Following on from the 'Headed Goals' thread, this reminded me of another goal scored by Matt Tees. Anyone remember the one when the keeper rushed out to clear the ball, whacked it straight at Matt as the ball ricocheted into the net off him from quite a way outside the box.
Who can remember any other unique(ish) Charlton goals?

Carl Leaburn scoring in the Anglo-Italian Cup against Ancona in 1993-94. Our first and only goal in European competition.
Charlton Athletic 1 Huddersfield Town 2.
I did wonder for a moment if the Elliot Llera incident against Stockport was going to be similar. The Les Berry one though was surreal in that both Lange and Berry just looked at the ball lying there for what seemed an age without either moving before the Huddersfield player nipped in.
Cross came in from their winger, he slid across to block it, kicked it against the post and it rebounded into his face and then into the goal.
Ah yes, a very grumpy Wrexham refused to kick off for some time, which threatened an abandonment. I think when they did eventually kick off the belted it out of the ground.
My recollection of the Peter Hunt goal is that it didn't actually go into the net. The shot went just outside the post, then rebounded off the wall behind the goal. The ref thought it had gone in and that it had bounced straight back out. To make matters even better/worse, I recall that it was the only goal of the game.
We've dealt with the Bob Curtis 60-yard free-kick on another thread.
What about Killer's FA Cup goal at Harlow? Left wing cross that flew straight in over the 'keeper's head.
I quite like Racon's 96th minute consolation at Bristol Rovers recently. Not a particularly unusual goal, just a great time to score.
Paul Mortimer's goal at Norwich must be up there somewhere too. Sheer brilliance.
I think you are quite right, Dave. I have a mental picture of the Wrexham 'keeper gesticulating and indicating to the ref the path took - it had never gone in the net. It came shortly after a goal in a big game that was given at Chelsea.
That was Alan Hudson for Chelsea v Ipswich. I was at the game.
Their defending hauled down our striker and the ref blew for the pen only for Euell (I think) to net.
Ref allowed the goal. Didn't do us any favours as he would have had to sent off their defender and we would have had a pen.
We won 4-3, it was on tele. Birmingham thugs attacked Junior Reds coaches after the game. Remember the goal you mentioned and also Leaburn injuring himself whilst scoring the 4th - think he whacked his head against the post.
He scored against Huddersield, think it was '98 - was from just outside the penalty area. Seem to remember the commentator on the end of season vid was quite amusing when describing that goal.
Still they all count and we won that match!
I think the Peter Hunt 'goal' was against Oldham.
That's a good shout March. That was my eldest boys first game. Fatty Garland hit a free kick I think and the keeper fluffed it, Leaburn tried to bundle it home but the ref stopped it on the line and Carlo followed up the rebound. Would be a good one for 'what happened next' on QoS.
For the record it was Notts County at home and we won 5-1.
That was bloody funny.
we were awarded a free kick just outside the box and Kim Grant took a long run up with the aim of giving it thrash.
However he scuffed it,his boot went one way which the Luton goalie Fred Barber dived to save and the ball trickled into the opposite corner of the net the keeper was fuming.
