Bit of a comedown after thumping Man City 5-0 4 days earlier !
Any memories of either the Arsenal win or this Spurs game ?
They filled the whole of the Holmesdale Road end and it was a really wet day as well.
From what I remember we were a bit unlucky and deserved a point but that fat b'stard Galvin came on as sub, picked the ball up on the halfway line and ran at our defence before planting a 30-yard screamer into the top corner right in front of the Spurs fans.
Mind you, that was the year that Spurs had a right tasty side under Kerbie and finished 2nd or 3rd with Clive Allen scoring his 49 goals.
Who was Danilevicius?!
I was suffering with flu. Made it to London Bridge, threw up all over the platform and decided to get the next train home!
I can't work out whether my memory is beginning to fail me or whether I drank way too much in those days :0
That was a tough one for me as i had switched from being a spurs fan to Charlton a year or two previous 1984/5.
I started watching Charlton from the first game at selhurst, as i travelled with my mates in cars! (From shooters hill).
I remember firmly being a Charlton fan that day but my most favourite player of my spurs days was infact Tony Galvin.
22 years on and still quite happy that CAFC are my favoutite team......so this is the lowest league and last season was the poorest football ever experienced.
I have done my bit for charlton before you all tell me to f off back......
10 year ticket, valley party candidate (Thamesmead Moorings), VIP for a spell and a current season ticket holder with 1 kids ticket between 2 (punishment for the naughtiest!).
As for their away support eh? Oohaah
Had spent new year in Blackheath & at around 7am was in the passenger seat of a car when Terry Waite came striding through the village heading towards the train station. I lowered the window of the car & wished him a happy new year & he did likewise.
That was Mr Waite on the way to Lebanon.
Later we lost 2-0.
Mr Waite lost 4 years.
Yep - me. I seem to recall us being a bit unlucky on the day, but both of their goals were out the top drawer.
It was just after we smashed Man City 5-0 at home and I remember seeing Pleat at that game obviously having a look at us for himself.
£1 for a seat in the Members Stand as a junior read - those were the days.
We stood in the same bit that we always did and the amount of yiddos in the half awake was ridiculous.
I remember a little off by the greasy spoon cafe earlier that day aswell
Nico Clasen was excellent and we couldn't deal with his pace. Remember him giving Mark Reid (I think) a torrid time. Then Galvin came on and we couldn't deal with him, either.
I don't think we played badly, but Spurs were a class above us that day and really marauded down the wings. At the other end I don't think Jimmy Melrose got even a sniff of a chance.
Looking at the team , where was Robert Lee?
And who played centre back alongside Shirtliff in Steve Thompson's absence? Andy Peake or George Shipley, I suppose. I remember Shipley better than he probably deserves because apparently I vaguely looked like him (he was never the most handsome player). I remember getting nodded through into the post-match hospitality at Selhurst once, without an invite , by someone who said : ''How's the injury George? Do you reckon you'll be back soon?'' I replied : ''Hope so'' . They didn't seen to notice the lack of a Geordie accent and I just walked though !
Possibly biggest away following we saw a Selhurst - or maybe Millwall when they came.
Was in Jimmy Seed for Arsenal game - remember thinking he was gonna save it when saw that Vivas was gonna take the pen.
Thought that was the game where someone did really nasty tackle from behind on Bergkamp but see that he didnt play in this one.
