The day after Santini resigned at Spurs and Martin Jol took temporary charge, Charlton ran riot at 'the Lane', cruising into a 3-0 lead before Shaun Bartlett was sent off and they pulled two back for a nervy ending.
Shaun Bartlett got the first two, Jerome Thomas the third.

Nervy, as you say.
9 years ...Jesus :-/
I did know them so it wasn't meant too badly but fecking funny all the same... oh we laughed all the way down the Seven Sisters Road. God i miss them days.
sigh.
Cant really remember the game...
Might have been JT's league debut, but pretty sure his first Charlton appearance was as a sub in our home league cup defeat against Palace reserves.

Couldn't believe it when we went 3 up but typical Charlton we let 2 in and a nervy last 10 minutes with 10 men after Bartlett saved the ball on the line just before Keane scored the penalty.
On our line up Konchesky,Perry and Young were all ex Spurs and Murphy went on to sign for them.
Surprised me as well considering the interest in the Northwich debacle.
Wasn't there also a minutes silence for Bill Nicholson that day or was that the previous season ? We have had some good trips to Spurs over the years.
I now live in Walthamstow which is very close to White Hart Lane and I have been taken there a few times in recent years on corporate hospitality so I have adopted them as one of my other teams along with Barnet and Leyton Orient. I didn't drink that day because I took my son but on other occasions I have used the Ferryboat pub close to Tottenham Hale and got the train to Nothumberland Park 20 minutes before kick off. I now use that Pub quite a lot as it is one of the better ones in the area,it is strange how life works out sometimes.
There was a time when 3 points from the pussies from down the road was the norm
Thomas gave them the runaround, remember lot of them chatting about being happy Jol would be taking over too
they were dream days mixing it with the giants of football rather than trying to get a hard on about beating nobody fc in the last few years
thank you Alan
The look on the spuds fans next to us at half-time when we were cheering our goal replays on the big screen was priceless!
There was a minutes silence before kick off and some ex Tottenham players were on the pitch to pay respect.I think it may have been Michael Carrick's debut for them as a sub for Jamie Redknapp.
I can also confirm that we didn't sell out the away end but judging by the comments here I suspect that many Addicks infiltrated the Home stands.That some people can't remember this game clearly shows what a golden era this was.
Good random memory that !
