Born June 17, 1976. On 21 August, 1976, Charlton went down 0-2 to Cardiff. 9,762 at The Valley.
In fact, they didn't win until 10 Sept, 1976, 4-3 over Luton Town. (Hales hatrick).
Finished the season 7th in the Second Division. Killer was sold on that year.
As I was born on 3rd August 1976, I would assume that mine is the same as this. Killer came back though so us 30 somethings could say we saw him play too!
Having temporarily given up wooing the girls, I won't give a rat's arse if Bedsaddick figures this one out.
We drew at Huddersfield the day I was born, then lost at home to Derby the following saturday.
Big Sam was in goal.
And March51 feels he's ancient ............
Looking at the stats i would say it was the year my mum was born ( and Prince Charles ) although the Derby games was a couple of weeks after. I could be wrong.
I was born on April 29th 1986, so according to Wiki:
"3 May 1986 – Liverpool are confirmed champions of the First Division, while the final relegation place will be occupied by either Oxford United or Ipswich Town. On the same day, Charlton Athletic seal promotion from the Second Division with a 3–2 win at relegation-threatened Carlisle United."
The only time I've been to a game on my birthday, was in the 99/00 season, when we celebrated promotion to the Premiership by losing to Ipswich 3-1. I remember the Ipswich fans singing "Are you watching, Manchester?" - unfortunately for them, Manchester City were too busy winning, and securing the 2nd automatic promotion place. But you all knew that anyway.

Wrong. I'm more ancient than that.
I was born on 7th September so I got off to a winning start
