this for me. I blagged a ticket for the press box, I think i said to Mark Mansfield (?) at half time that we didn't deserve to be so far behind. I wanted to go mental at the end but the natives were a little restless so thought better of it.
I'm not to good with dates but , Chelsea 2000/2001 we won 1 nil , i was in the Chelsea end and boy what a bunch of wingers ,never stopped moaning about scotty parker giving them to runaround , i had to sit on my hands when that goal went in .
Some crackers there, brilliant memories! I know this one wasn`t a win but it was a brilliant experience for everyone who was there..........Bristol Rovers 5 Charlton Athletic 5. My first away game outside London.
Some other random wins that may have been overlooked....
Fulham 1983 1-0 late Paul Curtis scrambled goal. First away win for about a year.
Man City 1984 1-0 Chris Jones lashing in a volley.
Brighton 5-3 in promotion year. Brilliant Mike Flannagan header at near post from Robert Lee's cross. Martin Keown played up front for them and scored.
Aston Villa 2-1 Tommy Caton and Leaburn's massively deflected shot from outside the box.
Man City 2-1 in relegation year, Andy Jones header and Paul Mortimer weave through and low grubber.
Birmingham 4-3 on a Sunday afternoon. 1-0 in 2nd min when John Humphrey hacked down Louis Donowa. Bowyer, Robinson, Grant and Leaburn were the scorers I think.
First game that came to mind was Manchester Utd 0 Charlton Athletic 1,Mark Stuart scoring the only goal of the game.Having been at the Nottingham Forest game 3 days before this game and losing it big time 4-0 this was the last result you would have thought of.Great day out playing in the top division when football was still a working class game.
No-one seems to have mentioned winnign at Everton the first game after Scott Parker finally defected. That, I thought, was a wonderful team performance.
But 4-3 at Newcastle was a bit of a classic wasn't it?
3-2 at Carlisle in 1981 was a similar Lazarus effort and, of course, far more significant in terms of the table
Rob Lee out, then I think Minto unexpectedly didn't play. Peacock had an excellent first half ripping us to shreds, 3-0 down, then Barness scored a sublime goal cutting in from the left. Second half a typical Ardiles style collapse, wonderful going forward but exceedingly nervous defending. Peacock missed by a fraction with a brilliant lob but then Walsh started putting over some amazing crosses and getting on the end of others!
Whilst that Newcastle side had a weak underbelly, it was packed with very talented youngsters, some of whom got a few caps for England. And it was the first time I saw Andy Hunt who looked pretty effective for a raw recent non-league youngster.
Millwall in the snow!
Is the right answer
Was at both of these games & agree they were standout victories .
Remember that corner we stood in at St James' Park & the screams of joy at the final whistle after such a loooong trip.
However, as Henry said, Millwall in the snow was the bees knees. I wore SEVEN layers of clothing that night as we set out from Dartford, anticipating the match would be called off before we reached the Den.
Unbelievable night . I had a newspaper cutting/photo on our kitchen noticeboard for about 5 years ( until it literally fell to pieces) and many a time did a glimpse of it cheer me up in that time.

That's a great anecdote and encapsulates just what it means to us addicks. Superb

Other then Millwall in the snow, gotta be Manchester City away 4-1 win josh havin the game of his life, that comes after we been smashed by west ham away boxing day 5-0. Also Spurs away boxing day a few years back
5 -1 at Ipswich. Carl Leaburn hat-trick and a Paul Linger screamer were real collector's pieces. Also took part at the half-time race around the side of the pitch.

I am not taking the proverbial here but
April 4th 1981. Charlton 1 Huddersfield 2. Is a big favorate of Town fans.
We were both riding high at the time and this was a huge game.
Bury 4 Huddersfield 4 is my personal favorite game, after being 4-0 down, it FELT like a win.
