On BT Sport 2 tonight at 7pm........Charlton v Ipswich 1983
One of my top five Charlton matches I've been too and am interested to see if my memory is correct as I believed we was robbed this day against one of the best teams of that era.My memories are of my hero Derek Hales and a dodgy penalty or free kick to Ipswich and there winning goal well into injury time?

Today, if we lost from a two goal lead, there would be all sorts of abuse but they were different times when players were generally left alone.
Proper goal nets, wingers that ran with ball on the outside (watch Martin Robinson go...) a bit of mud, slightly heavier ball, a few thumping tackles (Butcher on Simonsen) and a sense of great importance attached to The FA Cup. We lost that day but it was a performance that left us with a real sense of pride.
We deserved a replay at the very least that day but that said it was a cup tie we turned up to!
Can't say that too often these days.
The above incinent may not have happened at all
