    Dad was there too.

    Now and again fans are served up a game of legend status. For me it was Barnsley 0-6 Charlton, when I happened to take the wife and visiting father-in-law and a Swedish Charlton supporter he became.

    Despite the win Golfie was concerned about the quality of our defenders, and made the point that we were simply not good enough.

    Despite it being our lowest attendance of the season, OohAh was impressed with the Terriers turnout

    At half time Golfie was saying he couldn't see where our goals were going to come from.

    I was there. The game was totally ruined by people using the torches on their phones.

    I walked out after 63 minutes, ripped up my season ticket, went home and kicked the cat.

    I was there although only 3 years old, finished my early shift in the Royal Arsenal, jumped on a tram to the Victoria & had a few pints, had a bit of a barney with a mob from the cowshed, hurled abuse at those lazy good for nothing not fit to wear the shirt fuckers & at the final whistle hailed the greatest team that you have ever seen. A turn around better than even Jackos

    I was in the open end and agree with you. Anyone who was there, must be over 64

    I really don't need reminding of that fact!! I could have been there (but wasn't as I was only 6 months old!).

    Golfie also posted that the Huddersfield manager was useless to let his team collapse like that and he'd never make it as a top level manager.

    My first game was in March 1958…..three months later, so I just missed it.😕
    I was 9 when the 7-6 was played and 10 when I saw my first game.

    My comment above was a joke, I was only 2 months old. My dad was at the game though.

    Huddersfield are still the only team in the Football League to score 6 goals and lose.

    The game also ended Huddersfield unbeaten run that stretched back to the wall st crash of 1929

    I bet the Huddersfield coach back oop north was awash with cash nicked off the bookies after that one!

    The stand is magnificent looking. I've never seen a stand like it before. The roof looks like terraced houses

    I was there too. Aged 12. I will never forget it. Best Charlton game I have ever seen. Been waiting ever since to see another like it. Still waiting - although the Playoff Final v Sunderland when Clive scored a hat-trick came a close second for excitment.

    I think I read somewhere that we bought that stand from Aldershot. Might be wrong though.

    A 16 year old Dennis law was in the stand that day as a reserve.
