5-2 away at Grimsby was last time we scored 5 in a league game, before that Saints at home 1998. I did see us score 5 at Orient in a friendly july 2003 though

850 games and I've never seen Charlton score 6. If they were going to do it yesterday was the day....5 up with 18 mins to go. Think it was the first time I'd ever seen five different goalscorers though. Can anyone think of another time since 1982 when we've had five different scorers? (not including friendlies).
Stonemuse....yep, my mate was telling me yesterday about the 6-2 v Southampton. I've seen quite a few 5's (Cheslea, Camb U, Barnsley, Brighton, Man City (at Selhurst...home) Wimbledon (at Selhurst...away), WBA, Grimbsy ...but no 6's. Seen us let in 7 at Brighton and 6 at home to Leeds though!!!!
Only two sixes in the 70s Third Division - 6-0 v Swansea and 6-1 v Notts County, separated by three weeks in the autumn of 1972. That was pre Hales and Powell, although Flanagan scored four against Notts County.
Oddly, given the goalscoring that went on in this era, Andy Nelson's spell as manager 1974-79 produced only one six - September 24th 1976 6-2 v Southampton.
As far as I can see, the last time five different players scored for Charlton in a League match was March 16th, 1963 - Bailey (2), Kenning, Peacock, Lucas, Ryan - as we beat Plymouth 6-3 at The Valley.

Cheers Rick, strange how memory plays tricks, I could have sworn there was more. Probably thinking of or influenced by 6 goals plus in a game, e.g. our 4-4 at Burnley.

33 years and counting since that last happened...
When the 5th went in with over 15 minutes left, I thought today was finally going to be the day!
I don't know the answer I'm just throwing it out there.
Close but no cigar here. Five different Charlton players scored in this one, but not all for The Addicks : http://www.charltonlife.com/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=11712&page=1#Item_11

Lucky for us old 'uns who remember the 70's in the 3rd division and quite a few 6 goalers with the likes of Killer, Flash and Paddy.

And I was there. Great weekend that was, fried Mars bars, Tuborg lager and Charlton score 5. Cleethorpes in November quality.
Sadly I've seen several seven goal defeats. Luton, Brighton and Burnley if memory serves correctly.
Mind you if I supported Palace I might have seen a nine goal defeat :-)
