I'm sure @Ledge‌ got thrown out the home end for this one going batsh*t bonkers when Lisbie scored !

Makes you feel better after the Ipswich result we just had.

The smallest guy on the pitch scores with a header in the dying moments.

Imagine going to the bridge today and coming away with a win .. the gap now between us and them is only about half a billion quid

The free-kick that Lisbie scored from should never have been given - Lisbie running down the wing with the ball tripped himself up (new boots !!) but Lino gave it as a foul. Ball whipped in and bingo,bongo,bango its in the net !!

Costa's first game.........

I was chased out of the home end after this one. Couldn't control myself when Lisbie nodded home. Those were the days

The Red Robin

It wouldn't count if Mourinho said so….

I remember that night well. It's fair to say the Chelsea fans weren't happy after the game, accusing young Kevin of diving for the free kick that he then scored from.

Blucher

A Chelsea season ticket holder at work gave me his ticket for this one and Kevin Lisbie's last minute winner was a moment of pure, unalloyed joy (quite the opposite of Saturday, in fact). I was sitting behind the dug-outs on the halfway line and remember feeling greatly reassured when Jorge Costa came on to counter the anticipated late onslaught . As he had said pre-match, 'Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink never scores against me.'

Simonsen

Lampard played wide midfield in this one, wasn't very good and was given stick by the Chelsea fans. I remember thinking that he was a complete waste of £7m! (or whatever the fee was). He'd be a snip at £7m even now!

Shrew

A night that is ever so clear in my mind.My wife was struggling with late stages of ovarian cancer at the time, I managed to get childcare to head to Stamford Bridge, I was deliriously happy with the goal, Kevin Lisbie raced across to the front row where I was standing, celebration hugs followed by fists flying from chelsea stewards. The goal was a really bright moment durIng difficult times.

The first Charlton match I took my kids to.

Great result diminished by a huge parking fine and the most expensive bag of chips I have ever purchased.
