That game also saw @jasoneuell bag a terrific double in front of the Covered End!
Watch highlights from it on Valley Pass

Top man and he fucking hates Millwall.7

Wasn’t his debut Chelsea away which we also won? A Lisbie header in the last minute right in front of us-it doesn’t get much better than that.5
-
He was immense for us. Two wins in a week against top London opposition.
He just would not let an attacker go by him.
He came from Portugal and he knew which clubs to dislike.2 -
Used to love it when he'd go up for a corner.
He obviously wasnt the quickest and when the opposition counter attacked you'd watch him frantically trying to get back0 -
Back when we were Chelsea and liverpool’s Bogey team7

It was and I was in the Chelsea end. It was very, very difficult to sit on my hands.HandG said:Wasn’t his debut Chelsea away which we also won? A Lisbie header in the last minute right in front of us-it doesn’t get much better than that.

My son's first game.
The article I wrote about the game in the next programme.
Brought a tear to my eye as my dad's gone now but Joe is still a fan even while he's away at Uni.
And he was one of the first protesters and in his own right not with his dad, giving out 2% flyers.
Proud son and dad

Great night. Lisbie wins a free kick by tripping himself up by the touchline & then gets a head onto the cross. Mental scenes.HandG said:Wasn’t his debut Chelsea away which we also won? A Lisbie header in the last minute right in front of us-it doesn’t get much better than that.

And not only could I write well then @Matt_Wright used to pay me for every article.
Did you read that Tom Rubashow?3 -
the early 2000s were very good in terms of results against Chelsea (and in general)1

We beat Chelsea four times in a row over that period. Jorge Costa was immense that game. Best centre half I've seen play for Charlton.8

Remember his debut at Chelsea. Only on for a while but was immense. Put in a real crunching tackle if i remember. Then Lisbie won it. Them were the days.0

Seen some really great centre halves over the years but have to say he was the best.....his positional sense was second to none and he knew all the short cuts too. I never saw anyone out play him, he never had anything but an impressive game and more often than not was more than impressive, as in superb!The Red Robin said:We beat Chelsea four times in a row over that period. Jorge Costa was immense that game. Best centre half I've seen play for Charlton.
I feel highly privileged to have seen him in an Addicks shirt.

Still annoys me it wasn’t five, after we squandered that 2-0 lead at home on the first day of the next season when Konchesky got himself sent offThe Red Robin said:We beat Chelsea four times in a row over that period. Jorge Costa was immense that game. Best centre half I've seen play for Charlton.

One of the best defenders I saw at the Valley. Home or away.1

I remember the press conference when he signed .LargeAddick said:Remember his debut at Chelsea. Only on for a while but was immense. Put in a real crunching tackle if i remember. Then Lisbie won it. Them were the days.
They asked how he felt about marking (the pre Charlton ) Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink . Jorge answered that he had played against JFH many times and the Dutchman had never scored . The assembled press laughed . Jorge was being serious .
On another piece of trivia Jorge finished his playing career with Standard Liege .2 -

Fantastic player, intelligent footballer, not blessed with pace but could read the game superbly, his style of play reminded me of Bobby Moore.0

The tank. Loved every minute. Still remember him in tears when he came over to the away end after his last game at Old Trafford. 0-0 but he so nearly scored. He would have stayed if his wife had not just given birth and wanted to go home.
Then so very proud when he went on to lift both UEFA and Champions League trophies.
(Will gloss over the World Cup performances!)4 -
I love this thread as it combines one of my all time favourite players and one of my all time favourite matches. always makes me happy when I'm reminded of either. the celebrations when that Lisbie header went in were amazing0
-
After he left, there was an article in a newspaper about how foreign defenders couldn't cut it in the Premier League. As an example, they referred to Jorge who they said had had 'his arse ripped out' when with us.
I wondered what parallel universe the journalist had just arrived from.0 -
He also went on to captain Jose Mourinho's Porto to league titles, the UEFA Cup and Champion's League.0

Loved Brownie....but a combination of Jorge and Rufus would be my ideal choice of centre back pairings in the 'modern' era at Charlton.SoundAsa£ said:

It was the way that, if being out paced, he could fall over and drag down the opposition without giving away a free kick that was so special about him. Brilliant player4
