Yep, I was in the Members Stand level with the six-yard box and could not believe how Leaburn missed from there!!! Actually a top finish from fat boy Jones for his goal that day, chipped it in from a tight angle after Mimms had blundered yet again.
That period was a very exciting one with our "Black Magic" front four of Bennett - Williams - Leaburn - Mortimer.
the four tops......
jones goal was blinding... Mimms confidence was in the dirt....
It might have been..but I think that might have been a different match, in that match I remember Thorsvedt (sp?) being in goal for Spurs that day and a different scorer for Spurs' second goal - Tony Galvin rather than Allen. Perhaps Home&Away could sort this out?
And I'm racking my brain as to who Evans was...I vaguely recall the name and that's all.

I can't find any other reference to Evans in the bible (he was also an unused sub at home to Forest six weeks later and away at Boro just after that. Oh and a league
cup tie at home to Northampton). He's not in the team photo and didn't even make a sub appearence. I may have to visit my loft if no one can come up with the answer!
A youth player that never broke through or a loan player?
No it wasn't that game - that was a 2-0 win to Spurs. In the match in question the score was definitely 2-1 to Charlton, Leaburn missed a sitter, the ball was hacked clear and moments later was in the back of our net at the Holmesdale End following an admittedly good goal from I thought Galvin rather than Allen.
Gazza's midfield performance was the best I have ever seen to this day. He absolutely ran the game.
those were the days eh....
Im still eternally grateful for city addicks for meeting Lennie and John 20 years later having once met them in teh dressing room.... still very disappointed I didnt get to meet morts again... but thats what you get and I have to say strolling to work with my shades on today was lovely , so theres the flip side...
The four home games against Spurs at Selhurst finished....0-2, 1-1, 2-2 and 1-2.
Real men, real TEAM.
Two-one up and Leaburn side foots against the post at the Sainsburys end with an empty goal beckoning from six yards out - they go straight up the other end and equalise!
He got some dog's abuse from where I was sitting in the Junior Reds section of the main stand.
But all's well that ends well and we loved him by the end of his career
reckon there was more than 14,000 there though.
Why did Fenwick take the penaly when you look at some of the other players on that team (waddle excepted ha ha)
Which game did Mitchell Thomas score an overhead kick against us ?
Come to think of it, you're right about the Leaburn side footer rather than header in the 2-2.

I went with my cousins to this game and was the first time I had known anyone to buy tickets of a tout.
So maybe there was afew more in there
Remember Leaburn missing a near open goal to make in 3-1 and moments later it was 2-2.
