Under Curbs we were always a well organised team and knew how to ground out results, but these clips do show how good some of the football really was. We really did have some great players back then.
That is surely an award winning pass for the 1st goal. Outstanding.
Darren Bent. Excellent forward.
I'm not saying Ajose is anywhere near Darren's level, but if we had someone who could pass like that in our midfield, Ajose would be scoring a lot more.
Shalalalalalalala... One of the highlights of my Charlton supporting life that day. I don't recall Jonny Fortune scoring any other headed goals from corners and I always felt that his determination to get on the end of that was a consequence of feeling hard done by with the penalty, which he couldn't get out of the way of.
For a long time I've thought that we'll never have another player who makes that number of appearances. Now, I seriously wonder if in the future we'll have anyone who makes over 100 (including managers).
Fantastic, Nug! Absolutely loving starting every day with these windows into our better times. Tear jerkers every one. Thank you and wish I had been able to see the great Sam.

So I just want to publicly recognise and thank the creative genius behind this (and so much more).
Take a bow @Nug . Truly brilliant stuff.
many thanks for some wonderful reminders
If anything manages to stir the 1.5% of his brain labelled " CAFC" then this would......
....maybe .
