Just seen the 2nd half on +1.
Great memories. One of my favourite periods as a Charlton fan. Life as a fan was so much more simple then. You knew that there was never any chance of the board showing ambition but you just accepted that as the way it was.6 -
How good was killer? Always in the right place at the right time, even after deflections and the ball bobbling on the pitch3

He was great. Loved his interview too, with Brian Moore.kentaddick said:How good was killer? Always in the right place at the right time, even after deflections and the ball bobbling on the pitch0 -

Can you imagine the grief a player would get nowadays for an interview like that? daring to suggest that he'd quite like to leave and play in the first divisionsuperclive98 said:

I'm still amazed but them letting an actual lion loose before that game to run into the crowd, who thought that was a good idea?0 -
Best football commentator, host, interviewer whatever on tv.Yorkshireaddick said:How good was Brian Moore though? I miss him...
He qualified as a ref to inform his commentary and analysis. Modern broadcasters take note. Their ignorance is quite stunning at times.0 -
I'd imagine killers reaction to the sort of witch hunt that goes on now would be to stroll round with his rabbit gun to discuss it further....not a shrinking violet our Del.rina said:

Just watching it again on the ITV Hub. That second goal for Killer just summed up why Paddy was my hero as a kid.
Winning it right in the right-hand corner at our end, lovely floated ball out and then haring across field and down the left to pick the ball up again. He left the Hull defender on his arse as went past me, standing on the railings in the paddock between the stand and the covered end, and pulled the cross back for Killer’s volley. Goal of the season and I think the only time they ever had the player with the assist as well as the scorer on.6 -
Fortunate enough to know Brian Moore well, and he was a real gent. Would always send me little notes when he heard any news about the Addicks.3

It's on catch up if anyone missed it.0

Why was there a pitch invasion? Just a popular thing to do in the 70s?0

There can’t be too many goals to have two goals of the season scored in them.0

Yes, it was the done thing for the kids/youth.Friend Or Defoe said:Why was there a pitch invasion? Just a popular thing to do in the 70s?0 -
Really enjoyed that. The lion cub was crazy! No such thing as replica shirts and the only colours were scarves, usually tied to wrists. There wasn't a lot of singing but plenty of rather polite clapping. Lots of physical contact but little play-acting. Genuinely the good old days. Killer! Killer!0

Just watched this on the ITV Hub, where it's available for another 29 days. Thanks @rina for flagging it up - a cracking trip down memory lane. Those highlights really encapsulated where Charlton were as a team at that time - always likely to score goals but a little short of quality at the back and often clinging on near the end of games where they should have been out of sight. In addition to some stellar performances, the quality of our crossing and set plays was noticeably better than we've managed in recent seasons.
I love the pessimist who shouted "rubbish !" as Colin Powell was halfway through his marauding run to create the goal of the season. Almost as good as Killer chewing gum during his interview with the great Brian Moore. Those were the days of the unsanitised interview, untainted by media training and all the better for it.
I also enjoyed Forest's 6-1 demolition of Sheff Utd, as they started to get their teeth into their promotion season. I think that about 8 of that side were European Cup winners just over two and a half years later, with Shilton, Burns and Woodcock more than useful additions. We took 3 points off Forest that season (in the days of 2 points for a win), which was some achievement.
On a sadder note, it was interesting to see Division 3 highlights of a crowded and vibrant Gigg Lane, as Bury put 3 past Brighton. Let's hope that we can rid ourselves of this series of dismal owners and ensure that people aren't talking about us in similar terms to Bury in the future.4 -
Just watched it. Great stuff, Killer could have had 5 or 6 that day.0
