    Wycombe?
  • MrOneLungMrOneLung
    I have just checked my official list of rankings and Millwall are by far the rankest team we have ever lost to.
  • LenGloverLenGlover
    Wycombe in the League Cup is a good shout.

    In the FA Cup were Walsall in the third or fourth division when they beat us at The Valley a few years back when we were in the Prem?

    Palace Reserves a couple of years back?

    Do you mean the lowest ranked team at the time we played them...?

    Sure i remember us being knocked out of the league cup by Bournemouth years ago, they must've been pretty lowly ranked.

    Or Hereford in this years league cup.

    We've never lost to a team from outside of the league since we joined in 1921. Take note, Parky.

    Some of our league cup exits have been against fairly lowly sides, where were Bournemouth when they put us out?

    Another possibility.

    1992/93 League Cup. Bury were in the bottom division and beat us 1-0 at Upton Park (1-0 on aggregate).

    Bournemouth were league 1.

    Walsall were Championship.

    Another contender - Bottom division Oxford beat us on penalties.
  • Bournemouth AddickBournemouth Addick
    [cite]Posted By: Paddy Powell[/cite]Bournemouth were league 1.

    Makes you realise how far we've fallen doesn't it!

    You've probably got the correct answer!

    I've seen a Charlton XI lose to Conference South Bromley, I take it friendlies don't count.
  • The VicsThe Vics
    I hope so but the best we can hope for is a replay i think. That would suit us down to the ground

    Didnt Welling Utd beat you in a Pre-season game when Dowie was in charge?

    Everybody beat us when Dowie was in charge.

    Wycombe were 5th in the table the night they beat us...

    Unless anyone can beat my 1961 16th placed 4th Division Rochdale 1-0 League Cup defeat I'm claiming the title...

    I remember going to Bury away. Wasn't that our first sighting of Deano? Think he was in goal for them at the time.

    All depends on how you look at it.

    If you look at it as lowest in absolute terms then yes the title is yours!

    However if you look at it as the lowest in relative terms (us to them) then it is Wycombe. Top tier losing to fourth tier. The Rochdale match you mention was second tier losing to fourth tier.

    This is another one of those "Only at Charlton" moments, isn't it? :-)

    To be pedantic (as this is Charlton Life) the lowest ranked would be one of the teams in the Woolwich or Lewisham League we lost to just over 100 years ago.

    Since turning pro it would either be Maidstone in the FA cup in 1920 or Thornycrofts who finished bottom of the southern League that season but still beat us 4 - 1
