Memorable Brawls

Yesterday’s late bundle had the potential to turn into a proper brawl without ever fulfilling it.
What’s the best on-field brawl you can remember involving Charlton?
I can remember Parker and Bowyer sniping at each other throughout a whole game once at The Valley when we ended up winning 4-2 against West Ham but there must be better ones than that?

Mackay v Bremner1

Not a brawl but Garth Crooks cuffed Mart Stuart in a game at Selhurst (Luton I think)0
-
Clb74 and elfsborg Northampton away1
-
Not Charlton but Franny Lee v Norman Hunter would take some beating5

The Italian friendly presentation season was decent around 20000

Why didn’t any Shrewsbury players get booked? The above photo shows one Shrewsbury player with his hand on kashi’s neck and another grabbing him from behind. Their keeper ran half the length of the pitch to start on magennis and lost (only Charlton victory of the day). Or am I just bitter because we lost?13

Wrexham away in the eighties. We had already played them once and in that game Joey Jones cut Killer in two.
Next game Warman started a brawl and when the dust had settled Joey Jones was stretched out on the pitch. I wonder who did that.15 -
Not football related but I like the way refs handle bundles in rugby.
Apparently (according to my wife, I was suffering the game at the valley) in yesterdays match England v Scots. a skirmish involving two players occurred. The ref played on for a while and then stopped the game, walked over to the two who were still wrestling with each other and asked "Whats the Problem" to which one of the players replied "nothing".
"Well lets get on with the game" said the ref. Bundle over!!

Wasn't there a brawl after the Steve Brown red card Vs Leicester? Remember all the catalogues ending up on the pitch and Ian Walker reading one.1

Duncan Disorderly and The Herminator - no need for a points decision in that one.0

Andy Todd hitting Collymore a few times was impressive.0

Not Charlton but the battle of Santiago from the 1962 WC was a 90 minute brawl between Chile and Italy.
As Coleman probably said quite remarkable.6 -
At home to Bradford around 98-00.
Sunday match.1 -
Leaburn v Chelsea 1988. Not a brawl as such, but would have been if he hadn't been stopped by a couple of his own team mates.
Lloyd Sam at Hull.
Must have been others but can't think of any atm.0 -
This. There were at least a couple, and we won 4-1. Classic match.guinnessaddick said:At home to Bradford around 98-00.

Boxing Day 1959 in the 80 minute Dartford v Northfleet all 22 players sent off, takes some beating, report from the Southern league. Think I might have been there, I was only 6 hence the fuzzy memory.
That ref was right
Alf Sturgeon, the referee who sent off all twenty-two players in the Southern League match between Dartford and Gravesend on Boxing
Day, has been vindicated. An F A Disciplinary Committee, meeting in London yesterday, upheld him. But they will not take action against the players.
The Daily Express reported that the teams had been warned of their conduct on Christmas day so it looks like it boiled over from the previous day.2 -
I was at the Charity Shield game between Liverpool and Leeds when Keegan and Bremner had a "set to" and got sent off. The most remarkable thing about that was that Johnny Giles had earlier landed a right hook on Keegan and knocled him down for which he was........booked. How times have changed!3

Not Charlton related, but whilst playing under 18’s football we were drawing to a team who had a 100% record going into the final game.
0-0 with 10mins to go, I was hooked off injured and went to catch a shower. During that 10 mins, two were sent off in the closing minutes, leading to a huge brawl. It carried on in the tunnel and spilled into the changing rooms.
The whole time I was stood in the showers listening to music. I have never lived that down, because I was acting like the hard man. When it finally kicked off, I was hiding in the showers.11 - Sponsored links:

Against Hull0

I thought it was a joke their keeper wasn’t booked, done the exact same thing as Magennis but came off worse.0

The famous one in the 1990 was the "21 man brawl" between Utd and Arsenal. Who didn't get involved? Was it Lukic?1

The best one I ever witnessed was in Tonbridge Park. The linesman was clearly part of the home team and flagged offside when the away centre forward ran clear but was onside by 5, maybe 10, yards at a guess. The referee duly gave the free kick for offside. The disgruntled centre forward mouthed off at the cheating linesman. The linesman gave him a w****r sign and then gave him the come on sign for a fight. The centre forward duly obliged and punched the linesman. With that, the rest of his team stopped playing and rushed across and mass brawl ensued. The referee sent off the centre forward, took the flag from the cheating linesman and sent off two others. I am sure he called an early half time and came across and asked me (I was walking the dogs) what happened as he didn't see much of it. At half time, he sent the linesman home, although he was at pains to say that he wouldn't implicate me the decision. The manager of the cheating team then went into the longest tirade I have ever heard which consisted mainly of about 3 different words, one of which was lino and the other two will be left to your imagination.3

Charlton Leeds at St Andrews Play off final 87.
Leeds forward Ian Baird went in late on Bob Bolder as he came out to collect the ball. Whilst Baird was sitting on the floor following his kick on Bob, Peter Shirtliff came up and knees Baird in the back of the head. Cue nearly all players getting involved (Colin Walsh sending Jon Sheridan flying to the floor!!) Only two players booked (Shirtliff and Baird). Proper game with proper fights back then not like the strictly come dancing cobblers we saw yesterday9 -
Bowyer v Dyer both Newcastle.
Keegan v Bremner 1974 Charity Shield.

The second leg at Leeds was a no holds barred battle, the game at St Andrews was relatively peaceful in comparison, although to a neutral observer it probably looked like all out war.0

The most surprising one I saw was on the fields at Charlton Park Lane when a match had to be abandoned around the 80th minute, from memory, between 2 church teams.
Onward Christian soldiers indeed...1 -
99/00 season, early on, home against Bolton. Graham Stuart vs Andy Todd. We signed Todd later that season which I remember being unhappy about.1
