Cheers Len , i am a tad surprised you can't remember the team lineout from 30 years ago though! :-0
As a kid he was one of my heros as i used to be a keeper at that age , and he was brilliant as saving penalties from what i remember 8 or 9 in one season , probably better than Joe Hart i'd say from what i can remember.

Wasn't that Paul Cooper ?
He's talking about Paul Cooper which is why he asked if he played in the match higher up the thread.
I remember we put in a blinding performance against Norwich at the end of the 2009/2010 season. It was the day they won promotion at The Valley and beat us 1-0. We absolutely played them off the park and gave everything, but their keeper wouldn't be beaten.
Agree totally with this.
This x2 - I totally lost it with the bloke next to me who had the udacity to boo at the final whistle !! I told him, in the midst of expletives, that he shouldn't bother coming anymore if he thought that way & that he should be proud of the team ................he still comes, and still boos after most games !!
2-1 away to Liverpool in the FA Cup, after going through against Bristol City (also a great tie). Seeing Kim Grant grab a well deserved and well taken consolation towards the end will never be forgotten. A fantastic day out.

Last game of the season away to B'ham, they had to win to stay up. Thankfully they did, 1-0. Not sure how we would have got out if they didn't . I think it was mid 90's. I know palarse lost and came down.
Play off loss to Swindon was not too bad, avoided Millwall in the final which we would have probably lost and contributed to a big change in playing and coaching staff from which we bounced back stronger.
Bit different as we didn't expect to get anything from the game, but I had a great time at Fulham in January this year. 7000 Charlton fans at my favourite ground in British football. "The FA Cup, who gives a f**k, we're top of the league and we're going up"
Can't decide between two games: my first ever game in....er....March 51 when we lost 0-1 to Pompey of which I remember very little unfortunately,but which started me off in the family tradition of supporting CAFC, or the F.A Cup game v. QPR in Januaey 1970. We went 2-0 up in twenty minutes against Rangers and can still see Harry Gregory leaping up on the perimeter fence when he scored the second. Then Rodney Marsh woke up: with the thousands of Ranger's fans starting their 'Rod-neee' chant he scored twice in five minutes before half time and played a blinder, with Frank Clarke getting the winner near the end. A terrific game but as with Man. U. we then went on the slide winning only one of the next 15 games before beating Bristol City in a must win last game of the season at The Valley to stay up. So, all things considered,......... it'll have to be the Pompey match, not because of the football so much but because of what followed .
I've said it before, and I'l say it again. There is absolutely no contest, this is a defeat that should leave every Addick beaming from ear to ear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HFhZidTN5o

I second that
That was a good day and night out, I took my nephew to that one and he ended up taking three days off work for it, one for the game itself and two to recover from the piss up....me sister was not to pleased with me and me mates.....remember it being very hot on the train back and all we could get for food was bloody Kit-Kats, which melted as we ate them.
I can't even remember who we played but it was on the box ( Big Match ) we lost 1-0 and it should have been much much worse, for that reason big Bob Bolder got MotM and collected a bottle of shampoo ( aka Cava ) at the end of the game. I can still see him as he collected his prize, he turned to face the camera and uttered that classic line " Oh well, win or lose on the booze " ....
