edited October 2009 in General Charlton
Anyone remember any particular encounters ?

Quick question, how many times do you think we've played Huddersfield at home ?

  • My dad said there was a good game in the late 50s. Can't remember the score.

    Remember near the end of the Championship year losing 1 - 0 when we had about 50 shots. Was a Friday night on Sky.

    Guess. 30 times at home.

    I know it wasnt at home but the only stand out Huddersfield game I remember is when we beat them away and it was on tele. Robbo scored.
  • was anyone on here at the 7-6 game ?
  • I saw us loose to them yonks back 2 v 1 was with my old man. Worthington scored for them and we had a centre half on loan who scored for us i think he was from Leeds and name was Stacey ?
  • Not me, lol

    But I do remember a game at The Valley in 1968 when Keithy Peacock scored 2 and new winger Paul Hince also scored (can't remember the other scorer) in an exciting end-to-end match which we eventually won 4-2.

    Also remember a game a year or 2 later, and we won 2-1. Can't remember the scorers but Huddersfield had their ex-Man Utd midfielder Alan Gowling dominating midfield.

    Other times ....... driving up to Huddersfield one very foggy Tuesday night in the back of my Dad's old van.
    We lost 2-0 in a 3rd Division game at Leeds Road.

    Seeing us win 3-1 away with Flash being amongst the scorers in Lennie's promotion season 1985-86.

    Also about 1997, a 2-2 draw away with Lee Bowyer, who'd been transferred to Leeds just a few months earlier, in our crowd cheering us on.

    When we played Huddersfield away who were top of the League December 1999 when Charlton got the first win of 12 consecutive wins. Robbo scored a wonder goal and Eddie Youds got injured.
  • Killer equalled the scoring record against them in a 2-2 draw.

    If my memory serves me right it was a night game and we came from 2-0 down to snatch a draw.
  • Huddersfield are all about attack, so maybe they'll play a more open game than Oldham, and won't put 9 players behind the ball at all times.

    Their skipper sounds full of confidence - but both teams are in the top 4 for good reason.
    Should be a good game.
  • Was it Huddersfield at the Valley where Sean Newton scored a header from outside the area? A softish goal in a pretty meaningless game I think but you don't see that sort of thing every day.
  • 70 times we've played Huddersfield in total, 35 at Home.

    Where they all at The Valley, as i can't remember playing them at Selhurst or Wham ?

    I remember that goal but not sure who it was against. May very well have been 'field.

  • All at the Valley. They were in Divs 3 and 4 when we were in Exile and we never played them at Catford either

    We did play a FA Cup game at Leeds Rd but not against Huddersfield.

    Quick Quiz. Which team did we play, why at that venue and which losing player was chaired off the pitch by the fans?

    Pretty sure that was against Tranmere when we did them 4-0. I think we scored 4 headers in that game: Newton, Hunt, Svensson (his first goal for us), and ...?

    I remember the 2 games against Huddersfield in the championship winning season. Robbo's goal in the away game was unbelievable, and that was also Eddie Youd's last game for us I believe after his horrific injury.

    Yes I think it was he went up to win a challenge rather than make an effort on goal and it flew in

    Absolute screamer from Robbo, that was the game when their fans jeered off Youds as he left the field on a stretcher (the injury that more or less ended his Charlton career).
  • 1st November 1980 Leeds Road (11,329) Division 3

    I remember it for a big kick off in the pub in Leeds Road as you walked to the ground before the game. Huddersfield mullaring us on the pitch and Phil Walker scoring a flukey goal which deflected off his head and looped over their goal keeper. Followed by an even bigger kick off after the game in the car park behind the main stand. Pretty sure there were a couple of thousand Charlton at that one.

    It was our seventh successive league win as we remained top of the league.

    1983 ish we lost 2-1. Dear old Les Berry played a trademark backpass with a couple of minutes to go when it was 1-1. Unfortunately Tony Laing wasn't paying attention and (?Russell) nipped in before Laing reacted rounded him and slotted it in.

    Hopefully history won't repeat itself with the Hispanic Les Berry!

    Quick Quiz. Which team did we play, why at that venue and which losing player was chaired off the pitch by the fans?

    Sam Bartram was chaired off. Was it Man United in an FA Cup second replay?

    Correct on both but why was the game played at Leeds Rd. It wasn't a replay BTW
  • Seem to remember playing them at Selhurst in our first season there, 3-0 I think.

    The game in 1980-81 was pretty memorable, like Addickted says the locals weren't too impressed with us ruining their home record. That was a great season, one of my favourites.
  • [quote][cite]Posted By: FTP[/cite]I went to a midweek away game in the mid 90's that finished 2-2, I believe we went 2-0 down. Anyway Mark Robson scored the equaliser with a penalty and Bod ran on the pitch and hugged him. I think his pic was in the Mercury.
    Anyway, he was obviously thrown out but decided he wanted to watch the rest of the game so started to climb over the gates not far from the corner flag. He made it to the top and then the Police / Stewards managed to get hold of his legs. He was on top of the gate singing his heart out. They managed to get him down eventually.

    The Police bless them, released him at 4am, fortunately the people he was with had driven up and waited for him.[/quote]

    Tell me about it, there were a mini bus load of us...........the good old days, mind you it wasnt 4am, we went to the local nick, explained the situation and let him out earlier..............driving home through Yorkshire in the snow

    beat me to it mate,it cetainly wasn't 4am,great great days remember singing we only hate millwall to the tune of wonderwall allnight.Remember getting
    there mega early in yates's.Also on the way home we stopped off in a boozer on the moors somewhere.A male voice choir were having a pratice session
    which we rudely interrupted,but they took it in good spirit.Remember the landlady gave us some jacket potatoes to eat on the way home,again unfortunately she didn't open them up and we had no butter to eat them with,they were bloody horrible.Hence a mini bus with jacket potatoes all over
    the floor when we got back.They were feckin great days out.

  • I was at the 7-6 game, standing midway up the east terrace. That was the first time I went onto the pitch at the ground.
    It was easy to get on, climbing over the small metal fence about 3ft high set into the concrete perimeter wall, but spectators NEVER went on the pitch in those days!

    I remember standing on the muddy pitch in front of the old 'grandstand' shouting for Johnny Summers, who eventually made a brief appearance in the Directors Box.

    Have been on the pitch 3 or 4 times since- after the Stoke game (last match before Selhurst move), then to be presented with a VIP certificate by Roger Alwen. Played on it in charity game 2008, was sponsor at Plymouth game last season, and am sponsoring MK Dons game!

    War damage at Old Trafford?

    BTW my dad saw the 7-6 game. Still got the programme.
  • That 1-0 defeat the year we went up was on my birthday, painful that was. If i remember rightly, their goal was stunning and we could have been promoted that night had we won?...
  • edited October 2009
    I remember beating them 2-1 in 1995/96 with Shaun Newton scoring an amazing volley from 20 yards and the following season didn't he score with a header from a similar distance???

    The last time we played them was a Friday night and a win would have guaranteed promotion and the title back in 2000. They scored early on and we battered them for 85 whole minutes and lost 1-0.
  • War Damage at OT is correct.
  • My main memory is Eddie Youd's injury in something like the 7th minute of injury time at the end of the first half a few year's ago.
  • 20 yards and the following season didn't he score with a header from a similar distance???

    .........

    A looing header from the D outside the penalty area.

    There could be some spice tomorrow - Parky turned them down a couple of years ago as manager.
  • Watched us lose 1-0 at home from a bar in Majorca in the 99 season....all over them, but they got the goal and sat on it....Wasnt a certain Marcus Stewart playing for them in those days?

    Yep I remember this one, think BOTH the Kimble brothers played in this one with Gary scoring the equaliser late on.

    Where they all at The Valley, as i can't remember playing them at Wham ?

    Why were you at a Wham concert anyway? ;o)
