Barnet away in the F.A cup last year. During Half time Kyle Reid was Practicing his shooting but their were also a number of smallish children playing behind the goal. One of them was running along the terrace completely oblivious to a miss hit Reid shot that was going at some speed and it him very hard on his head which resulted in him falling straight over. However he was O.K and he got to meet Reid as well.
Borat in his Mankini.
Tranmere Centre back Ian Goodison found the refs Cards which he had dropped and while the ref was talking to one of our players Goodison kept booking/sending off the ref right behind his back before he politely gave them back.
Gazza did this whilst playing for Rangers and the humourless twat of a ref booked him for it.
As it's Razil's birthday I'll remind him of Dagenham away in the Cup. Always at the cutting edge of fashion our hero was wearing a darts style shirt that Eric Bristow and Jocky Wilson would have been proud of.....
We started with renditions of the theme from Bullseye and soon the whole section of our terrace was joining in - with copious cries of" one undred and eigh teeeeeee". Never saw Raz in that shirt again....
1973/4 ish Watford away group of 16 year olds wandering around trying in vain to get served a pint. Mate decides we should have a souveneir of the day. Comes back 5 mins later with a hotel visitors book and the biro on a chain and holder thingy. In our 50s now and still see him sometimes at games. Will ask him next time if he has still got it.
Back in our Selhurst days, not sure of the year but playing Coventry at home. There was a burger van at the top of a sparcely populated Coventry away end and a very large overweight bloke took the regular walk of shame up the empty terrace to the burger van ...... after probably the 3rd visit, he turned away from the van clutching another burger to chants of 'fatties got a burger, le lah lah lah' from the Charlton faithful, he then proceeded to shake his fists at the Charlton fans and ultimately dropping his burger in an agressive manner, how we laughed ....... my couple of non Charlton mates who tagged along for the day still chuckle about it now.
Followed by "fatties getting fatter" if I remember rightly
Tea spitting moment. Remember it clearly. Bloke went apeshit.
Blimey I had forgotten all about that one. Jeez he did go mad didn't he! Didnt help that even the Coventry fans were wetting themselves at his expense with us.

He was wearing denim Dungarees as well, we even sang "Dungarees, Dungarees, Dungarees" at him rather childishly
Charlton v Palace, the 2-2 one. Walking back to the station after the game with my son and a few Palace fans were shouting abuse. I told them where to go and one got very irate and made his way over to me. Half way over the road he trod on a horse turd and went arse over tit onto said horse turd. Even his mates were doubled up laughing.

at Southend for a friendly few years back, saw "Sammy the Shrimp" walking past the away end. he was getting the usual stick but in a quiet moment my dad shouts "oi mate, you look a right prawn in that" ......absolute comedy gold!!
No-one's mentioned the 4-2 (i think) win over West Ham at the Valley. Think there was still one goal in it when the Hamsters had the chance for a break. Their keeper threw it out to their left flank to Steve Lomas who was in acres of space and we were in trouble. Out of nowhere a young ball girl stepped onto the pitch and picked the ball up.
Funniest thing about it was Steve Lomas. He was furious but couldn't bring himself to shout at a little girl, but as not even the ref could do anything he almost imploded.

For me, the evening match against Leicester was pretty memorable ( October 2001 - i cant believe it was so long ago ... ) where the ref, Mike Deen was having an absolute disaster. He sent off Steve Brown in the first half, but only after Brown was off the pitch for 4 minutes receiving treatment for an injury. Somebody in the North Stand chucked a program on the pitch in disgust and this was repeated in the hundreds across the ground.
Deen completely lost it, sent off a Leicester player and we won 2-0. Never say that the crowd cannot influence a referee's decision. the icing on the cake was that the manager, Peter Taylor was sacked the next day !
In the 4-3 away to Newcastle game, my mate celebrated the equaliser so much that his glasses started bouncing up and down on his face. Instead of stopping and putting back on he carried on celebrating, even afterthey came off. He then juggled them for a bit but failed to catch them. Somehow instead of catching them he accidently launched them right into the middle of a group of guys going mental. Once everyone had calmed down his glasses got passed back to him piece by piece. He had to watch the rest of the match holding one lense up to his eyes.
Also tied the same mate up to the Holmesdale Road terrace during a midweek home game - using the hood strings on his jacket and tracksuit top (one tying him to the terrace, the other we managed to stretch to tie his hands together). We then walked away and left him there. Nobody battered an eyelid or tried to help the poor guy tied up terrace.

yeah i remember that. i think it was a charlton merchendise magazine that they left on all seats. That advertisment campaign was never to be repeted.

I'm confident that was a Saturday afternoon game. NB I threw 4 on as my mates wouldn't :-)

Walker (Leicester keeper) leant on his post and read one whilst it was all going on, mine certainly flew well from the top of the east stand.
And mine from from the Upper West, that was such a surreal event! I can remember it like it was yesterday, couldn't believe Brown got sent off! Didn't realise it was mike Dean, I always hated that guy!
This is kinda still on topic, when I went Daggers v Bristol Rovers (in the rovers end) my mate got a burger, took a bite out of it then Rovers scored, so he lobbed the Burger then realised what he had done and had to go get a another one so I gave him a chorus of "you fat bastard"
upton park when it was "home" - looking out of the terrace at Green Lane where there was a police horse running riderless up the road, with coppers in pursuit. With the whole stand singing Goodbye Horse. Hilarious!
That made me laugh out loud. Literally, not in the internet sense.

Reckon she won us the game.
If I remember this rightly, Chris Powell(?) came over to collect the ball, clearly saw what had happened, bent down in front of her and put his finger to his lips telling her to keep quiet. Bless, she was so excited that the ball had come her way.
During one particularly bad game, a guy who sat next to us named Fred decided to shout at Paul Konchesky for an awful pass. Young Paul turned round and screamed back: "Your mum!"
Fred stood there shocked, shaking his head. "I pay his wages!"
I'll try and dig out the audio of Brownie talking about the sending off. He knew he'd done wrong, he wasn't injured and the ref even apologised to him when he was sent off. It was what happened that evening that made it even more surreal.
