killer was the main man
  • Wow! Wish I had been lucky enough to have seen him. What a player and finisher.

    He was before my time. What a class act, clinical finisher. Only Super Clive has come close.

    Would love "Killer" to have a meeting with the Douche & Daisy !!
  • That was a Killer Video today Nug!
  • From the days when you felt a buzz going down Ransom Walk & under the railway arches to the Valley to see the Addicks play on Saturday afternoons!!
    Great stuff CARD & Merry Christmas to Derek 'Killer' Hales we still love to watch your amazing goals for Charlton.

    Absolutely loved that one
  • Those were the days when, whether we won, drew or lost, you knew that you were going to be entertained.
  • I remember one paper calling him 'the Bearded Buccanneer'. He was unique in the true sense of the word.

    Killer is and always will be my favourite. I was heartbroken when we sold him to Derby for £333,000.
