Up front: Shaun Bartlett for that Goal of the Season volley Right Back: Steve Brown for the coolest celebration at The Valley for one of his all too rare 25 yard netbusters Left Back: Jamie Stewart (bear with me here) for a 25 yard screamer into the goal at the Jimmy Seed end, a split second after an unidentified voice in the East Stand yelled "Noooo!! Don't shoot from theeerrrre!!!" In defense of that unidentified (ahem) voice JS had never got close before and never did again. CH: Richard Rufus for blatantly elbowing Nicos Dabizas very early on in our first prem visit to Newcastle, straight red card but it was hilarious, and we got a draw. CH: Peter Shirtliff CM: teenage Scott Parker clattered Roy Keane so hard at The Valley that the miserable vicious old git shook his hand as they both staggered to their feet CM: Keith Jones for that pass at Wembley RM: Johnny Johnny Robinson for too many classic moments to pick just one LM: Garry Nelson for being the very top bloke in football, bar none Up front: Yann Kermorgant for ultimate class (especially when he returned with other sides) In Goal: Dean Kiely for gazumping Andy Todd on a house purchase (and getting a black eye for his trouble) - one of the funniest Charlton stories I've heard
Kiely - Penalty save against nigels Young - Goal against Liverpool Powell - Goal against Coventry (Although its because of who he was that I celebrated so much) Fortune - Relegating the Nigel's Rufus - Spurs tackles Dennis - Last minute Jacko - Last minute Watford winner Parker - Sticking Viera 6 feet in the air on NYD Kinsella - Lifting the playoff trophy Kyle Reid - Winner at Southend, absolute scenes. Mendonca - Wembley
Leaburn coming off the bench to score a last minute equalizer against Norwich - we had 10 men (Balmer sent off) and were 4-2 down with 3 minutes to go - amazing fight back.
El Karkouris free kick against Arsenal - a foot like a traction engine

Great post, probably some of my favourite charlton moments all there
Special mentions for Llera equaliser for 9 men addicks vs Swindon when Akpo was winning his own knock downs, Danny Mills ending Julian Dicks career with that contemptuous burst past him and forget which billy big bollocks we were playing but Kisch I think cleaned out one of their wonder boys in their 1st attack, Morts in the snow.
Greatest moment in Charlton's history, the goal that won the only major prize we've ever won, and no-one's mentioned it? A crisp volley, to boot. But we're mentioning penalty kicks instead. And a goal celebration.

hi guys my first post after many years lurking (be kind!)
Gonna chime in with a goal from Johnny Robinson the year we won division 1 in 2000 - my memories not so good - was a rolling half volley into the far corner from the right - was live on sky can't for the life of me remember who it was against (I wanna say Tranmere maybe?) can vividly remember the goal and johnny running away arm aloft - followed Charlton the year before in the prem but in all honesty I really fell for Charlton that day and never looked back. That was such a bloody good year...
Ilic for the Wembley save Danny Mills for the last minute leveler at Villa Rufus for the White Hart Lane tackle on Ferdinand Youds for attempting to assassinate Bergcamp at thr Valley Powell for his nut meg on Mendieta on his Egland Debut Robinson for the 3rd goal against Man Utd at the Valley Parker for totally running the show against Chelsea Jensen for buying his christmas tree at my farm shop (also the Highbury chip) Walsh say no more Mendonca for the Hat trick Ray Tracey for the his goal in a cup replay at palace after a great Matt Tees flick(I wish we had these two now) Subs Peterson for a Banks like save against Palace Mijnto for crunching Hurlock at the den when he was a teenager Costa for a wonderful short spell with us Di Canio for taking the piss out of John Terry at the Valley Leaburn Scoring at Villa Park Summers putting us 1 up against Wolves in a cup match Leary Putting Billy Wright on his arse to score the winner against Wolves the year we were relegated (Billy Was England Cap
John Hendry - Winner v Millwall 1992 Kim Grant - A brace v Millwall 1995 Carl Leaburn - Goal in a win v Millwall 1996 Lee Bowyer - Goal in a win v Millwall 1996 Paul Kitson - Winner v Palace 2000 Dennis Rommedahl - Winner v Palace 2004 Dean Kiely - Penalty Save v Palace and Charlton win 2004 Jon Fortune - Goal that relegated Palace 2005 Svetoslav Todorov - Winner v Palace 2007 Matt Spring - Winner v Palace 2009
I was wondering who you hate the most but realised it’s probably both equally.

Away to Huddersfield, I think. Bad injury to Eddie Youds, too...
Picking an 11 just on one moment, and its importance in our history
Ilic - for that penalty save Miller - the goal against Chelsea that kept us up and potentially kept us alive Shirtliff - the second goal against Leeds that kept us up and potentially kept us alive Rufus- for scoring his first ever goal for Charlton in the playoff final, levelling the match Brown - that crunching tackle that led to Clive's hattrick goal, levelling the match Lee - last goal at the Valley Walsh - first goal back at the Valley Duffy - the goal that won the FA Cup Hales - ITV Goal of the Season Mendonca - Hattrick goal at Wembley Bartlett - MOTD Goal of the Season, one of the few goals from that era still replayed on TV
