edited February 2008 in General Charlton
Saturday 13th February 1999. The Valley. Att: 20,043

Charlton Athletic 1 (0) (K Jones 70) Liverpool 0 (0)

Charlton: Royce, Mills, Brown, Tiler, Powell, Robinson, K Jones, Kinsella, Redfern (Barnes 66), Hunt, Pringle (Bright 83). Unused subs: Ilic, Newton, Barness.

Liverpool: James, Heggem, Matteo, Carragher, Staunton, Redknapp, Ince, Bjornebye (Song 74, McManaman, Fowler, Owen (Reidle 81). Unused subs: Thompson, Gerrard, Friedel.

Referee: Mike Reed (Birmingham)

Jamie Carragher was sent off in the 66th minute after catching Pringle in the throat with his arm.

Betting scam: Two days before the game, police arrested three Malaysians and a Charlton Man, employed by the club, when they discovered that electric cables at The Valley had been tampered with. They believe they thwarted an attempt by big money betting sydicates in the Far East to cause an abandonment of the game by blowing the floodlights.

    aaaaaaaaah the good old days vintage stuff, false hope given for our fight against relegation but still mightily enjoyable , i just don't get the same thrill beating nobody fc in this league as i did when we were beating the likes of liverpool and co... the sooner we get back there the better as far as i'm concerned...
  • StoneStone
    I was wondering what Gerrard was doing as an unused sub until I looked up his age. He was still only 18.

    Still a decent team we beat that day though.

    Still oozed quality though.

    I think we had just started to develop North Stand at this time and the roof had been rmoved. My season ticket was in Jimmy Seed which we shared with the away supporters and remember singing 'was it you that stole our roof' to the Scousers.

    I remember that game very well. It was one of those cold sunny winter days, Keith Jones grabbing the winner and walking back to the car afterwards in a state of shock.

    Dont think that was the game, think that was when they beat us 4-0 on last day of the season in 2001

    Your memory is obviously better than mine !!!
    Did like the atmosphere back then in South Stand.
    Although it was freezing as sat by the red railings - next to where the big screen is nowadays - totally at the mercy of the wind.

    Was sitting in the West Stand for this one. Remember Johhny Barnes gettting a great reception from the Scousers when him was warming up by the Jimmy Seed. Was convinced he scored the goal when I saw it, but no.. Good old Keith Jones.

    If only there were more people like him around. True professional

    Am I right in thinking that the goal came after a rather robust challenge on a Liverpool player by Steve Brown that left the Red Scouser writhing in agony on the floor demanding a free kick, which the ref ignored? Or was that another game?

    Barnesy, quality he was wss your right ooozed class. Have to say i didnt think he was any good when he was with the red shite and played for england (brazil aside of course) but he was quality for us i loved his ability to ping balls to robbo without stepping out of the centre circle. Quality

    I was also in the jimmy seed that day! blindin season ticket that was

    Got the Video tape of this game.

    A great achievement against a very good side despite where they finished that season.
  • stonemusestonemuse
    capacity crowd and a lot of noise despite no roof ... superb result

    AHH THE MEMORIES

    I miss those games
  • ken from bexleyken from bexley
    I thought that off all the teams that year Liverpool were the most dissapointing.......

    Yes we did well to contain them, but they really were poor that day, by there standards, or there previous standards.....
  • HOME & AWAYHOME & AWAY
    and a special mention to Mr Jones
  • MrLargoMrLargo
    Still got the highlights of Mark Mansfield's commentary taped off the radio from that game. Of the traditional "Big 4", Liverpool were always the most beatable all the way through our Premier tenure (well apart from the 5 victories on the spin against Chelsea but they weren't proper big then!). Loved our late '90s side. Simon Royce in goal: a very good keeper who seemed to spend far too much of his career being second choice. Much as I liked Ilic he got shown up a couple of times that season, I think we might have got a couple of crucial points more if Royce had been in goal for the duration.

    Thompson on the Liverpool bench? Surely he was doing SSGSS by then?

    What we'd give for a Keith Jones now!
  • boogicaboogica
    Myself and NSS was talking about this on Tuesday night how good was Keith Jones in that game as said above how we could do with someone like him now .
  • ricky_ottoricky_otto
    Simon Royce! I forgot all about him.

    If I remember correctly, Barnes gave them bit of a masterclass when he came on. Or is my memory playing tricks on me?
  • charltonkestoncharltonkeston
    Would it be nice to have quality like Redfern in our team now.

    Great game, it was my birthday that day and I was worried Charlton would get a beating, but my dad had the faith I would be adding points to the present pile.

    They all played brilliantly, remember Royce pulling off a worldy from McManaman and thinking 'we might be ok'.

    To have some of that heart on the pitch now...
  • RothkoRothko
    BTW, is 7 years a record in terms of a retrospective abuse flag on a post?
  • DamoNorthStandDamoNorthStand
    Just goes to show that doing well in the league is not the only thing that makes going to CAFC enjoyable. You have to have that feeling of heart and passion from the players transferred to the stands. We have missed this all season.
