I remember feeling like I'd run a marathon after that game. Went and had celebratory Champagne with the players and families just around the corner from Wembley stadium....a dream come true.
My ticket is framed along side my grandads cup final ticket.....
That's a very good point. My dad better bloody still have mine, he used to horde tickets and season tickets but not sure what he did with them when he stopped going. Would go nicely below a picture of the team celebrating, or Clive doing that pose to celebrate.
I actually watched this again last Sunday morning. Has to be in my top 5 days of my life even though I had a rager of a hangover after travelling down the day before to stay with a mate in Thamesmead.
Travelling back up north on a train full of Sunderland was two hours of fun as well. Most of them showed a lot of class on that journey.
I think the waythe Sunderland fans acted after the game was fantastic. Walking out of theground shaking hundreds of Sunderland supporters hands was very memorable
i remember i got back home after, my 12 year old head was spinning, but i saw two kids i knew were liverpool fans and said the charlton are coming for you now! i was cocky and on a cloud no other football match has ever taken me to.
remember in a pub afterwards a bunch of Sunderland fans came up and said why aren’t you celebrating? we smiled and just said we were in shock. took a while to recover and let it sink in. Afterwards i thought it was odd how we acted immediately after the game. but hearing from other charlton fans it seems as if we were in the norm. everyone was just so emotionally drained.
I was only 8. Remember following it on 5 live ALL AFTERNOON. Was at the park, then having dinner and it just went on and on! Watch the DVD on a regular basis now. Mendonca's goals were Messi-esc, what a talented player. Such a great day, I hope one day I get the chance to see Charlton in a game like this
How Clive did what he did that day I will never know
The execution of his finishing was for that day world class
It makes you wonder what if
Bright blocking off Perez for Richard rufus to head in was quality
I really did not like a fair few of their players and their fans must've gone home In absolute shock I couldn't celebrate as I was drained and too be honest I never wanted to go through that again
By 3-3 I was knackard 4-4 I didn't have the strength to care
That day Clive Mendoca gave me what I go football for has never ever happened for me again

Even Carlisle away last year could not
Match it
I remember being in stunned silece at the end...as our parts of Wembley went mad
then hugging the super old gent beside me
like a dream now
a beautiful one
Makes you wonder though, these days Brown`s brilliant tackle to set up the 4th goal would probably be a straight red card!
